Residence for sale - Nice VBD44089

Located in the heart of a lively and sought-after district of Nice, in the immediate vicinity of universities, shops and transport (tramway, bus, motorway access), this exceptional residence perfectly embodies the historical and architectural charm of the Côte d'Azur. Built in 1901 by an industrialist from Nice who had returned from Indochina, this Far Eastern colonial-style villa fascinates with its singular architecture and preserved period details: stained glass windows signed by a master glassmaker, original ceramic friezes, Art Nouveau ironwork, bamboo downspouts, and a dominant belvedere offering a panoramic view of the rooftops of Nice and the Mediterranean Sea. Passed down from generation to generation since 1944, this property embodies a real part of Nice's heritage, bearing witness to a rare family and architectural history. Raised on four levels, the property develops nearly 560 m2 of living space, complemented by approximately 195 m2 of annexes (basement, technical rooms, garage). Nestled in a green setting, the garden gives the whole a peaceful and refined atmosphere, only a few minutes from the center of Nice, the 5th largest city in France and capital of the French Riviera. This rare property, with multiple potential, lends itself to many projects: Prestigious family residence, headquarters of a foundation or a cultural center, High-end offices, or heritage rehabilitation project. A unique address, a witness to the architectural know-how of the early twentieth century, where history, elegance and the Nice art of living are combined to perfection. Show all Show less
