Description
Située quartier Saint-Marceau à Orléans, cette maison de ville développant 178m² habitables séduit par son harmonie réussie entre le charme d'une architecture ancienne et une extension contemporaine parfaitement pensée. À l'abri des regards, derrière une façade discrète, la maison révèle un rez-de-chaussée aux beaux volumes, où la cuisine ouverte organise avec fluidité les espaces de vie: salle à manger et double salon, dans une ambiance à la fois conviviale et moderne. De grandes baies vitrées ouvrent largement sur un jardin intimiste agrémenté d'une piscine, véritable havre de paix en pleine ville. La façade en bois côté jardin accentue le caractère singulier du lieu et lui confère un esprit maison de vacances. Le premier étage propose une organisation idéale pour la vie de famille: un palier dessert deux chambres, une spacieuse salle d'eau ainsi qu'une chaleureuse suite parentale avec une vue dégagée. Au second niveau, une chambre sous les toits vient compléter l'ensemble, offrant un espace supplémentaire plein de charme. Cette maison au caractère unique a été pensée dans les moindres détails pour allier authenticité, confort et modernité. Une cave vient parfaire ce bien.

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.
