"I want my house to tell a story," "I want to live in a unique dwelling." Living here means choosing a genuine lifestyle in the heart of Parthenay's historic district, an inhabited, vibrant and well-preserved medieval city. Located on Europe's longest medieval street, this remarkable 15th-century residence of 535 m² combines heritage, generous volumes and multiple development possibilities. Beyond an imposing solid oak entrance door, a magnificent granite spiral staircase—the true backbone of the house—has stood the test of centuries without losing any of its splendor. It serves four levels where elegant living spaces unfold, remarkable historic elements and beautiful views over the suspended gardens. The ground floor welcomes an independent commercial space of over 100 m², unoccupied at the time of sale. Professional office, art gallery, artisan workshop or any other business venture—each person can bring their project to life while enjoying an exceptional setting. The private spaces, over 250 m² of beautifully renovated living area, occupy the two upper floors and have an independent entrance. The first floor is organized around an impressive and bright living area of 90 m². A monumental fireplace, original stone sink, traditional niche for warming bread, exposed stonework, period beams, lime-washed walls and generous ceiling height create an atmosphere that is both elegant and deeply authentic. A more intimate lounge and a spacious leisure room complete this level. Beyond, a pleasant courtyard leads to a suspended garden of 100 m², a true haven of greenery overlooking the rooftops of the medieval city. The second floor is dedicated to the sleeping area, comprising four bedrooms and a bathroom with period charm featuring both shower and bathtub. The building holds rare potential. Attics, landings and adjoining rooms represent nearly 180 m² of additional space ready to be reimagined. Guest rooms, charming accommodations, independent apartments, offices or an extension of the family home—the possibilities are numerous. Finally, few residences can claim such a rich history through such a remarkable collection of period documents. Old engravings, photographs from the 1940s and even a film shot on location in the 1980s bear witness to the unique history of this property. For over five centuries, this residence has endured through time without losing its soul. It is now your turn to write the next chapter.
