Location
This 140-m² property is situated in a building erected in the late 19th century under the supervision of Paul Abadie, the architect of the Sacré-Coeur, located in the Europe district, which is the most residential of the 8th arrondissement. It is approximately 30 minutes on foot from emblematic venues of the French capital, such as Place de la Concorde, the Champs-Élysées or Montmartre, and stands in an environment steeped in history and elegance that once inspired painters such as Monet or Caillebotte. It is very near to renowned schools, Square Marcel Pagnol or Parc Monceau, in a sector that boasts theatres and which hosts the music academy Conservatoire Régional de Musique. The apartment combines peaceful residential life with a nearby thriving cultural scene. The Liège metro station on line 13 is only 5 minutes away, while a little further away, five metro lines, one RER line and two train lines run through the Gare Saint Lazare station.
Description
The dual-aspect, northeast to southwest apartment occupies the entire left wing of the storey. The interior layout, designed to enhance the property’s fluidity and coherence, is organised around a large, approximately 19-m² corridor, with chevron patterned wood flooring and adorned with straight, gallery-style florally decorated cornices. On the southwest side overlooking the street, there is a double reception room made up of a more than 23-m² music room and a lounge of similar size, both of which can be separate from each other and the corridor. Next to them is a former bedroom that is today used as an office. Opposite, overlooking the courtyard, a more than 17-m² master bedroom echoes the office on the other side of the corridor. It is adjacent to an almost 5-m² walk-in wardrobe with a window, which was previously a shower room with a lavatory. At the end of the apartment, a large, 25-m², fully fitted and furnished kitchen serves as a veritable reception space for meals between family or friends. Following on from the kitchen, a service staircase leads to a private cellar. Lastly, a sophisticated, marble-decorated shower room with a separate lavatory can be reached from various parts of the apartment.
The period elements - such as the chevron patterned and straight wood stripped flooring, the mouldings and cornices - as well as the ceiling height of more than 3 metres confers a noble and serene atmosphere on the property, in keeping with late 19th-century architectural elegance.
Our opinion
This apartment boasts vast volumes and carefully preserved authenticity. With its period wood stripped flooring, florally decorated cast iron radiators and high ceilings adorned with mouldings, each detail is bound to meet the expectations of lovers of old-world charm. Similarly, the elegant sobriety of the modern decoration underlines the property’s timeless character, without distorting it. Overall, the apartment, despite its generous volumes, offers a cosy and intimate ambiance. It is located in a recently pedestrianised as well as tree-lined street and enjoys a peaceful and much sought after living environment, in the very centre of the 8th arrondissement.
