Private mansion – Croix-Blanche, Saint-Seurin

Tucked between Saint-Seurin and Croix-Blanche, just a short walk from the basilica and some of Bordeaux's most sought-after schools (Tivoli, L'Assomption, Saint-Seurin, Bordeaux International School…), this hôtel particulier of around 300 m² has charm to spare. Honey-coloured stone, beautiful parquet floors, an original fireplace, ornate cast-iron radiators and breathtaking volumes. Fully renovated by an interior designer, the house pairs period elegance with a confidently contemporary character. Unsurprisingly, the interiors press has already taken notice. The ground floor offers two very different moods. A light-filled summer living room opens wide onto the garden: made for long dinners and lazy family Sundays. The cosier winter sitting room is the place to curl up with a book by the fire as the evenings draw in. Upstairs, there is room for everyone: six bedrooms, including a superb main suite with dressing rooms, a quiet study for working from home, a playroom for the children, a studio for creative projects, and no fewer than six bathrooms and shower rooms. And then there is the garden. A lush, secluded hideaway with a touch of Marrakech's Jardin Majorelle, concealing a heated saltwater pool, completely private. Right in the heart of the city. Yes, really. This is a home where children grow up outdoors, where you can work in peace and entertain with ease. Bordeaux living, just as you imagined it, only better.
