Description
Located in Aix-en-Provence, in the Bouches-du-Rhône department, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region…
This authentic 17th-century bastide has been tastefully and fully renovated, offering a peaceful and green setting just a 15-minute walk from the historic city center and all its amenities (shops, schools, bus connections to the train station and airport, highway access, etc.).
The house, with a living space of over 300m² spread across three levels, features bright and welcoming living areas on the ground floor, including a double living room and a spacious orangery with large bay windows opening onto the terrace and garden.
