This Belle Époque manor house is located just steps from the old town of Grasse, famous for its perfume museums. It is a well-preserved example of bourgeois residential architecture from the turn of the century, built for a Master Perfumer of the city. To the east, views open over the rooftops to the wooded hills of the hinterland.

The staircase, with Carrara marble steps, wrought iron balustrade and painted dome, forms the heart of the house. The ground floor displays a succession of reception rooms: living room and lounge, with 3.25 m ceilings, original Herringbone parquet flooring, stucco moldings and marble fireplaces, opening onto the garden. The kitchen, with terracotta tile flooring, completes this level. The ashlar stone façade, wrought iron balcony and green shutters — covered with bougainvillea in summer — carry the charm of the turn of the century outward, while the interior is already modernized.

The first floor comprises three suites with 3.25 m ceilings, each with private bathroom, including one with original Art Deco tiles. A boudoir and dressing room complete this floor, with two balconies opening to the outside. The second floor offers two rooms, a bathroom and a terrace with panoramic views.

The enclosed garden suits those who appreciate urban living — old town, markets and daily life in Grasse just steps away. The basement includes two fitted workshops — currently used as a recording studio/music control room for films — as well as laundry room, wine cellar, pantry and boiler room with external access, which could become an independent space.

The current owner has completely renovated the house: heating, air conditioning, bathrooms, electrical systems, staircase, cellar and kitchen all redone — house ready to live in. Furnishings may be negotiated. Those who appreciate this character find in Grasse a way of life that neighboring villages cannot offer: a residence born from the prosperity of perfume.
