Maisons-Laffitte: an imperial villa in the Golden Triangle

In the department of Les Yvelines, the city of horses is nestled between the forest of Saint-Germain-en-Laye and the Seine, for the greatest happiness of those who enjoy fresh air and a calm living ambiance. Benefitting from a glorious past, since Napoleon stayed on several occasions in the château, the imperial city of Maisons-Laffitte has become noble and is the location for many prestigious villas.

A prestigious residence in the Golden Triangle of Maisons-Laffitte

Amongst the most outstanding properties, this private mansion, with a building plot large enough to welcome an individual house with 200 m² of liveable space, and a small park, is close to midtown. In the most residential district, this exceptional property offers a superb setting on a domain of 1873 m². The small white palace, from the beginning of the 20th century is up to expectations.

A very impressive decorative setting

Coming in from the garden, one discovers the majestic hall that distributes the 12 rooms, spanning a 360 m² living surface. Followed by reception rooms, a veranda and an eat-in kitchen giving out on the terrace. A handsome staircase leads to the upper floor, where one finds 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms. Frescoes, mouldings, fireplaces, a fairy tale decor—where you will be the lord of the manor.
