Overlooking the prestigious Parc Bordelais, on one of Caudéran's most exclusive and sought-after residential streets, Bordeaux Sotheby's International Realty is proud to present this elegant limestone bourgeois residence of approximately 194 sqm, offered exclusively to the market. Bathed in natural light, this rare property enjoys exceptional views over the park and offers remarkable renovation potential, providing the opportunity to restore and enhance the full elegance of its outstanding architecture.
Behind its beautifully restored limestone façade, this distinguished home has preserved all the defining features of Bordeaux's finest bourgeois residences. From the moment you enter, the generous proportions, graceful layout and beautifully preserved original details reflect the refinement of a bygone era. High ceilings, ornate moldings and ceiling roses, original parquet flooring laid in traditional herringbone and chevron patterns, marble fireplaces, authentic cement tiles and elegant wrought-iron details all combine to create an atmosphere of timeless sophistication and enduring charm.
The ground floor is centered around an impressive entrance hall leading to a bright reception room and an elegant dining room, both offering generous volumes and an ideal setting for entertaining family and friends. A short flight of steps naturally connects these living spaces to the outdoor areas, while a second level accommodates the kitchen with its pantry, a laundry room and a separate guest WC. The thoughtful layout offers exceptional potential for a contemporary redesign while preserving the home's architectural heritage and original character.
On the first floor, the principal suite enjoys a dressing room, a spacious bathroom and, above all, a private balcony overlooking Parc Bordelais, offering magnificent uninterrupted views that are exceptionally rare in Bordeaux. Two further bedrooms complete this level. One benefits from its own en-suite shower room, while the other enjoys private toilet facilities. Both open onto beautiful southeast-facing terraces, creating light-filled outdoor living spaces perfect for relaxing or entertaining.
The top floor presents a remarkable opportunity for reinvention. Currently arranged as three bedrooms and a bathroom, this generous level could easily be transformed into a spectacular primary suite, additional family accommodation, an independent apartment, home offices, a games room or creative studio, depending on the future owners' lifestyle and aspirations.
Outside, an intimate private courtyard, sheltered from view, provides a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. Easily landscaped, it could become a charming urban garden, ideal for summer lunches, evening gatherings or simply enjoying a tranquil outdoor setting. Two additional terraces further enhance the property, one of which is elegantly sheltered beneath a glass canopy, allowing year-round enjoyment while adding architectural character. Their southeast exposure ensures abundant natural light throughout the day.
The basement offers almost 50 sqm of additional space, including a wine cellar, a boiler room and extensive storage or workshop areas, providing valuable ancillary accommodation rarely found in comparable city residences.
The current owners have already completed significant exterior restoration works, including the full refurbishment of both front and rear façades, restoration and replacement of the traditional wooden shutters, renovation of the entrance door, refurbishment of the terraces and courtyard, roof maintenance including zinc work and waterproofing of the glass canopy, as well as improved attic insulation. These substantial investments provide an excellent structural foundation for the future interior renovation.
The interior now offers the opportunity to be reimagined according to contemporary standards. Updating the kitchen, bathrooms and decorative finishes will allow future owners to create an exceptional family residence tailored entirely to their own lifestyle while enhancing the authenticity and architectural elegance that make this property truly unique.
Convenient on-street parking directly in front of the house provides an additional level of everyday comfort, a valuable advantage in this highly desirable residential neighborhood.
Combining a prestigious address, outstanding views over Parc Bordelais, beautifully preserved bourgeois architecture and exceptional renovation potential, this remarkable residence represents a rare opportunity on the Bordeaux property market. It is the ideal home for those seeking to create a refined family residence in one of the city's most exclusive and enduringly desirable locations.
- What we love: one of Cauderan's finest addresses, breathtaking views over Parc Bordelais, beautifully preserved period features, multiple sun-filled terraces, exceptional renovation potential and the opportunity to create a truly outstanding family home in an unrivalled residential setting.
