This well-maintained character property was built in 1930, and was occupied by the same family for 78 years, before the current owners bought it in 2018. It combines modern convenience with traditional styling and craftsmanship, and could lend itself to a variety of uses.

The first and second floors could be used as a 5 bedroom family home, or each floor could be independent.
The attic is large enough to create another apartment, from which some of the best views of Carcassonne would be enjoyed.
An independent one-bedroom apartment, with wheelchair access, is found on the ground floor.

In the late 70’s this large home was significantly remodelled and upgraded, adding the dining terrace with table-tennis room below, along with the garage, boiler room and reinforced concrete footings.

The home offers lots of light from the many south-facing windows, plenty of parking in a safe, quiet neighbourhood, an abundance of storage, a nearby commercial centre, and a large garden with space for a pool or hot tub. Add to this what must surely be some of the best views in Carcassonne, and you have an exciting opportunity to own a unique and inspiring property!
