Description

L'élégance d'un lieu, l'inspiration d'une vie

MyAgent est fier de vous proposer cette demeure rare où chaque mur semble raconter une histoire. Un lieu chargé d'âme, à la fois familial, inspirant et singulier, situé à seulement 20 minutes de Paris.

Derrière sa façade discrète se dévoile une maison de plus de 300 mètres carrés, posée sur un jardin en terrasses de 1 200 mètres carrés, baigné de lumière et de verdure. Ici, le temps suspend son vol : volumes anciens, poutres apparentes, cachet d'époque et atmosphère apaisante.

Autrefois, l'une de ses propriétaires y avait fondé un théâtre privé, devenu aujourd'hui une grande dépendance — un espace à part, propice à la création ou à la réception, témoin d'une époque où l'art et la vie se mêlaient naturellement.

Chaque détail évoque la douceur de vivre à la française, entre authenticité et poésie. La maison demande désormais à être réinventée, mais la structure, la noblesse des matériaux et le charme du lieu sont intacts — prêts à accueillir une nouvelle histoire.

Situation idéale : gare de Louveciennes à 3 min à pied (ligne L vers La Défense et Saint-Lazare), commerces et écoles à proximité. 307 mètres carrés habitables – 1 200 mètres carrés de terrain Jardin arboré, dépendance / ancien théâtre, caves, buanderie, double garage DPE D (205) – GES D (41)

Un bien d'exception, à la lisière de Louveciennes, dans l'un des quartiers les plus recherchés de Bougival, rare par son histoire et son caractère, où l'on vient chercher plus qu'une adresse : une émotion, un lieu de vie, une inspiration

Next steps for moving to France

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

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.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
