Arvieu, Midi-Pyrénées 12120

Located in a quiet, secluded setting with unobstructed views, this detached house offers 228 sqm of living space, 140 sqm of which was converted during its construction in the 1980s. The property includes a double garage, a boiler room, and a cellar, all situated on a 2,554 sqm enclosed and landscaped plot. Schools and shops are nearby, and the house is just 5 minutes from the beach and the port of Lake Pareloup, 30 minutes from Rodez, and 45 minutes from the A75 motorway. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall leading to the double garage, a laundry room, and a pantry, as well as access to the basement where the cellar and boiler room are located. To the left, you will find the open-plan living area with its fitted wooden kitchen, which flows seamlessly into the dining area. Beyond this, a spacious and bright entrance hall features a large bay window and a cathedral ceiling, from which a magnificent staircase leads to the upper floor. This hall provides access to a large 22 sq m living room that could easily be converted into a master suite. A sitting room with a fireplace equipped with a wood-burning insert offers cozy winter evenings while enjoying the view of nature. Completing this level are two attractive bedrooms with solid wood flooring, measuring 10.3 and 16.2 sq m respectively, a bathroom, and a separate toilet. Upstairs, 62 sq m of space awaits conversion. A hallway leads to three future bedrooms, a shower room, and a separate toilet. It should be noted that these spaces are already defined. Brick partitions are erected on the concrete floor slab, and the ceilings with insulation above them still need to be installed. However, it is still perfectly feasible to reconfigure these spaces. An independent, separate space, accessible from outside the house, comprises a bedroom with an en-suite shower room and toilet, ideal for accommodating family or friends. Adjoining this space, the possibility of creating a kitchen/living area above the garage could be explored, potentially resulting in a one-bedroom apartment. The over 2,500 sqm of land surrounding the house offers a wealth of possibilities, including dedicated spaces for children, a vegetable garden, animals, or even the option to add a swimming pool, a pétanque court, and more. This architect-designed property offers excellent potential for a family seeking a peaceful and cozy retreat, with the opportunity to personalize the layout and décor of their future haven of tranquility!
