A bourgeois manor, a way of life - Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon

Where time seems to stand still

Beyond the gate, the noise of the city fades away. A shaded path winds between centuries-old trees to an elegant 19th-century residence, with its tower, set within an enclosed park where light filters through the foliage. Here, just a few minutes’ walk from the town center of Sainte-Foy-lès-Lyon and its renowned schools, including the international school, you find the calm of a country house without leaving the vibrancy of Lyon’s western area.

An entire floor, like a house within a house

The apartment occupies the whole first floor, served by a majestic solid-oak staircase. Beyond the door, a suite of rooms unfolds: the hallmark of the great homes of the past, where each space answers the next in rare harmony. 175 m² are laid out with uncommon generosity: an entrance that sets the tone, a dining room, a double living room with a working fireplace, a separate kitchen with its dining area, three spacious bedrooms, a playroom or office, a bathroom with dressing room, a separate WC with storage, and a laundry area. A separate storage room on the mezzanine level completes the property.

ㅤLight never leaves the place. Dual south-west and east exposure bathes every room in sunshine from morning to evening, with no overlooking—only the garden’s foliage as a backdrop.

The charm of authenticity

Underfoot, a varnished pitch pine parquet floor, a now-rare wood, runs through all living areas, time-worn and beautifully patinated. Three marble and stone fireplaces, period plinths: every detail tells the story of this manor house, without ever sacrificing today’s comfort.

Potential as a hallmark

Beyond the charm, real potential lies within the walls: several service risers (water, gas) already in place make it possible to envisage an additional bedroom or shower room, a kitchenette, or even a second independent entrance thanks to a second landing door—ideal for a liberal profession, mixed use, or simply independence for grown children.
