arrondissement of Paris, near the Hôtel des Invalides esplanade
Location
The seventh arrondissement of Paris is an especially elegant area of the French capital. Here, the famous esplanade of the Hôtel des Invalides and the vast tree-lined Champ-de-Mars park lie among splendid Hausmannian facades and neatly paved roads. The property is nestled close to the heart of this vibrant district, which is historically centred around the Saint-Pierre-du-Gros-Caillou church. This delightful neighbourhood is full of exquisite restaurants, such as Divellec and Pertinence. The Musée Rodin, a fine museum dedicated to the works of the French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the Musée du Quai Branly, a fascinating museum of ethnic art, are just a stone’s throw away too. Broad, leafy avenues and the majestic River Seine edge this charming district, which stands out for its spaciousness. Prestigious schools also lie in this beautiful area of Paris.
Description
The house
The house’s comfortable interior offers a practical layout and its liveable floor area covers 345m². It is designed in a modern, elegantly understated style. On the ground floor, an inner patio beneath an entirely retractable glazed roof leads to a fully fitted kitchen with a dining area.

On the first floor, there are three spacious bedrooms with wood strip flooring. Each one has an en-suite bathroom with a lavatory.

The garden
The property’s spacious garden covers around 270m². Vivid colours and a wide range of plants, shrubs and flowers adorn this lush outdoor area where jasmine, wisteria, magnolias and rhododendrons grow. Paths have been masterfully laid out. They snake around the vegetation. The garden also includes spaces for relaxation and open-air activities, including a children’s play area. A terrace with comfortable garden furniture offers an ideal spot for sunbathing or enjoying meals outside. Plant-watering is automated. And the brightness of the outdoor garden lighting can be modulated.
