The residence

The address is steeped in history: before its demolition in 1969, it was the site of the famous Palais Rose (pink palace), inspired by the Trianon, built for Count Boniface de Castellane and his wife Anna Gould. The architectural style and luxury of the abode meant that this townhouse was the most accomplished in the capital. It was the venue for the sumptuous festivities that marked the beginning of the 20th century, to which the world's rich and famous were invited.
In 1974, the Danish architect Henrik Lassen completed a luxurious residence replacing the Rose Palace. The complex is modern. The predominantly horizontal lines conceal two interior gardens and a succession of terraces. On either side are the townhouses that form the residence. Further on, another of his buildings, of more classical design, rises twelve storeys.
A stately iron gate leads to a walkway crossing one of the gardens, and red-carpeted steps descend to a glazed patio. The decor is striking, with a mix of coloured carpets, backlit dark wood panelling, tinted ceiling mirrors and curved glass panes outlining the patio. There is a 24-hour caretaker service with a reception desk, as well as a team providing security and other services. The facades have recently been renovated, and the communal areas are currently being refurbished. The other commonhold owners include some of the world's leading CEOs and members of royal families. At one time, Jacques Dutronc and Françoise Hardy also lived here.

The flat

Like a townhouse, it has no neighbours and is extremely peaceful and hidden from prying eyes. The floor area (under Carrez law) is roughly 208 m². A double entrance door opens onto a hallway with a coat closet and office area on the first floor. From here, a staircase leads to the upper floors, where a dining room meets an open-plan kitchen with all fixtures and fittings.
On the upper level, a large sitting room opens onto a tiled terrace overlooking a quiet street. On the other side of the landing, the master bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and open-plan bathroom, complete with bathtub and shower, overlooks the shared gardens.
On the third level, a guest bedroom with adjoining shower room opens onto a balcony that also enjoys the views over the green spaces of the building. On the street side, two bedrooms with a large balcony share a bathroom.
The three levels of the flat are served by an internal lift and a staircase. The bright spaces have a contemporary feel and feature large openings, a predominantly white and grey decor, comfortable volumes and an airy layout.
Finally, there are a utility room in the basement that could be used as a games room, a shower room and a laundry room.
