2 Chemin François-Ferry

OVERVIEW:
Situated within one of Villefranche-sur-Mer’s most sought-after residences on the famous corniche, this beautifully renovated 3-bedroom apartment offers an exceptional lifestyle on the French Riviera. Perched above the glittering Mediterranean, the property enjoys commanding panoramic views over the sea and surrounding hills, offering both natural beauty and a high standard of living in a secure, peaceful setting.

The apartment spans approximately 115 m² of interior space, complemented by a vast, sun-drenched terrace of over 30 m². Thanks to its southwest exposure, the property is bathed in light from morning until sunset, with large openings enhancing the seamless flow between interior and exterior living areas.

Renovated with premium materials and finishes, this turnkey apartment is ideal for those seeking refined comfort with immediate access to all local amenities. Whether used as a main residence, a luxurious holiday home, or an investment in the Côte d’Azur’s ever-valuable property market, this rare offering combines elegance, functionality, and an unbeatable location.

THE LAYOUT:
The apartment opens into a spacious and welcoming hallway that introduces a layout thoughtfully designed to maximise both space and privacy. The heart of the home is a beautifully proportioned 40 m² living and dining room, flooded with natural light and extending directly onto the expansive panoramic terrace. This outdoor area becomes a second living room during warmer months, with space for lounging, dining, and enjoying the breathtaking sea views.

To one side of the living area is a separate, fully equipped kitchen with high-end appliances and ample cabinetry. For those who prefer a more open and modern lifestyle, there is the option to create an open-plan kitchen-living space, making the most of the apartment’s volume and natural light.

The sleeping quarters are ideally separated from the main living areas. Two bright bedrooms, each with built-in wardrobes, offer a peaceful retreat and share access to a stylish, modern shower room and separate WC. These rooms overlook the quiet interior gardens of the residence, ensuring restful nights.

The standout feature is the master suite, which offers excellent proportions, a walk-in dressing area, and a private en-suite bathroom with refined finishes. This suite provides a sense of tranquillity and separation, making it ideal for long stays or permanent living.

The apartment is equipped with reversible air conditioning in all rooms, double-glazed aluminium windows, high-speed fiber optic internet, and is fully accessible via a modern lift. A private cellar and one secure underground garage are included in the sale, with the option to acquire a second garage for €40,000 — a valuable asset in this area.

THE AREA:
Villefranche-sur-Mer is one of the crown jewels of the French Riviera, renowned for its postcard-worthy bay, colorful old town, and relaxed Mediterranean lifestyle.
