Menton, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, Address available on request

Rare opportunity to purchase an apartment with a garden located on the first floor of a historical building (without a lift) within a short walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shops in central Menton.

Its impressive entrance hall with high ceilings comprises a guest toilet, a bathroom and a mezzanine. The rest of the flat comprises a charming living room with tomettes floors and a dining area with vaulted ceiling, a separate kitchen with access to a private east-facing terrace, another bright living room with high ceilings and wooden floors (this room can easily be converted into a large bedroom), a master bedroom with a wardrobe and an ensuite bathroom with a toilet, a workshop and a cellar.

In the pleasant west-facing garden, one can find olive trees as well as different types of fruit trees.

The apartment is part of a historical building in Menton's old town. It was once stayed in by Pope Pius the Vii on his way back to Rome after his release by Napoleon from his golden jail at chateau de Fontainebleau. The Pope's coat of arms are represented in trompe l'oeil in the entrance hall as a memento.
