Description

A VENDRE Villefranche sur Mer, Av du Soleil d'or. Copropriété des années 70 clôturée dans un parmi les plus grands parcs privatifs du secteur, le parking se situant à l'entrée de la propriété, aucune voiture ne peut passer devant l'immeuble qui est entouré par la végétation. Au sein de ce cadre idyllique nous proposons un appartement de type deux pièces au 3ème étage desservi par deux ascenseurs. Il se compose d'une belle entrée, d'un séjour, une grande chambre, une cuisine, une salle de bains et un WC. Les deux pièces principales ouvrent sur une terrasse de 15m2. L'état intérieur est très bon, les propriétaires actuels ayant souhaité le préserver dans son style d'origine. Mais ce que nous proposons avec ce bien, ce qui le rend unique c'est surtout le droit à une vue de carte postale, probablement une des plus belles de la rade de Villefranche. Déjà de l'intérieur mais surtout de la terrasse la vue est simplement à couper le souffle. Un tableau vivant encadré par des pins parasol. Côté pratique, un parking privatif et une cave complètent le bien. Un rêve !

Living in Villefranche-sur-Mer

One of the most beautiful small towns on the French Riviera, with a deep sheltered harbor, pastel-colored waterfront, and Nice just 10 minutes away by train. It's expensive for its size but cheaper than neighboring Monaco or Cap-Ferrat. The pace is relaxed, the Mediterranean climate is ideal, and there's a long-established international community dating back centuries.

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.
