Location
The rue d’Assas, a sought-out artery in the 6th arrondissement, located in the Notre-Dame-des-Champs neighbourhood, was named in honour of Nicolas, Chevalier of Assas, who, after dying heroically in 1760 on a battlefield in Westphalia, was celebrated by Voltaire in his writings.
As for the property, it enjoys a prime address, directly adjacent to the shaded pathways of Luxembourg Gardens, a historic green lung on Paris’s Left Bank, while this setting, much coveted for its tranquillity, boasts a bustling neighbourhood life with many shops as well as the immediate proximity of renowned schools, such as the Collège Stanislas, the Ecole Alsacienne, Notre-Dame de Sion and the Université d’Assas. In addition, the Raspail (lines 4 and 6) and Notre-Dame-des-Champs (line 12) metro stations are a little more than 400 metres away.
Description
As for the flat, located on the 2nd floor, it is accessible via a wide staircase and a lift affixed to a side wall, while a small foyer opens directly on to a living area, of nearly 40 m², whose floor-to-ceiling height culminates at more than three metres. The latter features two large windows that look out over a courtyard planted with trees, whereas the original crown moulding, pale oak chevron parquet and marble fireplace are all characteristic of the 19th century.
In addition, the functional kitchen, located nearby and modest in size, also comes with a window, while an immense bedroom is located next to a private Victorian-style bathroom, boasting a cast-iron, lion’s paw bathtub. Two bedrooms, of approximately 9 and 17 m², respectively, face a verdant courtyard and share a shower room, completely clad in small glass tiles, which provide a contemporary feel for this room, whereas the lavatory is separate and the heating is supplied by a recent condensing boiler. Lastly, a large cellar, of nearly 15 m², also comes with the flat.
