Location
The street on which the property is located, straightened in the 18th century on request of the Prince of Condé for it to run in line with the Palais Bourbon, owes its name to the Duke of Burgundy (Duc de Bourgogne in French) who was the grandson of Louis XIV. It is part of an urban landscape that narrates the history of Paris, from the 18th-century townhouses to the orderly facades of the 19th and 20th centuries. In a sector that plays host to famous museums as well as major institutions of the French Republic, far from ostentatious luxury, it embodies and gives life to the refined and understated lifestyle for which the left bank of the River Seine is renowned. The address is near to several metro stations: Varenne on line 13, Assemblée Nationale on line 12 and Invalides on lines 8 and 13. All of them are only a few minutes away on foot. It is also close to many convenience stores situated on the Rue de Bourgogne and Rue Saint Dominique streets, also boasting renowned catering boutiques and gourmet restaurants.
Description
The apartment is located inside a former townhouse built in 1772 at the request of Jean Joly, command secretary for the Prince of Condé. The commonhold building, which was once the residence of Jean Joly, is set around a recently renovated cobbled street leading to a tree-lined courtyard. A gallery topped by a now unused walkway links the two wings of the edifice, at the end of which the door to the entrance hall can be found.
A comfortable staircase with oakwood steps climbs to the upper floors. The apartment is located on the third and top floor of the building. It has been recently fully renovated, with removal of partition walls producing a workshop like ambiance. Through the seven south-facing windows overlooking the total peace and quiet of the courtyard, light streams in throughout the day, while the property also boasts solid oakwood strip flooring. To the rear, a custom-made fitted kitchen equipped with appliances, stylish tap fittings and a black granite countertop was installed by a joiner. Customised, 8-metre-long bookshelves have been installed along the lower part of the wall opposite the windows. A small, discrete hallway to the left of the kitchen leads to a separate lavatory and a shower room tiled with grey veined white marble. In keeping with the character of the premises, electric but old-style cast-iron radiators provide the heating. The double-glazed windows boast wooden frames, in compliance with the protected heritage requirements for this part of Paris, and are fitted with old-fashioned style casement bolts. Lastly, the beams on the ceiling have been painted white to enable them to blend into the décor.
The apartment is sold with two cellars.
