In the heart of historic Bellême, an iconic and sought-after town of character within the Perche Regional Natural Park, this elegant 19th-century bourgeois house perfectly combines refined period features, the rare privilege of being entirely within walking distance, a private south-facing garden, and the invaluable advantage of its proximity to and access to the state forest. A truly exceptional layout in a historic town center: Offering 155 sq m of living space (and nearly 200 sq m of potential additional space thanks to its superb 42 sq m second floor), the residence opens onto a tree-lined courtyard and a secluded 400 sq m lawn. The elegance of the 19th century and light-filled reception rooms: From the moment you step inside, the charm is immediate, with its impressive high ceilings: • A magnificent central entrance hall adorned with authentic period cement tiles. • A welcoming 15.5 sq m living room with original parquet flooring and a fireplace. • A spacious 18 sq m reception room enhanced by magnificent herringbone parquet flooring, a period carved fireplace, and elegant moldings. • A separate, fully equipped 13.5 sq m eat-in kitchen, opening directly onto the terrace and garden through French doors. The first-floor sleeping area: Accessed via an elegant parquet-floored hallway: • Two very large, characterful bedrooms (15 sq m and 17 sq m), adorned with fireplaces and moldings, one of which is a suite with its own private bathroom. • A large 12.5 sq m main bathroom overlooking the garden, equipped with a large shower and built-in storage. The remarkable potential of the second floor (42 sq m of high attic space): A spectacular volume with original parquet flooring, illuminated by a skylight, a bull's-eye window, and a window, offering the freedom to create a bespoke space: two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a master suite with a cathedral ceiling, or a large artist's studio. The privilege of a secluded outdoor space and private parking: • Enclosed garden and tree-lined courtyard of approximately 400 sq m, facing south, offering a private haven of peace with views of the treetops of the state forest. • Direct and easy access to the trails of the Bellême state forest, just steps away. • Full basement of 55 sq m (boiler room, storage workshop, and authentic wine cellar). Comfort and technical features: • Mains gas central heating. • Mains drainage connection. • Period double and single-glazed wooden windows. • All food shops, home decor boutiques, art galleries, antique shops, and restaurants are within a 2-minute walk. • Train stations for Paris-Montparnasse are 20 minutes away (La Ferté-Bernard or Nogent-le-Rotrou). A unique and charming property, ideal as a family primary residence or a refined Percheron getaway.
