Single family villa 302 m², Labin

Villa was built in late 1980-is according to the designs of the renowned architects Jean-Pierre Gerni and Antoine Paillet and is characterised by its exceptional architectural style. With its playful roof construction, it lends the property a unique charm reminiscent of the architecture of the south of France.
 
The villa's generous living and usable space extends over 227 square metres, distributed over two floors,  and an outbuilding of 75 square metres. It has a large kitchen, dininig area, spacious living room, 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms. Furthermore, an exquisite wellness area is at your disposal, equipped with  sauna, bathtub and jacuzzi.
 
A separate outbuilding with more land behind offers an additional space which is now in the process of renovating.
 
Park-like garden surrounding the villa blends harmoniously with the character of the building. Here you will find flowering shrubs and woody plants with colourful blossoms as well as numerous old trees that provide pleasant shade in summer.
 
The heated swimming pool can be used from spring to autumn.
 
The architectural style of the villa meets the highest standards. Even the interior walls are solidly masoned, and the statics of the building were elaborately reinforced with concrete lintels and steel. This not only ensures excellent stability, but also provides effective sound insulation between the rooms and the floors. Such construction quality is rarely found today.
 
The entire technical building equipment, including electrical, sanitary and air-conditioning technology, was completely renewed in 2023 and meets the most modern standards.
