A dual-aspect Parisian apartment with a 51m² floor area on the third floor of an
edifice from 1890, in the city’s Clignancourt district beside Montmartre hill
Paris, PARIS ile-de-france 75018 FR

Location

The building stands on Rue Custine, a street made in 1867 at the bottom of the northern slope of Montmartre hill. This formerly rural spot where the hamlet of Clignancourt once was is now part of the French capital’s 18th arrondissement. The street and its surrounding roads lie on the site of the former grounds of Château Rouge – a manor that was built in 1780 then turned into a centre of nightlife in the first half of the 19th century. The neighbourhood is still highly prized among artists. It forms a vibrant backdrop. There are cafés, small shops, artisan boutiques and fine restaurants alongside theatres and cinemas. A hint of mysticism floats in the air here. The French writer André Breton, who succumbed to Nadja’s charm on the nearby street Rue Becquerel, certainly confirmed this unique ambience.

Description

The edifice lies in the Clignancourt district of Paris, not far from where a market – marché Ordener – is regularly held. You can easily reach the building from the nearby metro stops Jules Joffrin (line 12) and Marcadet-Poissonniers (lines 4 and 12). The edifice was built in 1890. Its facade is rendered and embellished plainly with stringcourses and canopies above the windows. It has six floors. The building’s entrance hall is fitted with an entry code system for security and has a floor of blue-grey cement tiles. From this hallway, an oak staircase dating back to the time of construction leads upstairs, bathed in natural light from stained-glass windows embellished with royal lions. The apartment is nestled up on the third floor. You can also reach it via a lift. The dwelling offers a 51m² floor area. It is a dual-aspect apartment that looks westwards and eastwards. So it is filled with natural light all day long. It has a radial layout. The hallway connects to a double-room lounge that has a 25m² floor area and faces the street. The hall also connects to a shower room, a court-facing bedroom, a kitchen and a lavatory. The lounge faces west and has a first section with a 12m² floor area. This section is adorned with wooden panelling. French windows lead out from it onto a small balcony, where you can admire the bell tower of Sacré-Cœur Basilica. The room also features a glazed ceramic Prussian stove embellished with lion heads. The floor is covered with chevron parquet. This space connects to a second room with a 13m² floor area. It has a door that once led to the entrance hall but that has been turned into a bookcase. This room has a mottled marble fireplace with a cast-iron back plate decorated with flaming torches. Wood strip flooring extends across this room and the rest of the apartment. The tiled shower room contains a shower cubicle and a washbasin. The pale-toned bedroom offers a 12m² floor area. A bespoke wardrobe could be made in it. The kitchen is bathed in natural light from a large window. Its tones are subtle with a grey-mottled white work surface, a stainless steel tap and pale-green cupboard doors. This kitchen is fitted with an oven, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, gas hobs, an extractor hood and a washing machine. The wood-strip flooring and parquet date back to the time of construction. And the cornices, ceiling roses, Cremona bolts and louvred shutters add to the dwelling’s historical character. The gas heating is provided on a private basis, rather than a communal basis. Both the apartment and the whole edifice, whose facade was recently renovated and whose roof is currently being repaired, have been very well maintained. The property includes a large cellar in the basement.

Our opinion

This delightful apartment is nestled in a vibrant neighbourhood of Paris with small, lush parks nearby. Its rooms are well balanced in size and its character is unmistakably Parisian. Couples, single people and even small families will find here the perfect home with some precious assets: a high position up on the third floor, an abundance of natural light and a little balcony with a picture-postcard vista. Yet the dwelling could also be your ideal pied-à-terre in the French capital, with a magical backdrop. Indeed, Montmartre hill is one of the most enchanting spots in this legendary city.
