AB Real Estate
Built in 1930, this elegant and spacious Maison de maitre is located in the heart of a small but lively village in the Durban/Narbonne area. Recent restoration works have brought the house up to luxurious modern standards, while preserving numerous elements such as art deco floor tiles throughout and original doors and fireplaces. The living area is bright and spacious and is very quiet, though shops and a restaurant are nearby. The charming south-west facing garden offers privacy and a place to relax.
