The building was erected in the 17th century in the heart of the historical Marais district. Its façade overlooking the street is classic in nature, with light-coloured rendering and wrought iron guard-rails. In its lower reaches, it plays host to shops, while the access to the residential accommodation is completely different, boasting a courtyard paved with period sandstone cobbles, bordered by elevations with half-timbering painted in celadon green. These architectural details serve as a reminder of the district’s historical heritage and produce a striking contrast with the sober façade overlooking the street. The apartment is located on the second floor and stretches over approximately 75 m². Its character is immediately evident thanks to the exposed beams and walls with half-timbering, which pay witness to the age of the building. These period features were preserved during the renovation, which also saw the addition of elements in keeping with required modern comfort. The living area is laid out around a vast reception room that is generously bathed in light. The extensive ceiling height and rhythm of the half-timbering amplify the volumes. The open-plan kitchen forms a single whole with the lounge and is resolutely modern, with its deep blue fittings and dark-coloured work top, creating a striking contrast with the white walls and warmth of the wood. The apartment boasts two bedrooms, meaning it could be ideal for a young family or could welcome an office in one of them. The windows are in keeping with the traditional Parisian residential style while also living up to current insulation standards. There is wood stripped flooring throughout and the fireplace further enhances the warm ambiance of the property. A modern shower room completes the harmonious layout of the apartment.
