Description
In the heart of the corniche de l'Estérel,
This exceptional 340m² property has the rare privilege of direct access to the sea via a private staircase.
Built in 1930 on a rocky outcrop that cascades ochre into the sea, 20 minutes from Cannes and close to Cannes-Mandelieu airport.
Access is via a large solid wood entrance door framed by two columns supporting a frieze and pediment, and balustrades under the roof on either side.
- Ground floor:
Known as the Upper Level, comprising a large, noble entrance hall, 2 bedrooms each with bathroom and toilet, a bedroom with shower room, shower and toilet, a study with Versailles parquet flooring and a wide central corridor giving access via a staircase to the lower level.
- Garden level:
This is the main level and comprises a hallway with guest toilet, a large living room (approx. 70 m²) with fireplace and fitted bar area, a kitchen, a pantry and a room used as a dressing room.
The pantry and dressing room can be converted into a suite with bathroom.
The large living room and staircase are carpeted; the entrance hall, bathrooms, kitchen, pantry and dressing room floors are sandstone.
This level has a large terrace facing the sea (sandstone floor); a large staircase leads to a pleasure garden planted with olive trees, where there is a gazebo and a magnificent swimming pool; this pleasure garden has a balustrade.
An outside staircase leads to a second terrace on the sea side, known as the "solarium", with panoramic views; this idyllic spot overlooking the sea is an invitation to dream.
