From earliest times, Beaune has lived by its wines. It is therefore no surprise to learn that this town house, grouped around three sides of a garden with a 17th c well and three splendid mature trees, was once a wine-maker's domain. From the street massive wooden doors open into a first small courtyard : to either side a large reception room with fine original features, plus a recently added WC and waiting room - from which it will be clear that these street-side rooms have been rented out as doctors' or lawyers' professional premises. The floor above, reached by a magnificent carved wooden staircase, has been made into studios for rent. This entire section is designed for rental, and brings in a sizeable income. But from the small courtyard a second grille opens into the main house, set back from the street and entirely private. The main dwelling has recently been renovated : with their large doors and high windows opening onto the garden, the salon with flagstone floor and exposed beams, the dining room with terracotta floor-tiles and the contemporary kitchen are three substantial rooms of real distinction. From the entrance hall with its cloakroom/WC stairs lead up to three bedrooms and a bathroom, where the high standard of renovation has been maintained. Gas central heating throughout. From the entrance hall a door leads to another part, which might be a separate dwelling, since it has its own independent access from the garden. Built above huge wine cellars, this is a recent kitchen, dining room with a nice 19th c fireplace and parquet floor, bedroom and bathroom/WC, plus a substantial attic. At right-angles to the main house, and forming the third side of the property, a huge barn with splendid carved stone entrance. It is used as garage and storage area, but a corner of it was made by a previous owner into a sauna. The central part has a lovely high carved ceiling, and cries out to used for wine-tastings or summer meals. In all, a property of great charm, private, with a good rental income from the streetside building, but in the very centre of Beaune. And that makes it a rarity.
