Built in 1901, this stone house is located in the heart of Saint-Jean-de-Luz, just 150 m from the beach and 500 m from the market and the harbour. Formerly the property of the National Basque Party founder, it has been entirely renovated by architect Xavier Leibar. "The contrast between old-style and contemporary interior design is rather effective", says the Kote Palais agency. "The Italian furniture can also be purchased separately." The three-story building, with a grey-stone Bilbao-style façade, offers 400 sq m of living space and an elevator. The basement hosts a fully-equipped professional kitchen. On the ground floor, a living room, with a dining room adjacent, opens on a 50 sq m patio. Seven spacious bedrooms, with private bathrooms, are located on the first and second floors. And on the 180 sq m unobstructed rooftop terrace, a pool allows for unforgettable swims in the setting sun !
