When history becomes design: a historic home transformed

Ideally situated in the highly sought-after village of Gilly, this exceptional property is tailored for architecture and design enthusiasts. Behind its private gate, the residence effortlessly combines the absolute discretion of a village home with the spectacular volumes of a contemporary loft. An inner courtyard features two covered garage spaces and additional parking for up to four vehicles, setting the foundation for uncompromising comfort. The interior design successfully achieves a bold modern look while celebrating the soul of the original building. Gigantic exposed structural beams and a magnificent raw stone archway structure the space, lending it a unique graphic strength.

From the very entrance, the impressive ceiling height offers immediate immersion into an airy, light-filled universe. A first living space revolves around a double-sided fireplace before opening onto a vast home office or artist's atelier. This centerpiece, with the feel of an art gallery, is bathed in magnificent light thanks to a dramatic natural light well. A first dressing room, a guest WC, and a complete ground-floor suite with its dedicated bathroom perfectly round out the functionality of this level.

The upper floor is dedicated to rest and privacy. It comprises three spacious bedrooms, each featuring its own en-suite bathroom. The master suite alone occupies half of this level, thoughtfully arranged with its dressing room and en-suite bathroom. Natural light is omnipresent throughout, captured by skylights integrated into the majestic cathedral ceilings, creating a geometric interplay of light and shadow on the wooden structures.

The lower level serves as the convivial heart of the home, while remaining highly functional thanks to several separate storage spaces and an additional guest WC. Conceived as a resolutely contemporary open space, it brings together a high-end kitchen, the living room, and the dining room to form a second welcoming living area. The boundaries blur as the space opens directly onto an intimate, bucolic garden: a true green sanctuary completely hidden from view.

Completely renovated in 2013 with premium finishes, this turnkey property beautifully marries historic character with modern comfort.
