Location
In the 13th arrondissement, this area’s cobblestone streets represent one of this neighbourhood’s best-kept secrets. Lined with residential no-through roads from the early 19th century, verdant and silent, they create a different kind of urban fabric – that of working and middle-class villas built near Paris’s small belt railway, which are, today, sought out for their charm and tranquillity. In addition, the Corvisart and Glacière metro stations are only a few minutes away on foot, whereas the Butte-aux-Cailles neighbourhood and its shops are within easy reach.
Description
With three floors, accessible via an interior lift, the buhrstone and brick dwelling with beige trim is set back from the street and preceded by a small garden of approximately 20 m², enclosed by wrought-iron fencing and accessible via a gate. As for its main façade, facing the street, it features two floors with windows surrounded by moulded white stone and safeguarded by ornate wrought-iron guardrails, while a glass and metal awning protects the front door from inclement weather.
Rectangular in shape, the dwelling is topped with a gently sloping roof, whereas, behind, a private courtyard extends the dwelling’s floor area and provides access to a single-storey extension that contains several rooms. With two different entrances, the dwelling is accessible from either its front door, after ascending a couple of steps, or a separate entrance, preceded by several stairs that descend directly to the garden level.

The Ground Floor
A central hallway provides access on either side to several rooms with parquet floors as well as the staircase to the upstairs level. On the right, a dining room is located next to a kitchen, whose bay window provides unobstructed views of the garden, while, to the left, a dual-aspect living room, with approximately 37 m² and a fireplace, is illuminated by two oriel windows, which provide ample sunlight for this room all day long.
The Upstairs Level
This floor features three separate rooms, all accessible from a central landing. With straight-plank parquet floors throughout, the main bedroom communicates directly with a shower room, creating a private suite, while of the two other bedrooms, one still has an ancient fireplace, a vestige of its original materials and decorative details, while an attic, accessible via a ladder, extends under the dwelling’s eaves.
The Garden Level
Immense and polyvalent, this floor features a large workshop with a bay window facing the garden, a separate room, a cellar, a small hallway and machine rooms. As for the extension, located in the back courtyard, it is accessible from this floor and includes a bedroom, a conservatory as well as a shower room with lavatory – creating a self-contained flat with a separate entrance from the street – while the courtyard, a fully private outdoor area, is a blank slate just waiting for its future occupants to transform it according to their tastes and wishes, whether that be a patio, a garden or an outdoor extension of the workshop.
Although meticulously maintained, the dwelling will require some updates in terms of its interior decor, which will thereby allow its future occupants to leave their own stamp on its sound and well-preserved spaces, whereas a parking space, included in the sale, is located in the neighbouring block of flats.
Our opinion
This freehold dwelling, whose three storeys are accessible via a lift, a rare amenity for this type of property, features a ground floor whose classical bourgeois interior, with its parquet floors and original fireplaces, exudes a certain charm, which a few updates in terms of its decor will only improve, while its upstairs level is reserved as the sleeping quarters and its garden level is dedicated to more utilitarian purposes.
As for the lift, it represents an undeniable bonus for people with reduced mobility or those who plan to live out their golden years in this dwelling, whereas without any commonhold property fees or a general assembly, this freehold property ensures complete autonomy and independence.
Whether for a professional activity, an artist or someone who simply enjoys extra space, the garden level’s independent entrance fulfils a need that few Parisian homes allow, while the courtyard, a blank slate, adds much needed breathing room and the promise of additional vegetation for the property.
