Location
Place Joffre stands between the magnificent perspective of the Champ-de-Mars and the imposing façade of Ecole Militaire, a major work of the architect Ange-Jacques Gabriel. It is a setting that combines the splendour of 18th-century architecture and the charm of the flowerbeds as well as foliage of one the biggest parks in Paris. In addition to such appeal, there are also the lively and elegant avenues of the seventh arrondissement, such as Avenue de la Motte-Picquet or Avenue de Suffren, whose amenities - public transport, shops and schools - ensure comfortable daily life. At the corner of Avenue de Suffren and Place Joffre, there stands a stone building constructed in 1930, with mouldings soberly adorned with Louis XVI style patterns: carved stone cartridges, pilasters, balusters, cornices and modillon cornices, among others. The apartment is located on the seventh floor of an eight-storey building and thus boasts a panoramic view of Paris. It faces southeast and southwest, meaning it enjoys the sunshine throughout the day.
Description
This 172-m² apartment is the only one on its level and is surrounded by a narrow balcony with stone balusters, which thrice widens to provide three terraces overlooking the roofs of Paris. It boasts the generous volumes characteristic of Haussmannian era residential architecture, with ample reception rooms and impressive ceiling heights. It is also adorned with Haussmannian decorative attributes: mouldings, marble fireplaces and Herringbone wood flooring. A double-leaf door opens into an entrance of noble proportions that leads into 63 m² of reception rooms. Light streams through five tall and wide windows into these rooms, one of which is at the building’s corner, which stand out thanks to their elegance, brightness and exceptional views. The reception rooms are located between two separate zones dedicated to family privacy: on one side there is a suite made up of a bedroom, an en suite bathroom, a lavatory and a hallway converted into a wardrobe; on the other side, two bedrooms share a bathroom and a second hallway fitted with cupboards and wardrobes. A pleasant kitchen and a utility room complete the layout of the apartment. From the kitchen, a door opens onto an outside landing served by a service elevator. This property also benefits from two cellars in good condition.
Our opinion
This apartment boasts a rare combination of advantages: a prestigious vista, opposite one of the most emblematic monuments of classical architecture; a location in the heart of a both elegant and lively district; a dominant position at the top of a building full of character, providing it with spectacular views and remarkable brightness; plus generous volumes and an optimal layout.
This property will no doubt be given the renovation it deserves by future occupants, refurbishing the bathrooms as well as lavatories and refreshing the interior decoration. Furthermore, if they wish, the apartment’s structure means it is possible to create a fourth bedroom, confirming the family purpose of a property whose spacious and welcoming reception rooms could also make it equally suitable for use as a reception apartment.
