Upstairs, a domed study and circular room add architectural interest. The former fumoir has been reimagined as a spacious suite. An independent office with street access makes working from home effortless and discreet.

A vaulted cellar, attic, and outbuildings add storage and versatility. The garden, framed by stone walls and shaded by mature trees, offers year-round beauty and privacy—a hidden refuge in the center of town.
