Elegant French house in the picturesque village of Lavardens. This luxurious four-bedroom property is located in the heart of the charming Gascon village of Lavardens and has been renovated to extremely high standards. Every detail has been carefully considered in this sumptuous restoration project. This stunning home benefits from a typically Gascon setting. It is hard to imagine a more appealing village, with its castle, scenic central avenue, and magnificent houses, each worthy of a photograph or a painting. The current owners have used high-quality materials to create a modern and stylish home while preserving its original character. Features such as lightly painted half-timbered walls with a chalky finish, stripped wood floors, a superb stone fireplace, an old oak staircase, and original stone sinks are just a few of the many nods to its past. This classic-style house is situated between Condom, Auch, and Fleurance, making it easily accessible to these well-equipped larger towns, whether for a primary or secondary residence. The property includes a small private garden located on the edge of the village, at the foot of the famous Lavardens castle. You can enjoy a picnic in the shade of one of the most beautiful monuments in the southwest of France, all within the intimate confines of your own garden. Upon entering the house, you are greeted by two separate levels, each with picturesque entrances located on quiet streets of the village. Inside, there is an immediate sense of calm, with all rooms bathed in light thanks to large windows. One can admire beautiful views of the village and the surrounding countryside, with the natural sculpture of the plane trees down below, the tinkling of cups at the nearby quaint café, or the vintage sign of the hairdresser's shop opposite. If a film titled 'An American (not in Paris but) in Gascony' were to exist, one might believe that the setting of this house was designed as a film set, labeled 'authentic French village with timeless charm'. The lower ground floor may have once been a shop and could one day be converted into a gallery or a guest house. It boasts an attractive vaulted entrance that opens directly onto the street below. Currently, this level comprises a large room/bedroom with a door leading to the adjacent garage, which is part of the medieval basement featuring beautiful stone walls dating back to the time of the castle. All other living areas are located 'above' the lower ground floor and can be accessed via a charming wooden door located on another small medieval street or through an internal staircase leading to the kitchen and upper floors. The main entrance hall is an attractive room that deserves a mention. It opens directly onto the main living room but is spacious enough to evoke a library or small study feel. Today, it is minimalistic, with beautiful plastered walls and original oak parquet flooring, providing a pleasant separation between the street and the rest of the house, giving an impression of peace and privacy before entering the main living room. The living room, with two windows—one overlooking the sculpted plane trees of the central square of this tranquil village and the other facing the side of the house—features an impressive, carefully restored original medieval stone fireplace, currently housing a wood stove. This room is perfect for both winter and summer, with open windows. Situated at a height above street level, it offers views over the plane trees and terracotta roofs. The space is peaceful and harmonious, feeling private without any direct visibility from neighbors, yet integrated into the community. The kitchen, the heart of the home, is equipped with handmade low and high cabinets painted in a shaker style, with black granite countertops. The finishes and details of these cabinets are exceptional, with cleverly concealed doors hiding shelves, allowing the space to maintain a clean and tidy appearance when entertaining guests in the open dining area. It features a remarkable gas cooker, with a hood beautifully hidden behind an elegant handmade wooden hood adorned with fine details. A large island unit, also topped with black granite, houses a 'butler' style sink. Beneath it, cabinets lined with tongue and groove paneling add a touch of elegance. The dining area at the end of the kitchen has a first-floor window overlooking the street, illuminating the space. It features an original fireplace and built-in cupboards. Under the staircase, an old pine cupboard provides additional storage. On the other side of the kitchen is a small but elegant utility room equipped with custom-built storage, a 'butler' style sink, and space for a washing machine/dryer. A renovated water closet is also located on this floor, simple yet classic in style, comprising a shower, toilet, and sink, with black-tiled flooring and high-quality finishes. The first floor can be accessed from the kitchen via an old wooden staircase that has been beautifully preserved, leading to the first-floor landing. The landing serves as a library, maximizing the generous space with bookshelves and custom-built cabinets. Designed in the same style and quality as the kitchen elements, this charming reading space adds to the home's character. From the landing, there are three character-filled bedrooms and the family bathroom. The master bedroom offers a 'suite' atmosphere, with a recessed space perfectly accommodating a double bed. An original fireplace adds further character to this room, which also has ample space for a sofa or armchairs. A noteworthy detail is the beautiful Art Deco style glass door opening onto the landing. The two additional double bedrooms are of good size, boasting original wooden floors and half-timbered beams. One features a dressing area (hidden behind a half-timbered wall), while the other has a built-in cupboard beside an old fireplace. The family bathroom offers a harmonious blend of aesthetics and luxury. A painted cast iron bathtub, in a soft oat color, is centered in the room, featuring high-quality independent, floor-mounted faucets. A double vanity unit with a handmade wooden base and a marble top adds a touch of opulence. Two wall sconces and high-end finishes complete this elegant room. What we love about this property is the rare level of care and attention that has been invested in the renovation. The result is a truly exceptional home. The owners have preserved much of its original character while ensuring comfort and luxury. From switches and outlets to kitchen handles and bathroom faucets, the materials and fixtures used are of the highest quality. This property will appeal to lovers of authentic French homes! It is ideal for those seeking a peaceful, Zen-like home in the heart of a postcard-worthy village in France. It is the kind of property that you could move into immediately to start a new life in France without having to worry about renovations or peeling plaster. It is suitable for a couple as well as a family, or anyone wishing to develop a commercial activity (subject to permit) in the beautiful 'gallery' of the lower ground floor. If you were to imagine the new owner, who might they be? An artist: painter or potter, opening a gallery on the lower ground floor, next to the charming little café with its shaded terrace. Someone wishing to move to Gascony but who does not want to be isolated in the countryside. Here, one quickly becomes part of the village while enjoying the tranquility of an elevated location. A therapist or osteopath, or anyone wanting to live in a beautiful house with a workspace below. Clients could access the 'treatment room' directly without entering into the owners' private space. A couple or family with young children who will appreciate the spacious bedrooms. Enthusiasts of character homes with a Zen charm. This house invites quiet contemplation and promises rest and retreat from the world. It is also discreetly luxurious.
