Stepping into this house is like travelling back in time, to the early days of Art Nouveau. BARNES Yvelines is exclusively handling the sale of this villa, which features in many architectural history books.<\/h4>\n

Push open the gate of La Hubloti\u00e8re and you'll find yourself in freefall into a history book. This time capsule in Le V\u00e9sinet was the very first Art Nouveau villa designed by architect Hector Guimard. The various owners over the decades should be applauded for keeping this truly unique jewel intact since its construction in 1896. And so should the current owners, for returning it to its original splendour. They have spent years travelling across France to find antiques and artworks to display in this magnificent setting.<\/p>\n

The front fa\u00e7ade alone deserves an architectural dissertation on its elegant symmetry. As for the rear fa\u00e7ade, it's quite the opposite - playing on asymmetry, with the staircase windows daringly framed on the bias.<\/p>\n
