Set in the heart of the historic town of Mayenne, this remarkable Belle Époque residence combines period grandeur with comfortable modern living. Rich in architectural detail and beautifully maintained throughout, the property offers elegant reception rooms, original features, landscaped gardens and versatile accommodation, including an independent apartment ideal for guests, extended family or rental potential.

From the moment you arrive, the house makes an impression. The former carriage entrance, framed by four carved stone statues representing the Four Seasons, leads into a grand entrance hall beneath impressive double-height doors and a striking façade that immediately reflects the character of the property.

On either side of the entrance hall are the principal reception rooms. The formal dining room (20m²), with its bespoke floor-to-ceiling cabinetry and large windows, is both refined and welcoming - ideal for entertaining or family gatherings.

The fitted kitchen (20m²) blends beautifully with the style of the house, combining handcrafted oak units with modern worktops and views over the garden. A separate utility room (11.56m²) and walk-in pantry provide practical additional space.

The elegant main salon (25m²) features original wooden floors, decorative coving and finely carved woodwork, while the adjoining sitting room (24m²), with its marble fireplace and access to the terrace, offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Beyond this, the garden room (20m²) overlooks the lawn and flower beds, creating a peaceful space to relax throughout the seasons.

A magnificent hand-carved staircase rises to the first floor.
The principal suite is a luxurious retreat (25m²), complete with dressing room, panelled walls and an ensuite bathroom (12.70m²) finished in striking black marble with gold accents, shower and WC.

This floor also offers three further double bedrooms, all full of character. Two share a stylish Jack-and-Jill shower room with Italian walk-in shower (5.79m²)and marble flooring, while the fourth sits beside an additional shower room. A spacious office (11.40m2) completes this level.

The second floor forms a self-contained apartment, ideal for independent guest accommodation or income potential. It includes an open-plan lounge, kitchen (34m²) and dining area, two large double bedrooms (12.75m² and 13.12m²), a shower room and separate WC.

One of the most unusual features of the house is the former cinema room (55.43m²), complete with acoustic ceiling, built-in screen and original flooring. This flexible space could equally serve as a music room, studio, home cinema, yoga space or artist’s workshop - perfect for bringing people together while still allowing privacy within the apartment.

The basement, once the original kitchen of the house, retains its granite fireplace and traditional tomette floor tiles. Here you will also find not one, but two atmospheric wine cellars with earth floors and vaulted brick ceilings providing ideal natural conditions for wine storage.
Additional basement rooms include storage areas, a workshop and the chaufferie housing the De Dietrich boiler. An old built-in safe remains hidden within the cellar wall — perhaps still guarding a secret or two.

Outside, the landscaped walled garden has been thoughtfully planted with mature trees, classical statues and a calming water feature. Several terraces provide sunny spots for outdoor dining or quieter corners to unwind.
The heated double garage (45m²), accessible directly from the house, comfortably accommodates two vehicles and could also be adapted as a gym, studio or workshop space.

Located in Mayenne’s sought-after historic quarter, the property is surrounded by elegant period homes, cobbled streets and riverside walks. Shops, cafés, restaurants and the weekly market are all within walking distance, while the surrounding Mayenne countryside offers beautiful scenery and outdoor activities close by.
