The upper ground floor comprises lovely reception rooms, including the entrance hall, porch, spacious living room with 18th century fireplace, library and dining room.

This property, built in 1971 on flat land totalling 4,222 m2, was renovated and enlarged in 2001, using exclusive, most tastefully chosen materials to achieve a very comfortable and stylish living space. The high ceilings feature beautiful mouldings. All the floors in the reception area, entrance hall and terrace are in marble. There is oak parquet flooring throughout the night area.

A garden house with barbecue, beautifully wooded garden and the beautiful grounds with dressed-stone walls complement this property nicely.
