This striking modern villa has a history dating back to 1935, when it was designed, built & resided in by one of the key architects of the Palais de la Mediterranee in Nice. Now listed within the ‘’Patrimoine de France’’, the large stained glass ‘’ocean liner’’ found in the principle lounge area is formally part of France’s heritage. Generous volumes & a boating theme are central to the villa’s character; both are clearly illustrated in the main lounge. This high ceilinged room is brightly lit by windows stretching across one half of it, also offering idyllic sea views. The central feature is of course the previously mentioned stained glass masterpiece, although a mezzanine in the far corner of the room supported by wide cylindrical columns is also of rare & unique design. Note that underneath the mezzanine there is a fireplace & plenty of room for dining. Remaining on the dining theme, on this same level (the first floor) you will find the kitchen. It is a brand new fully fitted kitchen, modern Provencal in both style & colours. Further along a corridor you will find the master bedroom suite. Recently re-modernised in an extremely tasteful manner, the dark wooden floors blend perfectly with creams & lighter browns. Both the master suite & a second bedroom on this level benefit from large windows opening onto sea views & the private swimming pool below. On the ground floor the principal guest room is very spacious & extremely bright. It benefits from a beautifully tiled & equally bright en suite bathroom with double basins. Sliding glass doors give direct access to decked poolside. The pool itself is L shaped and is boarded by a combination of teak decking & English lawns. On this floor are two further guest bedrooms. Two additional rooms could either be used as bedrooms or other, e.g. utility/study/gym. Note that the main entrance to the villa is on the first floor. There is a secondary entrance at ground floor level. Finally, I have perhaps left the best till last. From the first floor there are outdoor steps up to enormous teak decked roof terraces. Three tiers cover the whole roof (approx 200 m2) & there is a summer kitchen. Discover spectacular views over the bay of La Garoupe; from up here you really do feel like you are on that ocean liner, the sea stretched out in front of you & the seagulls overhead. It’s a perfect location for summer parties or a quiet evening ‘en famille’. Generous volumes, style, elegance & panoramic sea views really do make this an exceptional property. 5 to 10 minute walk to the Garoupe beach.
