BORDEAUX – PARC BORDELAIS – MAGNIFICENT BOURGEOIS RESIDENCE – PRIME FRONT-LINE POSITION OVERLOOKING THE PARK – 327 SQ.M. – GARDENS – PARKING
In one of the most sought-after and discreet addresses within Bordeaux's prestigious Parc Bordelais district, Bordeaux Sotheby's International Realty is delighted to present an outstanding property that perfectly embodies the timeless elegance and architectural grandeur of the finest 19th-century Bordeaux residences.
Enjoying an exceptional front-row position overlooking Parc Bordelais, one of the city's most treasured green spaces, this remarkable bourgeois home benefits from a truly rare setting in one of Bordeaux's most desirable residential environments. Renowned for its exceptional quality of life, peaceful atmosphere, excellent local amenities, and proximity to some of the city's most highly regarded schools, the Parc Bordelais neighborhood has long been considered one of Bordeaux's most prestigious and enduringly desirable addresses.
Set upon an exceptional plot of approximately 507 sqm, the property enjoys a highly sought-after dual-garden configuration. An elegant front garden creates a distinguished arrival experience, while to the rear, a magnificent landscaped garden opens directly onto the majestic trees of Parc Bordelais, offering an extraordinary sense of space, tranquility, and privacy. Opportunities to acquire a residence with such a privileged relationship to the park are exceedingly rare.
Behind its handsome period façade, the property offers more than 327 sqm of living space arranged over three levels. While requiring modernization and redesign to meet contemporary standards, the residence presents a unique opportunity to create an exceptional family home that seamlessly blends historic character with modern luxury.
From the moment one enters, the scale and elegance of the interior become immediately apparent. Generous proportions, abundant natural light, and beautifully preserved architectural details speak to the refinement and craftsmanship of a bygone era. The ground floor is dedicated to a series of impressive reception rooms, ideally suited to both formal entertaining and family living.
A gracious reception salon, an elegant dining room, a second lounge that could easily be converted into a ground-floor bedroom, library, or office, and a spacious kitchen area together create a highly adaptable layout. Large windows frame views of the surrounding gardens, while the property's exceptional ceiling heights enhance the feeling of grandeur throughout.
The residence retains an abundance of remarkable original features that contribute significantly to its character and authenticity. Herringbone parquet flooring, marble fireplaces, original wood paneling, intricate moldings, period joinery, and impressive ceiling heights combine to create an atmosphere of warmth, sophistication, and understated luxury. These architectural elements provide an exceptional foundation upon which to create a truly outstanding residence.
The first floor offers particularly exciting possibilities. The generous proportions of this level lend themselves perfectly to the creation of a spectacular primary suite, complete with luxurious dressing areas, refined bathroom facilities, and a private terrace overlooking the landscaped garden. From this privileged vantage point, residents enjoy enchanting views of the mature trees lining Parc Bordelais, creating a serene and picturesque setting rarely found within the city.
A beautifully appointed guest suite with its own private bathroom could also be incorporated on this level, providing elegant accommodation for family and visitors.
The second and top floor is ideally suited to family living and currently offers the opportunity to create three additional bedrooms of comfortable proportions together with a spacious family bathroom. This floor provides a practical and harmonious layout, perfectly adapted to modern family requirements while preserving the charm and character of the original architecture.
The outdoor spaces are among the property's most remarkable assets. The front garden, a rare luxury within this sought-after urban setting, allows for secure off-street parking for several vehicles within the boundaries of the property itself. This highly desirable feature significantly enhances the convenience and exclusivity of the residence.
To the rear, the principal garden reveals a truly exceptional environment. Beautifully landscaped and perfectly positioned, it enjoys ideal orientation, complete privacy, and an uninterrupted outlook towards Parc Bordelais. Free from overlooking neighbors and sheltered from urban disturbances, it offers a peaceful sanctuary where nature becomes an integral part of daily life.
Within this privileged setting, the addition of a swimming pool could be easily envisaged, further enhancing the lifestyle appeal of the property and creating an extraordinary private retreat in the heart of Bordeaux.
Beyond its impressive dimensions, prestigious location, and outstanding gardens, this residence represents a truly exceptional heritage acquisition. Properties enjoying such a privileged front-line position facing Parc Bordelais rarely come to market.
Combined with the nobility of its architecture, the rarity of its setting, and its considerable potential for enhancement, this home offers an extraordinary renovation opportunity for discerning buyers seeking to create a landmark family residence of the highest caliber.
