An exceptional place where heritage and potential meet: a 1925 building to be restored, bathed in light and overlooking the Mediterranean. Just minutes from the city center, in a sought-after residential area, in a dominant position within a gated and peaceful estate, this manor house built in 1925 captivates with its authenticity and timeless charm. Steeped in history, it embodies the elegance and refinement of early 20th-century homes. Its elegant architecture, its stone-encrusted facade and its generous volumes give it a unique artistic look, emblematic of the beautiful houses of the 1920s. Developing approximately 514 m2 of living space, it is situated on a beautiful plot of 3,410 m2, magnificently wooded, sheltered from view and offering a true haven of greenery. Built on four half-landings, the property enjoys panoramic sea views from most of the rooms as well as from the garden. Upon entering, a magnificent central staircase connects the floors and forms the centerpiece of the house, harmoniously structuring the spaces and highlighting the impressive ceiling height. The reception rooms comprise two adjoining living rooms and a dining room, creating a vast living space of 108 m2, complemented by two kitchens with pantry facilities. The residence has nine bedrooms, including a superb master suite with terrace and sea view, as well as several shower rooms and bathrooms. Some rooms are accessible via hidden passages, remnants of the original layout and a discreet nod to life in the manor houses of yesteryear. The top floor now houses a vast, light-filled office, formerly an artists' studio. An inspiring space opening onto a spectacular terrace overlooking the Mediterranean. The property also includes several outbuildings, a cellar, a double garage and outdoor parking spaces. The landscaped garden, rich in Mediterranean species, houses superb cascading pools once dedicated to fish farming, which could be put back into operation to regain their original charm. A 10 x 4 meter swimming pool completes this green setting, which is currently awaiting maintenance and redevelopment work to restore it to its full splendor. Renovation work is planned to restore this exceptional residence to its former glory and prestige. Rare on the Vence market, this property offers a unique living environment, combining panoramic sea views, absolute calm, proximity to the city centre and the authenticity of an early 20th century manor house.
