Description

Situé au cœur du quartier Saint-Louis, l’un des plus recherchés de Versailles, ce duplex de 97.19 m² Carrez (111,17 m² au sol) prend place dans un immeuble du XVIIIᵉ siècle récemment ravalé et typique de l’architecture du quartier.

L’appartement séduit par ses attributs préservés de l’ancien : parquet Point de Hongrie, moulures, cheminées et belle hauteur sous plafond, lui conférant un charme authentique dans un environnement chargé d’histoire et à proximité immédiate des rues commerçantes, des écoles et des transports du quartier Saint-Louis. Rénové en 2015 et occupant les derniers niveaux de l’immeuble récemment ravalé, l’appartement est traversant et bénéficie d’une belle luminosité naturelle grâce à l’exposition Sud du salon.

Le premier niveau développe une entrée, un beau double séjour aux volumes généreux, une cuisine indépendante, une première chambre ainsi qu’une salle d’eau avec toilettes.

À l’étage supérieur, un espace nuit distinct offre : une vaste pièce palière - pouvant faire office d’espace bureau ou de jeu - les deux chambres supplémentaires, ainsi que la seconde salle d’eau avec toilettes et coin buanderie.

L’accès se fait sans ascenseur par une agréable cage d’escaliers à marches basses. Le stationnement est résidentiel dans la rue ou dans le parking souterrain « Cathédrale Saint-Louis » à 100 m. Trois petites caves renforcent la capacité de rangement de ce bel appartement familial en bon état général. Exclusivité.

Living in Versailles

Beyond the famous palace, Versailles is an elegant, well-connected suburb with grand architecture, excellent markets, top-rated schools, and direct RER trains to central Paris in 30 minutes. It's pricier than outer suburbs but significantly cheaper than Paris proper, with a refined small-city atmosphere and plenty of English-speaking residents.

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.

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.
