# A Family Home, a Story Waiting to Be Written… in the Heart of Aix-en-Provence Some homes are simply visited… while others are places you can instantly imagine calling your own. Just a few minutes’ walk from the centre of Aix-en-Provence, in one of the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, on **Avenue Lucien Gautier**, this characterful residence dating back to **1924** opens its doors to a rare world of elegance, charm and refined living. Behind its elegant façade, this **360 sqm residence** has stood the test of time, preserving all the timeless appeal of period properties: **high ceilings, generous proportions, natural light and original period features**. Set within a magnificent, level and tree-lined **1,714 sqm plot**, the house extends over three floors and currently offers **17 rooms, including 11 bedrooms**, two spacious living and reception rooms, two kitchens, bathrooms and numerous spaces waiting to be reimagined. **A generous family home, designed for bringing people together.** A home where you can easily picture long family lunches around a beautifully laid table, family gatherings, children running through the garden and long summer evenings lingering beneath the trees. And then, there is the garden. Sheltered from view, fully enclosed and beautifully planted with mature trees, it surrounds the residence with an atmosphere of peace and privacy. A true green sanctuary in the heart of the city. According to your wishes, a large, sun-drenched area could accommodate a **swimming pool and pool house**, while the grounds lend themselves to a wealth of possibilities: a children's play area, vegetable garden, landscaped grounds or the creation of a new outdoor living space. And because a property of this scale can be reimagined in many different ways, an **approximately 165 sqm basement** extends beneath the house, offering multiple possibilities for conversion and the installation or adaptation of technical infrastructure, including plumbing and electrical systems. Parking will never be an issue: the property can comfortably accommodate several vehicles, as well as those of your guests. ### Rare Potential in the Heart of Aix-en-Provence Beyond its charm and exceptional location, this property also offers **significant long-term value and scope for future development**. The plot is located within **Zone UI, with no restrictive CES (site coverage ratio)**, and may offer development opportunities for a range of projects, subject to the necessary planning permissions. These could include extending the existing house, creating an additional building or even **subdividing a plot of approximately 650 sqm**. Just a short walk from **Cours Gambetta and the city centre**, and close to bus services, the SNCF railway station and the main motorway links, this address combines the qualities so rarely found together in Aix-en-Provence: **the privacy of a substantial private estate, the timeless charm of a period residence, generous garden grounds and immediate access to the vibrant life of the city**. **A residence of a kind rarely seen today.** A home with a story of its own… **now waiting for you to write the next chapter.** Don't miss this rare opportunity.
