Built in the 1930s, Maison Bismant is an exceptional house with an assertive architectural character, whose lines and volumes are directly inspired by the prestigious Museum of Printing Antwerp. A true testimony to the architectural refinement of the inter-war period, this property impresses with its authenticity and the richness of its original elements.
Ideally located in the immediate vicinity of the tram, in the heart of a sought-after street of La Madeleine, the house enjoys a privileged location, combining residential tranquility and excellent accessibility.
From the entrance, a vast hall sets the tone. Its original floor and its remarkable architectural cap are valuable markers of the heritage of the house. This space distributes amenities and opens onto a central patio, the heart of the house, around which the reception rooms are articulated.
On one side, a superb reception lounge reveals period parquet flooring, an open fireplace, as well as an elegant bow window decorated with antique stained glass windows, offering a view of the street and generous light. A wall in Cordoba leather, a rare and particularly sought-after decorative element, enhances this space.
In the extension, a second reception room offers a beautiful perspective and direct access to the garden, inviting a harmonious continuity between interior and exterior.
The independent kitchen, equipped and comfortable, is distinguished by its functionality, brightness and direct access to the garden.
A large carved wooden staircase, the centerpiece of the house, serves the floors.
On the first floor, the distribution resumes that of the ground floor: a central gallery serves four beautiful bedrooms, all parquet floors and generous volumes. A full bathroom has double access, from the master bedroom and from the landing.
The second and last floor hosts two additional bedrooms, a bathroom, as well as a fitted kitchen, offering the possibility of arranging a second bathroom according to the needs.
A large fully insulated attic completes the whole and offers additional development potential.
The house is fully excavated and has many cellars, including a wine cellar, storage spaces, a workshop and a boiler room.
Outside, a pretty garden plot facing South / Southwest, about 500 m², pleasantly extends the living spaces.
The location is ideal: shops, transport, schools in the immediate vicinity, and Lille accessible in 5 minutes.
Very rare on the sector, combining history, elegance and potential.
