Charming 7-room house, 208m2 – La Rochelle Hypercent

In the very heart of the city, just steps from the Old Port, discover a rare property steeped in La Rochelle's history: the former Grévin Museum, now transformed into a characterful house of approximately 208 square meters of living space, where history converses with architecture, light, and artistic inspiration.
From Rue Verdière, a shared passageway discreetly leads to the property's entrance. Upon entering, the tranquility is striking: in the heart of the city, the house seems removed from its hustle and bustle.
Spread over several levels and complemented by patios, terraces, and additional spaces, it reveals a succession of unique atmospheres and volumes.
On the ground floor, a large workshop offers numerous possibilities: a creative space, an artist's studio, storage, or a professional activity. It extends into a separate studio, comprising a kitchenette, a bathroom with WC, and a living and sleeping area. An ideal layout for entertaining, accommodating a loved one, or establishing a freelance business.
A first outdoor patio creates a transition to the heart of the house: a large, fully fitted and equipped kitchen, designed as a true living and social space.
Extending from it, the living room offers a warm atmosphere around its pellet stove. A large bay window opens this space onto an intimate inner courtyard.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are arranged around an open-plan volume, enhanced by a large glass roof that connects the different levels and diffuses light throughout the house. A subtle interplay of mirrors complements this unique architecture, reflecting the volumes and perspectives.
On one side, there is a first bedroom, a shower room/WC, and a staircase leading to a second bedroom.
On the other, a master suite with its own shower room and WC.
Light is omnipresent throughout. Glass roofs, generous openings, patios, and plays of transparency give the place a unique atmosphere, somewhere between a family home, an artist's loft, and a discreet address.
Contemporary comfort blends seamlessly with the house's history: a recently installed heat pump, pellet stove, large bay window, modern amenities, and adaptable spaces, all without ever compromising the spirit of the place.
More than just a house, this property represents a legacy. Its owner now wishes to entrust to new occupants a place he has lived in, transformed, and lovingly preserved.
This address is ideal for those seeking something more than a conventional property: a family wishing to live in the heart of La Rochelle, a couple with an appreciation for art and architecture, a professional looking for a space that combines living and creative work, or an investor seeking a truly unique property.
The house comprises seven rooms: a fully equipped kitchen, two living rooms, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets, an independent studio, and a large workshop.
A rare, timeless place in the heart of La Rochelle, waiting to be discovered and experienced…
