A Sunlit Sanctuary Where Marseille Whispers to the Sky

Perched like a secret between earth and heaven, this 1894 jewel of Château Gombert unfolds its quiet magic—where golden Provence light spills through skylights and south-facing windows, painting every corner in warmth. Here, time moves differently. The moment you cross the threshold, the house embraces you with its effortless grace: a marriage of heritage bones and modern whisperings, where original charm dances with reversible air conditioning’s gentle hum and electric shutters that glide shut at dusk like a lover’s eyelids.

The heart of the home beats in the luminous living spaces, where the kitchen—sleek, fully equipped—flows into a dining area alive with the promise of long, wine-soaked evenings. Beyond, the living room basks in an ever-changing canvas of sunlight, its south-facing windows framing views that stretch toward the village’s rooftops and the wild blue yonder. Tucked discreetly nearby, an office nook waits for quiet inspiration, while the laundry room stands ready, a testament to thoughtful design where even the practical feels like poetry.

Ascend the staircase to a sanctuary of rest: three bedrooms, each a cocoon of tranquility, served by a bathroom where marble and modern fixtures sing in harmony. But the true enchantment lies outside. Step from the living room onto the sun-drenched terrace, where a pergola casts lace-like shadows over a 10-meter pool—your private mirror to the Provence sky. Here, beneath the dappled shade or stars, you’ll linger with a pastis in hand, the scent of lavender and warm stone rising around you. At the rear, a second garden space holds potential: a removable shed stands as a blank canvas, ready to become a studio, a greenhouse, or a hidden retreat for afternoon reveries.

This is more than a house; it’s a pause in the rush of the world. Just minutes from the soulful rhythm of Château Gombert’s village life—where bakeries perfume the morning air and the Mediterranean hums in the distance—yet worlds away in its serene elevation. Every detail, from the skylight’s celestial glow to the air conditioning’s silent embrace, has been curated for a life of effortless elegance. Come, let the light guide you home.
