L'ISLE-SUR-SEREIN – A 13TH CENTURY TOWER, FIVE BEDROOMS AND 271

Some houses have a history. This one preserves it in its walls. In the heart of L'Isle-sur-Serein, behind a discreet facade, hides an astonishing house organized around a medieval tower whose origin dates back to the late 13th century. This tower is not just a decorative element: you enter it, use it, climb its stone spiral staircase to go from one part of the house to another. It is truly part of the life of the place. Its history was even the subject of a press article dedicated to the enhancement of the heritage of L'Isle-sur-Serein. The house and the story of the renovation works started in the late 1970s to reveal stones, beams and ancient elements are featured. Today, behind these history-laden walls hides a particularly generous property: about 271 m² of living space, five bedrooms and two connected living areas. The first part, about 175 m², offers beautiful reception volumes, an open kitchen, a living room with fireplace and stone staircase, as well as three bedrooms upstairs, each with its own fireplace. Then comes the tower. Its spiral staircase leads to a second dwelling of about 93 m²: living room with fireplace, kitchen, veranda overlooking the inner garden, bathroom and two bedrooms or offices upstairs. Two worlds that communicate but can also maintain their independence: an interesting configuration to host family and friends, create a professional space or consider a hospitality activity. In addition, there is an attic of about 52 m² that can be converted, garage, workshop, woodshed, cellar, laundry room and boiler room. And contrary to what its architecture might suggest, the house is not classified as a Historic Monument. Shops, school, nursery, pharmacy, medical center and services are accessible in the village. Here, you are not just buying 271 m². You become the next chapter of a home rich with more than seven centuries of history.
