Built in 1907 in an architectural style typical of this era, characterised by regular vertical windows, wrought-iron guardrails and decorative, but simple and stately cornices, the property is accessible from the street via a wooden door, which opens on to the building’s entryway with cement floor tiles. A small staircase with a wrought-iron bannister leads to the private mansion’s entrance, now divided into smaller flats, which opens on to an immense entrance hall with a mosaic-patterned parquet floor and vast proportions. The latter includes a majestic wooden staircase and an atelier window framed by trompe-l’oeil décor, demonstrating the sumptuous era in which the building was constructed, a time characterised by the industrial and commercial rise of the Phocaean city.
Accessible via both a main and service entrance, which open on to the flat’s lower floor, from the shared entrance hall, double doors open directly on to the living room, of more than 37 m², boasting ceilings painted with delicate floral patterns, wooden parquet panel floors, featuring a geometrical motif that reflects the light, as well as tall, arched small-paned original windows, which open on to a tiled patio, of more than 53 m².
As for the open fitted kitchen, with terracotta floor tiles and giving on to the living room, it is located behind a bar, whereas a hallway leads to a bedroom, of more than 13 m², with wide-plank parquet floors, an adjacent shower room, wardrobe and lavatory, as well as the service entrance.
From the living-dining room, a spiral staircase descends to the garden level, which provides access to the courtyard via a hallway, where a second bedroom is located, of more than 15 m², with a bathroom and lavatory, while, the flat’s parking place, accessible from the street via an automatic gate and located in front of a door that communicates with the duplex via the courtyard, is large enough to park two vehicles, one behind the other.
