villa for sale Mandelieu-la-Napoule, Alpes-Maritimes

Nestling high on the Capitou hillside in a bucolic green setting, this solid reinforced concrete architect-designed villa boasts a number of seductive features.

Facing east and south, with beautiful uninterrupted views of the sea and mountains, it benefits from late afternoon sunshine from the house's many terraces.

Set in 1,800 m² of lush, exotic gardens, the house has 3 levels, served by a lift and staircases.

On the ground floor, a vast covered entrance porch leads to a shaded terrace with a wood-burning oven and BBQ, and to a bright, generously proportioned living room with fireplace, dining room and fully equipped open-plan kitchen. The living room opens onto a very large terrace that leads directly to the swimming pool (salt water treatment), designed in a circular arc to respect the round curves of the house.

On the 1st floor, the master bedroom is bathed in sunlight and opens onto a large private terrace, a bathroom with walk-in shower and double washbasin, a dressing room and a separate toilet.

On the garden level, there are 2 en suite bedrooms, each with its own shower room, 1 bedroom, an open-plan study (which could be closed off to create a 4th bedroom on this floor), a laundry room with a sewing room, a toilet for the first floor and plenty of storage space. Each room has access to the garden with its pretty fish pond and the house's various terraces.

The villa is completed by

a loft-style flat of around 50 m², totally independent, with a small kitchen, a lovely lounge, a bedroom, a bathroom and toilet, its own terrace and direct access to the swimming pool

a 40 m² garage for 2 cars and 1 or 2 outdoor parking spaces at the top of the villa.

Built in 2009, the industrial-style decor may need to be rethought to suit individual tastes, but the features are modern and of a high standard:

Alarm system and videophone

Electric and remote-controlled blinds with blackout slats

Integrated reversible air conditioning in all rooms

Paralytic lift with telephone link to the fire brigade

Automatic watering system

Exterior lighting

Self-cleaning saltwater swimming pool with alarm (bypass created to switch on the heating system)

Electric gate

Wood oven and BBQ

Sealed safe

Plenty of storage space

A family home that is both intimate and convivial, rare in Mandelieu.
