Lauzerte, Midi-Pyrénées 82110

Beautifully restored period stone village house. Unexpectedly back on the market, here is a rare gem nestled in the heart of the historic bastide town of Lauzerte. Renowned for its weekly market, lively summer night markets, excellent restaurants, independent boutiques, and thriving arts scene, it's a place that offers an exceptional lifestyle. Lovingly and meticulously restored by its distinguished artist owners at considerable expense and with impeccable taste this elegant residence now awaits its next chapter (although it must be said that it will be heartbreaking for its current guardians to part with it). The property offers three well-proportioned bedrooms and two elegant bathrooms, as well as a sleek, modern kitchen with integrated appliances. Character features abound, including a charming fireplace with a wood-burning stove, travertine flooring, and exposed beams, all beautifully balanced with contemporary comforts. A glass door opens onto a charming private garden with an inner courtyard, tastefully landscaped with established plants, a pergola, and travertine paving, creating the perfect setting for relaxed al fresco dining. Better still, it's a garden to enjoy, not to work in. One of the most striking features is the generously sized ground-floor artist's studio, created in the former barn. This wonderfully versatile space offers endless possibilities, whether as a creative studio, workshop, or additional living space (subject to requirements). A ground-floor laundry room and toilet add further convenience, while an entrance with an electric gate provides the rare advantage of off-street parking. The accommodation is arranged over three floors, with a welcoming living room and a first master suite on the first floor, and two further bedrooms and a bathroom on the second floor, as well as access to a charming private rooftop terrace, perfect for enjoying the view and the sun. Presented in impeccable condition, the house harmoniously combines period charm with modern comfort, including double glazing, electric heating, cast iron radiators and contemporary bathrooms. Nestled in a quiet alley just minutes from the heart of the village, it's a house where you simply 'turn the key, unpack your things and start living'. Simply put if only they were all this good.
