The duplex is located in one of the preserved parts of the former abbey. Access is via a porch, which opens onto a tree-lined entrance area paved with Napoleon cobblestones. The commonhold comprises four small two- to three-storey buildings with flat-tiled roofs and plain, light coloured rendered stone facades, punctuated by exposed structural elements and evenly spaced, rectangular windows. The shared areas, with their traditional terracotta-tiled floors, are meticulously maintained.
The flat is located on the second and third floors of the building, with the entrance opening onto a large living room flooded in natural light, followed by a kitchen, a study and the main master bedroom. The upper level contains two bedrooms with sloping ceilings and a bathroom. The layout was designed by an interior architect, with seamless spaces and plenty of storage space. Bathed in light thanks to its triple aspect, the property is also very quiet, as it overlooks a courtyard planted with trees.

The flat

First level
After passing through the large gate opening onto the street, a wide wooden staircase leads from the small leafy courtyard up to the property. The landings serving the upper floors are of period terracotta tiles. On the second and top floor, the reinforced entrance door to the flat opens onto a double living room, a vast space with solid oak flooring. Four double-glazed windows illuminate the space. They face south and north and are protected by external blinds. The living area comprises a large sitting room, a dining room and an office area, benefiting from an abundance of natural light from both sides.
A magnificent wood and iron staircase, designed by a film set decorator and finely crafted like a piece of art, is the main decorative feature of the flat. The walls are lined with bookshelves. Following on from the dining room is the kitchen. Bright and well-equipped with quality appliances, it features a slate-tiled floor and a moveable island with plenty of storage space. There is a study opposite the kitchen, partitioned off by a wrought-iron and glass wall. This space is lit by a north-facing window.
The master bedroom is on the south side of the flat. This large bedroom features a spacious storage cupboard, solid oak flooring and two large windows. The adjacent bathroom is accessed through a wooden door. The bathroom includes a large tub, a shower and a washbasin. The flooring is of white tiles, and a large number of wooden storage units line the walls. A south-facing window provides natural light. There is also a separate lavatory followed by additional storage space.
Second level
The upper level is reached via the elegant staircase, the top of which is protected by a wooden landing with balustrade. There are two bedrooms on this storey, as well as a games area, plenty of storage spaces and a shower room with washbasin and toilet. Light floods in through a series of skylights located all along the subdued storey, where waxed concrete walls have been given a harmonious patina. The upper floor can easily be adapted to a different configuration, if required.
