| Set in spacious grounds, this modern home has been built in the finest Provençal tradition using all authentic materials. Pale green shutters and a tile roof set off the facade of honey-colored local stone. Surrounding the house is a natural garden with olive, cypress, pine and poplar trees, lawn and pretty swimming pool with covered terrace and dining furniture.
Adjacent to the house is another gravel terrace with teak dining table and chairs. From the terraces and pool, there are lovely views of Roussillon, the countryside and out to the Luberon mountains. Inside, the house has been designed with quality materials, fixtures and appliances. Provençal decor features terra cotta tile floors, heavy wood-beamed ceilings, light walls and stylish contemporary furnishings. A stone arch off the entry leads to the spacious open-plan living-dining room with cathedral beamed ceiling. Two beige upholstered sofas are grouped around a small coffee table in front of the stone fireplace. Completing the sitting area are rattan chairs, occasional tables and lamps, and two sets of French doors open to the gravel terrace. Behind is the dining area with rectangular glass-topped table and upholstered cane chairs. Nearby and to the right of the entry is the country kitchen with traditional wood and plaster ceiling, wood cabinets, fireplace and round wood breakfast table. French doors also open from here to the gravel dining terrace. There are a total of 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. One bedroom is located on the ground level off the dining area with a bathroom and separate toilet facilities on the entry hall. The other two bedrooms, including one with two regular twin-sized bunks, are upstairs along with another full bathroom. All of the bedrooms boast colorful bedcovers and curtains, antique chests or armoires. The bathrooms feature lovely painted tilework. An appealing home in the heart of the Luberon with easy access to all the sights of Provence. |
