steps away from the Latin Quarter’s Musée de Cluny, in Paris’s 5th arrondissement
Paris, PARIS paris 75005 FR

Location

Heavily influenced by both religion and academia, this neighbourhood occupies the historical location of the former Roman city of Lutetia, while the flat itself is situated on the rue de la Harpe, not far from the boulevards of Saint-German and Saint-Michel. As for the neighbourhood, it is known for its friendly and dynamic atmosphere, while the Luxembourg Gardens and the banks of the Seine are only eight and three minutes away on foot, respectively. In addition, the Cluny – La Sorbonne metro station, serviced by the line 10, is 40 metres away, while the Saint-Michel Notre-Dame RER B and C station is less than 200 metres away.

Description

The flat is located in a Left Bank neighbourhood synonymous with French philosophy and culture, nestled between the boulevards of Saint-Michel and Saint-Germain. In this historical sector of the capital, known as the Latin Quarter, named in honour of the period when students used Latin to communicate with one other, the 19th-century building, with five storeys, contains two flats per floor, e.g. approximately 15 units in all.
Safeguarded by an access code and an entry pass, the common areas feature meticulously maintained Paris stone, while an elegant wooden staircase leads to the third floor where the flat is located. Facing west, it includes a foyer lined with cabinets and a bedroom with built-in storage cupboards that looks out on to a peaceful interior courtyard, followed by a living room with a dining area, the latter of which is separated from the former by an atelier window fitted with frosted glass for extra privacy. In addition, a second bedroom could also be created for guests on the flat’s western side, while the open and fitted kitchen gives on to the living area.
As for the bathroom with lavatory, located between the living area and sleeping quarters, it is decorated with blue and white Greek-inspired patterns and is accessible from either side, which could turn out to be quite useful if a second bedroom is created. Featuring straight-plank hardwood floors and tall, double-glazed windows, which bathe the flat in ample sunlight, the property is sold with a storeroom on the first floor, providing additional and precious storage space.

Our opinion

Living in the Latin Quarter means immersing yourself in Paris’s vast history as well as being able to stroll its picturesque lanes, marvel at its historical monuments, and enjoy the area’s rich heritage and culture. As for the flat, thanks to its intelligent layout, it strikes the perfect balance between a peaceful and, yet, welcoming living space, while its location makes it an exceptional and rare property on the market. Without any renovations to undertake, this flat's prime location is absolutely ideal for those looking for a pied-à-terre in the heart of Lutetia.
