Facing Cap Ferret, Arcachon offers a rare living environment, less than an hour from Bordeaux by train. Here, daily life is shared between fine sand beaches, the oyster port and the pine forest. Cap Ferret is 30 minutes away by boat, and the Dune du Pilat is just around the corner. And the town does not fall asleep in winter: life here goes on all year round. The residence is in the Ville d'Hiver, one of Arcachon's most sought-after districts, perched on the heights among pines and villas of the XIX century. Everything is accessible without a car. Parc Mauresque is about 300 m away, and the bus stop of the same name is less than 500 m away. The station is less than 800 m away, with direct trains to Bordeaux and Paris. The seafront, its shops, restaurants and the Jetée Thiers, from where boats leave for Cap Ferret, are about 1 km away. The calm of a protected district, with the town within easy reach. At the heart of this district, Belle Époque gives new life to a former 1889 hotel, a remarkable listed building. The façade has been preserved, as has the imposing staircase. The ceiling heights are generous and the floors are solid wood parquet. The residence brings together 30 apartments and a house. Each parking space is in the basement, in an enclosed car park. 6 upmarket apartments remain, from T3 of 62 m² to T4 of 132 m². Some have a terrace, a garden or a balcony, with a view over the park. An exceptional address to live year-round or to enjoy a pied-à-terre on the Bassin. ARCHITECT'S NOTE: "The project proposes the rehabilitation of a former private mansion, emblematic of the allée du Docteur Fernand Lalesque. Through this complete rehabilitation project, we aim to recover the building's original architecture by demolishing the constructions and additions made over the preceding years. Without betraying the original construction and the identity of the place, we will strive to provide the expected comfort and standing in order to create prestige apartments."
