Brunoy, Île-de-France 91800

A 19th-century former holiday residence, only 30 minutes from Paris, with an outbuilding and bucolic 1, 300-m garden. The property, five minutes by foot from an Rer station and included among the town's many noteworthy houses, is set back from the road behind an initial large wrought-iron gate painted green, followed by a second one on an adjacent alleyway, lined by trees. The dwelling, built in the second half of the 19th century, as a holiday home, is surrounded by a verdant garden, which is, in turn, enclosed by stone walls.Built in an elegant neoclassical style, the two-storey plaster-coated dwelling also includes a semi-underground basement level. Divided into three symmetrical vertical rows of rectilinear windows and doors framed by moulded surrounds, the main faade is also cadenced by a stringcourse between the two lower levels, a moulded cornice as well as large-scale quoins. A dormer window with a curved pediment and ailerons crowns the tile hipped roof, which is, in turn topped with chimneys and a terracotta finial. In addition, several straight stone steps leads to the glazed front door decorated with finely crafted ironwork.Lastly, along the outskirts of the dwelling, a small cottage and a carport make up the property's outbuildings, the whole surrounded by an ornamental garden.
