A medieval-style edifice built in 1883 stands beside a gravel courtyard surrounded by walls. Its elevations of exposed stonework give the impression of an old chateau. This characterful house is nestled in Viroflay's Ville-aux-Bois district - a highly sought-after neighbourhood. The U-shaped dwelling needs to be renovated. It has a ground floor and a first floor. The house has stained-glass Gothic windows in large pointed arches, some panes of which are separated with mullions of finely carved wood. Stone sculptures with religious or heraldic motifs dot the elevations above the doors and windows. Wrought-iron embellishments, weathervanes and stylised crenels give the roof charm and underline its medieval appearance. The main facade is punctuated with a series of semicircular arches with antique columns. This series of arches recalls a portico. In the middle of the facade, there is a large main door beneath a finely carved tympanum fanlight that marks the edifice's formal entrance. Two stone sphinxes - effigies of women from France's belle époque - lie in front of the entrance door. They symbolise power and majesty. The courtyard has been very well maintained. Neatly trimmed box hedges run around it. With its elevations of exposed stonework and its French formal garden, this secret dwelling tucked away in absolute privacy is a unique combination of splendour and cosiness. It currently offers a liveable floor area of 200m², spread out over an entrance hall, a dining room, a
