ÉCULLY - BOURGEOIS MANSION FROM 1896 WITH PRESERVED CHARM ON NEARLY 2,000 M² GROUNDS 316 m² (Carrez law) - Wooded grounds - Independent apartment - Elevator - 4 garages - Buildable plot Price: €1,350,000 Just minutes from Écully town center and at the gates of Lyon, discover a singular property where the charm of the late 19th century is expressed in every detail. Built in 1896, this elegant bourgeois mansion reveals itself at the end of a private driveway, behind a motorized gate, in the heart of a fenced and wooded plot of nearly 2,000 m². From the first steps, the character of the place asserts itself: cement tiles with remarkable patterns, herringbone parquet floors, marble fireplaces, moldings and rosettes, period doors, woodwork and ironwork... So many heritage elements that tell the story of this house and give it a rare atmosphere. A family property with generous proportions, also offering multiple renovation possibilities for those wishing to imagine a new chapter in its history. RECEPTION SPACES WITH TIMELESS CHARM Developed over three main levels, the house seduces with the generosity of its spaces, beautiful ceiling heights and particularly interesting layout. On the ground floor, a fine entrance leads to two vast reception rooms flooded with light, currently arranged as living rooms and dining room. Original architectural elements have retained all their nobility: period fireplaces, parquet floors, moldings and glazed doors compose an elegant and authentic ensemble. A large family kitchen, extended by a generous pantry and back kitchen, opens onto a pleasant vegetated terrace, shaded by climbing plants. This level also accommodates a large bedroom with independent access, offering the possibility of arranging an office or space dedicated to professional activity, as well as a bathroom and toilet facilities. On the first floor, accessible by several staircases and by elevator, the spaces allow for three to four bedrooms and several bathrooms or shower rooms, depending on the layout chosen. On the second floor, an already renovated and habitable apartment as-is constitutes a real asset. It comprises three bedrooms, a bathroom, toilet facilities, a large living room and open kitchen, as well as attic space. This apartment can maintain its independence or be united with the rest of the mansion thanks to existing interior circulation. The main staircase and elevator serving the different levels have benefited from recent work and are in very good condition. WOODED GROUNDS AT THE GATES OF LYON Outside, the property opens onto a fenced and landscaped plot of nearly 2,000 m². A majestic protected century-old tree, several fruit trees, a pond and abundant vegetation compose a charming garden, offering multiple spaces to imagine throughout the seasons. The terrace adjacent to the kitchen invites you to enjoy fine weather, receive family and friends or simply savor lunch in the shade of the vegetation. Part of the land also presents buildable potential, allowing for the study of different development projects: swimming pool, pool house or additional outbuildings, subject to necessary planning permissions. Four closable garages, an adjoining workshop and several parking possibilities complete the property. A MANSION WITH MULTIPLE POSSIBILITIES Beyond its remarkable architecture, this house stands out for the flexibility of its configuration. It can notably accommodate: - A large family, wishing to have beautiful reception spaces and multiple bedrooms - An intergenerational project, allowing each to maintain independence - A primary residence combined with offices or professional activity - A heritage project of division into several dwellings, to be studied according to planning rules and applicable permissions Its independent apartment on the top floor, its various accesses, its three levels and its elevator open a wide range of possibilities. THE CHARM OF THE OLD, TO BE REINTERPRETED Carefully preserved over generations, this mansion has retained much of its original architectural elements. Renovation work is now to be considered, mainly on the ground floor and first floor: facades, external joinery, kitchens, bathrooms, paintwork and modernization of certain spaces. The period parquet and cement tiles, in very good condition, form a remarkable foundation for a restoration project respectful of the house's identity. The second floor, already renovated, is habitable as-is. On the technical side, the property has a recent gas boiler with external probe regulation, solar panels contributing to hot water production during the summer period and an energy performance certificate rated D. An interesting result for a building of this era, even before the thermal improvements that could be considered as part of its renovation. A complete basement of approximately 100 m² accommodates cellars, workshops, storage spaces and wine cellar.
