This spacious, contemporary house sits nestled in a pine forest, in a quiet area just 2.5 kilometres from the centre Aix en Provence, with splendid views over the countryside. Aix en Provence is a lively, modern city which has retained much of its 17th and 18th century character, with its elegant mansions, squares, fountains and wide tree-lined avenues. It also hosts an international opera and music festival every summer. There is a bus stop with regular service into Aix just 300 metres from the house. Accessed by an electric gate, the garden has night lighting and there is also an alarm system in the house.
The ground floor living areas open via three sets of glass doors to a terrace with swimming pool (12.5 x 5m) fenced off for the safety of young children. The terrace is furnished for relaxing in the sun or dining outdoors under a large sun umbrella. It is a perfect place to sit with an aperitif in the evening while enjoying the magical countryside views.
The interiors have recently been renovated throughout to provide very comfortable accommodation, with large living spaces, terracotta tiled floors and walls also painted in warm terracotta colours. The living room has a stone fireplace, and is furnished with a blend of contemporary and period furniture, paintings and wall tapestries. Amenities include satellite TV, DVD and stereo. It is an ideal property for a family, wanting easy access to both the city of Aix and the surrounding countryside and villages.
