Description

Ref. PS1028 - Immerse yourself in the heart of Agen and discover a rare and exceptional property: a 19th-century townhouse that once housed a Michelin-starred restaurant. Steeped in history, this heritage home, classified for its architectural value, is a gem that combines timeless elegance with contemporary potential. Whether you envision making it your family residence or restoring its gastronomic legacy, this property will meet all your expectations.

Ideally located in the centre of Agen, the largest city in Lot-et-Garonne, this Bordeaux stone house, facing south and crowned with a slate roof, embodies the grandeur and charm of a bygone era. The entrance to the property, flanked by two imposing pillars and an electric gate, leads to a vast parking area surrounded by greenery and flowers, offering a first glimpse of the peaceful and enchanting setting that awaits you.

As you cross the threshold, you are welcomed by an entrance hall adorned with period cement tiles, immediately immersing you in a refined and authentic atmosphere. The dining room, bathed in light thanks to its large windows opening onto the terrace, is a true gem, adorned with delicate mouldings and herringbone oak flooring that adds a warm and elegant touch to the space.

The grand salon, the centrepiece of the house, offers a breathtaking view of the park and serves as a perfect setting for moments of relaxation. This salon stands out with its majestic fireplace and carefully decorated ceiling, creating an ambiance that is both grand and welcoming. A second, more intimate salon, with cozy carpeting and direct access to a shaded terrace, is ideal for family gatherings. It is also accessible to persons with reduced mobility, a thoughtful feature that ensures comfort for everyone.

The professional kitchen, fully equipped with a central stove, two cold rooms, a vegetable prep area, a pantry, a laundry room, and a waste disposal area, is ready to meet the demands of the most discerning chefs or become the culinary heart of a large family. Its direct access to the parking area adds to its functionality, while its modern layout perfectly complements the historical charm of the house.

Upstairs, a landing leads to four bedrooms, each with its own shower room, WC, air conditioning, and spacious closets. These bedrooms offer all the modern comforts within a period setting, ideal for hosting family and guests. The attic, partially converted, houses a fifth bedroom with a shower room and WC, as well as an office. This space, with its original exposed beams, offers exciting potential for creating additional rooms or living spaces.

In addition to the main house, the property includes two other buildings. To the right, the former caretaker's lodge, currently used as a staff changing room, features an entrance hall on the ground floor and a two-room apartment upstairs. This building, along with the classified porch, adds to the prestige of the entire property. To the left of the main entrance, another townhouse of approximately 90m² in excellent condition, with two garages and a five-room apartment, is currently rented, providing a stable source of income.

This property is not just a residence; it is a piece of Agen's history, a dynamic city with all the amenities and a direct TGV connection to Paris. With its proximity to the airport, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional property, ready to be personalized to suit your needs, whether residential or professional. Contact us now for more information or to arrange a visit. Do not miss the chance to own a unique property in the heart of Agen.

A Note from the Partners

Thank you for pausing to read about our luxury real estate service. A lot of thought has been put into this note in the hope that it will tell you a bit about us as an organization. It could also help with your decision as to whether Maxwell-Baynes is a good fit for you, or indeed whether you even need a service such as ours.

Maxwell-Baynes is not seeking to be just another Agency. Our model is different to traditional French agencies in an effort to be focused on clients. We do this by removing conflicts of interest that are systemic within French agency. Our commitment to you is to provide a service with professional ethics (underwritten by both qualifications and reputation) placed at the forefront of our behavior. Your satisfaction and willingness to refer us to others will be our measure of success.

A quality that we admire in others is a willingness to take responsibility for their actions. Accountability therefore is important to us and it is why we have intentionally put our names on the business to be available and visible to both our clients and our community.

So, why are we your best choice?

•We love what we do and the place that we do it.

•We are very focused and offer a niche-boutique service for beautiful properties in the city of Bordeaux and surrounding regions of South West France.

•We love wine and wine properties.

•We care what you think of us.

•We believe that good agency is good advice.

•We understand the importance of discretion and confidentiality that many of our clients demand.

•We prequalify our inventory because we have learnt what you like.

•We have earned top real estate qualifications from France (Carte Professionnelle), the US (Broker/Realtor) and the UK (M.R.I.C.S).

•We intentionally practice at being good listeners and we ask good questions.

•You will never wait more than a day for a return call or email.

•We are over 40 years of age, we understand business and are skillful negotiators holding deals together that otherwise might not make it to a successful conclusion.

•We enjoy property, people and bringing them together.

•We take marketing very seriously and carefully research what works and what is a waste of time and money.

•We think good photography is a non-negotiable in real estate agency and so we regularly engage a professional photographer to take outstanding photos of MSB clients’ homes.

•As partners we are a true partnership team. We share all the costs and commissions equally so you always get all of us and all of our properties. All of us are equally here to help you

•Each territory we cover has only one agent in it – this ensures that there is no internal conflict of interests within MSB getting in the way of client service.

•We believe in showing up on time; doing what we say; finishing what we start; and saying please and thank you.

•We like what Albert Einstein said: “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.”
