Location
The modest hamlet of La Ville de l’Évêque, devoted to farming, was granted to the Bishop of Paris by King Dagobert I. In 1429, a chapel dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene was built there. The village’s expansion, boosted in particular by the development of the Grand Cours - known today as the Champs-Élysées - required adaptation of the hamlet’s size. The village was assimilated into the City of Paris in 1722 and this also marked the beginning of the Madeleine Church’s construction. In 1806, Napoleon I planned on having a Parthenon like temple built there to celebrate his Great Army. However, such plans instead turned to the construction of the Arc de Triomphe. La Madeleine, with its antiquity inspired columns and lack of a bell tower, almost became the French capital’s first railway station, but was returned to Catholic worship. The Madeleine district can be found between the Opera, Place de la Concorde and Tuileries gardens, a short distance from the Champs-Élysées. It is a centre-point at the intersection of Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré and a road descending from Montmartre to the River Seine. The mixture of luxury and art boutiques, plus the proximity of theatres and major Parisian stores, steeped in a sophisticated and festive lifestyle, lend themselves to the unique identity of the district, in keeping with its prestige. The building in which the property is located is very close to the Madeleine station (on metro lines 8, 12 and 14) as well as the Havre-Caumartin station (on lines 3 and 9).
Description
This Louis-Philippe style building, whose facade has been entirely renovated, is located in the Madeleine district not far from the eponymous square and is located in a private courtyard with secure code and badge access. The almost 75-m² apartment is centrally situated, near to many bus and metro lines as well as a short walk from emblematic sites of the French capital. It occupies the sixth storey, which is the top floor, and can be reached via the stairs or an elevator. Through the landing, boasting period terracotta floor tiles, there is a fully renovated apartment. The light oak coloured wide and straight wood stripped flooring combined with matt white coloured rendered walls, the impressive ceiling height with period exposed beams, as well as the presence of a fireplace with a cast-iron facade and red-brick hearth enhance the warm atmosphere of the premises. It is bathed in light throughout the day through three windows which face south, east and west. Combined with an uninterrupted view of the Parisian roofs, the apartment gives an impression of living in a timeless venue. An almost 3-m² entrance leads, to the right, into an approximately 9-m² fully fitted and furnished kitchen and, to the left, to an open-plan, dual aspect space including an around 16-m² dining room merging into an almost 21-m² lounge. The property boasts two bedrooms of a little more than 10 m² each that are bathed in light. One of them can be reached from the lounge and is separated by a workshop type glass wall with frosted windows, supplemented by thick curtains, ensuring privacy. It boasts sufficient space for the installation of a custom-made wardrobe. The second bedroom is set back slightly and has cupboards along the walls from top to bottom. The approximately 4-m² shower room boasts a walk-in shower, cupboards and a window. A separate lavatory and a utility room complete this property, which is heated by electric radiators. During the renovation, space was set aside to house a future installation of an air-conditioning system. The property also boasts a vast cellar.
