20th Century Mansion West of Paris Near the Bois de Boulogne
Spanning 9470 sq ft (880 m2) of living space, this French property features a main town mansion, a guest house, and a caretaker's house, all set against a beautifully landscaped south-facing garden.
It’s nestled peacefully in the verdant heart of the Saint James district in Neuilly-sur-Seine, also known simply as Neuilly, just west of Paris.
The affluent residential suburb is a short Metro ride away from the many attractions that Paris has to offer, and borders the famous Bois de Boulogne, one of Paris' largest and most beautiful parks, and home to the Fondation Louis Vuitton.
Formerly used as a hunting ground for French Kings, the 850 hectares (2100 acre) park offers 15 km (9 miles) of cycling routes and 28 km (17 miles) of trails, with countless recreational facilities, including horseback riding, children’s play areas, and picnic spots.
The main mansion, spread across four floors and served by an elevator, is a marvel of early 20th-century architecture.
The ground floor welcomes you with a grand entrance, leading into a double reception room perfect for entertaining, a dining room that opens onto the garden, and a fully-equipped kitchen.
The first floor houses three spacious bedrooms, including a master suite with its own terrace, a bathroom, double dressing room, and a home office.
The second floor offers four additional bedrooms, another home office, two bathrooms, and a shower room.
The basement is a haven for relaxation and recreation, featuring a family room that can be used as a home cinema or games room, a laundry room, and a wine cellar.
The estate also includes a charming guest house of approximately 753 sq ft (70 m2) and a 645 sq ft (60 m2) caretaker's house, ensuring ample space and privacy for guests and staff.
Additionally, the property provides parking for up to seven vehicles, a rare luxury in this prestigious neighborhood.
Whether you are looking for a serene family residence or a prestigious investment, this 20th-century gem, once owned by legendary French filmmaker Henri Verneuil, offers everything you could desire and more.
The peaceful surroundings, combined with the district's rich history and proximity to the Bois de Boulogne, make it an exceptional place to live and invest in in Paris.
