L'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue is renowned as one of the antique centers of France, second only to Paris. It offers an array of shops, galleries, cafés, restaurants and an extraordinary Sunday open-air market, celebrated throughout the region. And if you're looking for a house where you can settle into life in this quintessential Provençal town, your search is over.

A short walk from the center of l'Isle-sur-la-Sorgue, this 19th-century property boasts special charm. Behind a sober façade and high stone wall, a delightful garden and swimming pool await you. The garden features vine-arbored terraces with outdoor dining furniture, a natural lawn, cypress, mulberry, weeping willow trees and other flowering plants and vines. It's your own private oasis just steps away from the center of town with all services, shops, cafés and restaurants.

The two-story house has been well renovated and features casual contemporary furnishings with French country antique accents. And there are all comforts and conveniences including high-speed internet access.

A long entry hall provides access to all the downstairs rooms and opens to the garden and pool at the far end. To the right is a spacious living-dining room with large windows overlooking the garden and pool. In the sitting area, an upholstered sofa and two easy chairs are grouped around a wood coffee table by the marble fireplace. Behind by the windows is the dining area with round wood table and chairs for 8 people. A painted china chest, wood etagère with antique pieces, occasional tables, lamps and original art make this an appealing room.

To the left of the entry is the fully equipped kitchen with professional stove, black wood cabinets and cream-colored walls. There is plenty of counter space for cooks of all levels as well as a zinc-topped table in the center providing extra preparation space. Also on this level are a laundry room-pantry, den with television and toilet facilities.

There are a total of 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms are upstairs on the second floor and are accessed by two staircases. The bedrooms are decorated with lovely bedcovers, curtains, wood side tables, chests and provide ample wardrobe space. The bathrooms include tiled showers or tubs, sinks and toilet facilities.

One of the queen-bedded rooms is a suite with tub-shower, large designer sink and toilet. This bed is convertible to twins. The other queen bedroom has its own full bathroom with clawfoot tub and shower-curtain surround adjacent on the hall. A double bedroom with four-poster bed also has its own bathroom adjacent on the hall. It is equipped with tub, vessel sink and toilet. Further along the hallway are two more bedrooms. One has a double bed and pretty painted armoire. The other is a spacious room with queen poster bed, antique chest and tables. These two rooms share a small bathroom with shower, sink and toilet.

A home with a charming garden, ideally situated for experiencing life in a Provençal town and exploring all the best of the region.
