Located in Ville-d’Avray, just a few kilometres from Paris and on the edge of the Fausses-Reposes Forest, this historical house directly overlooks the Corot Ponds. Created from the 17th century onwards to supply water to the Versailles estate and later immortalised in paintings by Jean-Baptiste-Camille Corot, the ponds form the principal outlook from the south-facing living spaces.
Offering 340 m² of living space across three floors, the house reflects Neo-Basque architecture. Light-rendered façades, shuttered windows, a warm-toned tiled roof, exposed eaves and climbing vegetation define the exterior character. A glazed veranda, terrace and landscaped garden framed by stone walls create a direct connection between the interiors and the surrounding landscape.
The ground floor comprises an approximately 40 m² main living room, dining room, kitchen with dining area, fully glazed extension, TV or reading room, study and mezzanine. The principal living room features ceilings of approximately 3.1 metres, herringbone oak parquet floors and a classical wooden fireplace. The glazed extension leads to a generous cathedral-ceilinged living space.
The first floor includes four bedrooms. The main bedroom is complemented by a fitted passage, bathroom, WC and dressing room. Two of the three additional bedrooms open onto a shared balcony-terrace overlooking the ponds. A second bathroom and an additional bathroom complete this level.
The second floor comprises two bedrooms, a bathroom and separate WC. One bedroom opens onto a large private terrace, while all rooms on this level enjoy elevated views across the Corot Ponds.
The garden extends in front of and along the sides of the house, with lawns, stone walls, planted borders and mature trees. Only a discreet pedestrian path separates the property from the water. Parking is available near the entrance, together with a covered area suitable for one vehicle.
