Renovated haussmannian apartment

The apartment opens onto a spacious entrance hall leading to a living room of over 50 m², bathed in natural light thanks to its large windows and impressive ceiling height. Solid wood flooring, ceiling moldings, a functional fireplace, and a glass roof bring elegance and character to this reception area, which also features a continuous balcony overlooking the quay.

This first level also includes a second living space comprising a kitchen with a pantry and a living room with a library, which can also serve as a dining room or additional reception area. A bedroom, a bathroom, and separate toilets complete this floor.

The entire ground floor is visually connected through glass partitions, promoting light circulation and enhancing the sense of space. These partitions provide access to a 25 m² terrace, sheltered from view, as well as the mezzanine.

The second level houses a studio/office, two bedrooms, a shower room, separate toilets, a walk-in closet, and a laundry room. The mezzanine, open to the living spaces, offers panoramic views of both the living room and dining area. These volume plays, combined with the glass partitions, allow these second-floor spaces to benefit from abundant natural light.

Fully renovated, the apartment features high-quality finishes: rewired electricity, gas heating, and double glazing.

Situated on the quays of downtown Sète, this apartment enjoys a privileged location, close to shops, transportation, and the train station (an 8-minute walk away).

Between the Étang de Thau and the Mediterranean Sea, the city of Sète offers a diverse cultural scene (including the Musée International des Arts Modestes and Théâtre de la Mer) and numerous natural spaces, such as the Forêt Domaniale des Pierres Blanches or the beaches of Marseillan and Agde, just a 30-minute drive away.

Redesigned by interior architect Pierre Jeleff, the apartment emphasizes the natural flow of light, enhanced by unobstructed views and significant transparency between interconnected spaces. The renovation preserved the iconic features of Haussmannian architecture, such as solid wood flooring, ceiling moldings, and fireplaces, while integrating them into a contemporary design.

Generous volumes, abundant natural light, and high ceilings define the reception areas. At the center of the project, a glass roof extends the sense of openness and structures the apartment around a glass and metal core created by a local blacksmith. This design introduces new functionalities, including a modular space that can accommodate a bedroom or office without altering the original volume balance.
