On offer here is a chance to make a smart financial investment in this magnificent part of the world. Stunning 13th century village house in one of most beautiful bastide villages in France; Monpazier (24540) This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of history. This deceptively large, semidetached village house (235 sqm heated), built about 1286, is in the heart of this popular bastide village. The entrance to the house is on the famous Carreyrou du Chapitre ('carreyroux' are pedestrian walkways throughout the village), which runs behind 'La Maison du Chapitre' (see history below). The house is located near the famous village square, the Place des Cornires, making it ideal for walking to all Monpazier restaurants, shops (hosting both Spar and Petit Casino markets), pharmacy, brewery/pub, and St Dominique Church. Monpazier offers everything you need to live full time (or part time) in this quaint, quintessential French village. There is no garden attached to this village house, but there are garden lots available to purchase for additional cost. Since this house is on a carreyrou, free parking is easily found 50 steps in two different directions. Three floors offer generous living and storage areas: Ground Floor: The entrance to the house is on a quiet cobblestoned carreyrou, rather than on one of Monpaziers livelier streets. The ground floor has a beautiful entry foyer, a summer kitchen, and a sitting area with a large sliding window looking out onto the carreyrou, offering natural light and the beautiful ambience of natural sandstone. The summer kitchen is a wonderful convenience when grilling or entertaining in the carreyrou, offering cabinets, a large sink with hot water, and plenty of space for a refrigerator and countertop appliances. Also on this floor are a newly renovated WC (2021), and a small workroom/boiler room. New floor tile was installed on the ground floor in 2020. First Floor: The centuries-old elm stairs lead up from the ground floor to the first floor. A beautiful renovated 'American Kitchen' greets you at the top of the stairs. The kitchen includes all top appliances: Refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, oven, microwave, and dual cooktops (both gas and electric). It is a chefs dream kitchen, professionally designed, (not Ikea) with ample counters, beautiful glass-front cabinets, stainless steel sink, large pantry cabinets and eat-in bar space. Two sliding doors into the kitchen keeps the space fully useable. A double window, and an additional window above the cooktop, provide plenty of natural light in the room. A large salon of 40 sqm is to the right of the stairs, featuring a magnificent wood burning fireplace with the famous 'Salamander' stone carving representing King Frances I, a great patron of the arts. This large room is perfect for entertaining, with ample space for a full-sized dining area in addition to sofas, comfy chairs, and a TV cabinet. Ceiling fan and a double window overlooking the beautiful Carreyrou complete this room. There are two bedrooms on this floor: the larger bedroom features an original (non-functioning) fireplace, built-in closets, shelving, ceiling fan, and double-glazed shuttered double window. The smaller guest room also has a double-glazed shuttered window. These two bedrooms could be converted into a roomy master bedroom, if so desired. There is a renovated family shower room complete with double sinks, large tiled shower and terra cotta floor tiles. Across from the bedrooms is a laundry room which has space for full-sized washer and dryer and a full sized wardrobe for linens. Oak pa
