In a charming village, only 50 minutes from Paris’ Porte d’Auteuil and a brief 9-minute journey from the Marchezais-Brouu00e9 SNCF station, which offers direct access to Paris-Montparnasse, stands a delightful 1850 sharecropper’s house. Priced at $388,200 USD, this residence unfolds across 167 mu00b2 of living space, set within a 450 mu00b2 plot.
As you step through its gates, graced by a lush, fragrant purple wisteria, a landscaped garden welcomes you. Here, an ancient olive tree stands sentinel beside an ornamental pond, home to goldfish and Koi carp, framed by blooming water lilies and elegant bank plants. A wooden terrace invites leisurely lunches in the embrace of family and friends.
The house itself, with its serene aura, captivates with elegant olive green window frames, and is adorned with rose bushes and clematis. A paved driveway leads to a built-in veranda, the home’s main entrance, which thoughtfully preserves the traditional architecture, seamlessly connecting two residential structures.
To one side, a beautifully renovated barn houses the living room. Here, large bay windows, an open fireplace, exposed beams, and wooden bays create a warm, inviting atmosphere. This space also provides access to a vaulted cellar and boasts a spacious mezzanine, perfect as an office, games room, or guest bedroom.
On the other side, the farmhouse features a dining room, an open furnished kitchen, a corridor with cupboards, a laundry room, a master suite with a dressing room and bathroom. The upper floor reveals a sleeping area with a corridor, built-in cupboards, two bedrooms, an office, and a bathroom.
Moreover, the farmhouse includes an adjoining garage with a boiler room, workshop, and storage space, as well as an independent 35 mu00b2 studio with a kitchenette and bathroom on the upper floor.
This refreshingly atypical property, brimming with authentic charm and character, is ideal for those seeking a primary or secondary residence that offers the tranquility of rural living along with the enjoyment of a verdant outdoor space. Conveniently located close to all amenities, including shops, schools, and transport (with a bus stop nearby for middle or high school), the property is just 3 minutes from the N12 and 11 minutes from Dreux.
