LES HOUCHES, Rhône, Address available on request

A charming three-story property in a residential area between Chamonix town and Les Houches village, Apartment Islay is a spacious four-bedroom family home with an enclosed garden, a covered terrace and amazing views of the Mt Blanc massif. Blending traditional alpine interior design with a feeling of modern living, Apartment Islay brings together all the amenities you would expect in 2024 and presents them using wood and stone to capture a classic alpine chalet feel. Originally two separate properties, the lower road-level floor and the garden-level living area have been joined together with a spiral staircase to create one huge property of 173m2. The lower two floors benefit from high ceilings and an open-plan design to create a spacious feeling. Tastefully renovated using a modern mix of older wood and stone and modern metal staircases, the middle floor contains two bedrooms, a bathroom and the open plan living area with a fireplace and a modern kitchen. Large glass doors open out from the living room onto a wide, south-facing terrace where a table, chairs and sofa allow you to bask in the sunshine and views of Mt Blanc whilst the flat, gated garden provides a perfect, safe place for the children to play. Above the living room lies a long mezzanine that currently serves as an office space but can just as easily be used as an extra sleeping area or a play area. The property is entered via the basement floor, through a high-ceilinged garage space into a large open room with wooden floors and a fitted kitchen. This basement floor is slightly lower than the road and has two bedrooms, a small open lounge and a separate bathroom with a bath and shower . Outside there are two open car parking places and one covered place. Apartment Islay offers a fantastic opportunity to buy as a primary residence or a second home.
