A large 206 m² flat on the piano nobile of a 17th century townhouse in the conservation area of Dijon.
Dijon, the capital of Burgundy, holds the "Ville d'art et d'histoire" (City of Art and History) label and boasts a pedestrianised city centre where half-timbered townhouses, 17th and 18th century mansions and Romanesque and Gothic churches stand side by side. The flat is located in the conservation area of the historic centre, just a short walk from the main squares and places of interest: the Halles de Dijon, the Place de la Libération and its Palais des Ducs et des États de Bourgogne, the Square Darcy and its famous "White Bear" by François Pompon, and the Cité Internationale de la Gastronomie et du Vin. It is also close to a wide range of schools, services and shops in the surrounding area.
The Dijon area is served by a dense motorway network - A6, A31, A36 and A39 - and Dijon-Ville railway station offers services linking to Paris, Lyon, Geneva and Luxembourg. Lyon-Saint-Exupéry airport is also easily accessed by car or shuttle.
This townhouse is one of the most emblematic in Dijon. Although located in the heart of town, it is set back from the street and protected from prying eyes by high stone walls surrounding the property. A wide carriage gate provides pedestrian and vehicular access to the paved inner courtyard. The dressed stone facade of the main building reflects the symmetry and sobriety of the classical architectural style.
Topped by a recently replaced flat tile roof, it comprises a ground floor, a piano nobile, vaulted cellars and an attic. The roofs and facades are listed French historic monuments.
The flat, one of the most spacious in the commonhold, is located on the first floor. Access to the flat is via a magnificent staircase, whose decorative features are also listed: chequerboard stone flooring, spiral staircase with wrought-iron banister, faux marble cladding, moulded cornices and internal wooden shutters. The landing only serves the two flats on the first floor. There is also a back staircase leading to the property from a rear courtyard.
