Description
What if your next chapter began here in Gimel, in a peaceful environment where time seems to slow down?
Nestled in a residential area of the charming village of Gimel, 12 minutes from Aubonne, this small house with great construction potential invites you to dream. Set on a beautiful plot of about 694 m², it offers about 200 m² of living space.
As soon as you arrive, you can already imagine the bright mornings and the surrounding peace and quiet. Inside, the house reveals an ideal structure to rethink according to your style:
- On the ground floor, a practical space with garage, technical room, a bedroom and a bathroom
- Upstairs, the heart of the house: two bedrooms, a kitchen, a bathroom and above all a light-filled living room, open onto a balcony.
- Under the roof, spacious attics offering additional space to transform according to your needs
And then there’s the balcony... A place apart. Imagine yourself with a coffee in your hand at dawn or a glass in the late evening, facing a spectacular view of the distant Alps. A panorama that never gets old.
Outside, the land becomes your playground: cultivate your vegetable garden, let your ideas blossom, enjoy the long summer evenings under the pergola, while everything is within reach thanks to the multiple water connections. A large shed completes this space, ideal for your projects and storage.
The house has already benefited from initial renovations: partially replaced windows, renovated kitchen, new boiler (air/water heat pump), solar panels with charging station for electric vehicles, pellet stove... A solid foundation to continue shaping this place to your liking.
Today, this property is much more than a house: it is an opportunity. The opportunity to renovate and create a unique cocoon, or even to completely rethink the project with a new and larger construction.
A place where one easily projects oneself... and from which one no longer wants to leave.
Don’t let this rare opportunity pass you by.
Plan your visit and come to experience what photos can never fully convey.
