The evolution of architecture in Le Havre reflects the city's turbulent history, from a small medieval fishing community to a modern port city, recognized for its remarkable architecture.

Rebuilt after the war, thanks to the creative genius of Auguste Perret and his innovative approach to reinforced concrete, it nevertheless hides in the midst of this architectural modernity, some beautiful nuggets within the rare old buildings miraculously spared.

This superb 152 m2 Carrez apartment, on the second floor of one of the city's most elegant buildings, is an excellent example.

At the foot of the splendid facade designed by a renowned architect at the beginning of the last century, an imposing wooden door opens onto a large hall giving discreet access to a large south-facing courtyard with a garden and a judicious bicycle storage room, strictly dedicated to co-owners.

A wide staircase punctuated by scrolled balusters leads quickly to the apartment.

From the entrance, the Haussmann style is evident. The high ceilings decorated with moldings and rosettes combine with the beauty of the old parquet floors and the marble fireplaces to offer a bourgeois and refined atmosphere, so characteristic of this type of apartment, far from the contemporary standards of the city.

The undeniable charm of the place is found particularly in the living rooms.

On one side, a double living room which can be divided into an office or a spare bedroom, benefits from beautiful light coming from the three high French windows opening onto a narrow balcony, far from any annoying overlooked area.

On the other side, the dining room displays the originality of its bow window generously diffusing the slightest sunlight.

Adjoining these living spaces of around sixty m2 in total, the fitted and equipped kitchen of 14 m2 feels comfortable, remaining independent but retaining the usefulness of direct access to the dining room.

It is then at the end of a long corridor that we find the two comfortable bedrooms, 19 and 15m2, isolated from all noise, enjoying the calm of the garden and the courtyard. Each of them benefits from a shower room with a precious window opening to the outside.

As for the independent toilet, it is both discreet and functional, behind a door from the corridor.

But the additional advantage of this apartment also lies in the fact of having very useful additional areas available.

Indeed, it has a maid's room of 9.50 m2 (13 m2 on the floor), which can be judiciously renovated and converted into a charming, intimate cocoon. Located under the attic of the 5th floor and accessible from the apartment via the back staircase, it has enough to meet any needs for independence and isolation.

In addition, with two basement cellars of 11 and 8.5 m2, there is really no shortage of storage space.

If necessary, nearby parking spaces are always available for rental or subscription (a few hundred euros per year).

A stone's throw from the City Hall gardens and the Espace Coty, the shopping center of the hyper center, a quarter of an hour's walk from the beach and the train station, this apartment has all the necessary qualities to satisfy city dwellers looking for rarity and refinement wishing to have easy access on foot to the many activities and services of the ocean city.
