Description
EXCLUSIVITE JOHN TAYLOR
Au cœur du centre historique, dans un bel immeuble en pierre, ce charmant appartement à rénover séduit par son authenticité et son fort potentiel.
L'entrée dessert un vaste salon salle à manger de 35 m² baigné de lumière, cuisine équipée pleine de charme, trois belles chambres au calme et deux salles de bains. Très bonne répartition des pièces.
Les prestations d’origine ont été conservées : parquet, cheminées, vitraux, apportant à cet appartement toute l’élégance et le cachet de l’ancien. Les grandes fenêtres sont neuves et offrent une luminosité naturelle dans toutes les pièces.
Une grande cave voûtée vient compléter l’ensemble, idéal pour le stockage ou l’aménagement d’un espace complémentaire.
Situé au sein d'une petite copropriété avec syndic professionnel, sans procédure en cours.
Un bien de caractère et unique à deux pas des lieux touristiques, cafés, commerces et transports (20 min en tramway de la gare TGV et 45 min en tramway de l'aéroport). Tout se fait à pied.
Parfait pour un profil urbain, pied à terre ou investissement locatif.
Agence John Taylor.
Location
Open in Google MapsLiving in Bordeaux
A UNESCO World Heritage city with gorgeous 18th-century architecture, world-class wine culture, and a 2-hour TGV ride to Paris. Cost of living is higher than most of France but still 25-30% cheaper than Paris, and the international community is growing fast. You'll need functional French to truly integrate — fully English-speaking jobs are rare outside tech.
Morning baguettes from the corner boulangerie, two-hour lunches with wine that no one apologizes for, and the slow realization that the French were right about everything involving food.

Next steps for moving to France
Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.
Understand the buying rules
Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.
Sort out your visa
Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.
Plan your finances
Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.
Know your tax obligations
US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.
Set up healthcare
Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.
Run the full checklist
Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
