Beside the Armançon River and under Semur-en-Auxois’ medieval walls, two stone warehouses from the 15th and 17th centuries have been reborn as a bright, low-maintenance home. Furthermore, Paris is only one hour away by TGV. A paved path reaches two doors: a vaulted oak entry for the house and, just beyond, a glass door for the river-front reception room. Below, a garage and a cool vaulted cellar add practicality.
Inside, the ground floor first offers a cosy living room and semi-open kitchen framed by stone and terracotta tiles. Moreover, a compact timber core hides shower, WC, and storage. Past it, the two-tier reception room appears: fireside comfort below and, three steps up, a glass-walled platform that seems to hover over the river bend.
Highlights:
• 125 m² interior on two levels
• Double-height reception room with full-height glass and river view
• Original stone walls and hand-carved fireplace paired with clean oak joinery
• Mezzanine studio plus two calm bedrooms under exposed beams
• Restored medieval cellar for wine or storage
• Secure street-level garage with internal access
• Shops, cafés, cinema, and schools in town; 60 minute train ride to Paris
An oak stair lined with book shelves rises to a bright mezzanine for work or reading. A short corridor then leads to two minimalist bedrooms where oak panels warm a wall of exposed stone. Consequently, the rooms feel both modern and timeless. Oak floors run the length of the level.
Meanwhile, street-level doors reveal the garage. Behind it, another door opens to the dry vaulted cellar lit by three small arches—ideal for a Burgundy collection.
Old masonry and crisp lines meet here, creating a tranquil base for riverside walks and quick Paris trips.
