A Character-Filled Haussmann-Style Apartment with Terrace Between the Old Port and Notre-Dame de la Garde
Ideally located on the prestigious Rue Sylvabelle, in the heart of Marseille, this elegant dual-aspect apartment of approximately 240 sq.m occupies the first floor of a beautiful Haussmann-style building with elevator access. Nestled between the vibrant Old Port district and the iconic Basilica of Notre-Dame de la Garde, this rare property offers an exceptional blend of architectural elegance, generous volumes, and urban convenience.
From the moment you enter, the apartment reveals the timeless charm of classic French architecture. High ceilings, original moldings, large windows, and refined proportions create a sophisticated atmosphere throughout. Designed and experienced almost like a private house on a single level, the property offers remarkable flexibility and numerous layout possibilities to suit a variety of lifestyles.
A spacious entrance hall leads to the main reception areas. The elegant dining room opens onto a bright and inviting living room, followed by a second reception room that can serve as an additional lounge, library, media room, or entertaining space. These interconnected rooms create an ideal setting for both everyday living and larger gatherings.
The primary suite benefits from its own shower room with double vanity, while an independent bathroom and a separate office, which could easily be converted into an additional bedroom, complete this first section of the apartment.
At the heart of the property, a large family kitchen provides a welcoming and functional living space. Beyond the kitchen, a hallway lined with storage leads to three additional bedrooms. Quietly positioned on the courtyard side of the building, these rooms enjoy complete tranquility and direct access to a charming terrace running along the length of the apartment.
This terrace represents one of the property's most desirable features, offering a peaceful outdoor retreat where residents can enjoy Marseille's exceptional Mediterranean climate while remaining sheltered from the city's bustle.
The apartment benefits from abundant natural light throughout the day thanks to its dual exposure. Its versatile layout makes it suitable for a wide range of uses, whether as a prestigious family residence, a corporate rental, an executive home, or a refined secondary residence.
Adding to its unique appeal, the property served as a filming location for the famous French television series Plus Belle la Vie for two years, giving it a distinctive place in Marseille's cultural landscape.
The location is particularly sought-after. Within walking distance of the Old Port, renowned restaurants, cafés, boutiques, schools, and public transportation, the apartment offers immediate access to everything Marseille has to offer while maintaining a peaceful residential atmosphere.
No private parking space is included with the property; however, several parking rental options are available nearby.
