Among the historic buildings is this spacious stone house, once the village post office. It boasts a traditional stone façade, bright red shutters and red tile roof. Both inside and out, the old post office has been renovated, designed and decorated with no expense spared.

The property features a spacious outdoor courtyard fully enclosed on one side by a three-story glass wall of the house, on another side by a stone wall and on the far side by a dramatic rock face. With ample dining furniture and barbecue, it is the perfect spot for outdoor lounging and dining, protected from the wind and elements in cooler weather and from the hot sun in warmer months. If you'd prefer to take in the magnificent Luberon views, take a book or a drink up to the roof-top terrace where there is additional outdoor furniture.

Inside, the house has been renovated with the highest quality building materials and features wood beams and exposed stone. Its sophisticated modern décor includes warm honey-toned furnishings, colorful Asian carpets and an array of original works of art, both from Provence and from the owner's wide travels. And it offers every comfort and convenience, including top-notch appliances, fine ceramic fixtures, satellite television and high-speed internet access.

Entry from the street is into the open-plan living-dining room. This is a spacious room with floor-to-ceiling sliding glass windows opening to the outdoor courtyard. In the sitting area are a grouping of sofas and easy chairs near the modern fireplace. Behind is a lovely wood dining table and chairs for 12 people. Carpets and colorful art pieces accent this open and airy room.

Doorways from the sitting area lead to the kitchen with breakfast table. It is fully equipped with the best of appliances including a professional stove and stainless refrigerator. A center island and ample counters provide plenty of preparation space for cooks of all experience. Quality copper and stainless cookware along with spices and ceramics are displayed on open shelves. From the kitchen, doors open to both the courtyard and to the street.
