Description
Exclusivité Victoire Immobilier - Montchat, dans une rue agréable et prisée - A 5 min à pied du Tram T3, du parc Bazin et des commerces du cours Richard Vitton.
Venez découvrir cette lumineuse maison "coup de coeur" de 45m² (44,60m2 carrez et 45,61m2 utiles) aussi charmante que rare.
Vous y découvrirez, au RDC, une pièce de vie traversante et accessible via deux entrées (une côté rue et une du côté de la cour commune intérieure de la copropriété) ainsi qu'une charmante salle d'eau avec douche à l'italienne. A l'étage se trouvent les deux chambres.
Notez que la maison a été intelligemment rénovée, qu'elle est dotée de double vitrage, de belles surfaces vitrées (fenêtres triple ventaux), d'une porte vitrée anti-effraction avec système oscillo-battant, de parquet massif, d'une chaudière gaz De Dietrich, d'une cuisine équipée (avec frigo encastré, plaque, hotte et four).
Nous pourrions vous en parler longuement mais nous nous devons de vous dire que ce genre de produit est très rare... et que le mieux serait d'appeler, sans tarder, afin de venir juger par vous-même, car les premiers à le faire seront les premiers à visiter. Référence agence : 2988B

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.
