Location
The edifice lies near a crossroads full of shops where the streets Rue de la Tour and Rue de la Pompe cross paths. This vibrant spot is not far from the town hall of the 16th arrondissement. The private road on which the building stands bears the name of the famous sculptor Auguste Rodin. It was given this name when it opened in 1930 on the grounds of a convent. The buildings here are typical of the architectural style of the 1930s, with elegant communal areas and spacious rooms. Indeed, the edifice fully reflects the interwar period with a geometric facade and plain ornamentation, brought to life with oriel windows and protruding sections. The private road is kept secure with an imposing gate and a team of caretakers. The metro station Rue de la Pompe is just a two-minute walk away. And the public park Bois de Boulogne, an oasis of greenery for western Paris, is only a five-minute stroll from the property.
Description
You enter the private road via a remarkable wrought-iron gate. The communal areas beyond the entrance door eloquently bear witness to the intentions of the architects who designed this fine edifice: remarkably spacious interiors where your gaze is drawn far. There is ornamentation here, but its style is understated. The communal areas, including two stairwells, were recently renovated. The apartment lies up on the fourth floor. It is a dual-aspect dwelling. The bedrooms face east and the reception rooms face south-west. The entrance leads into a high-ceilinged triple-space reception room that covers more than 120m². Its lines are straight, its corner windows rounded, its decorative mouldings plain and its herringbone parquet well made. Beyond it, there is a kitchen, which is cleverly positioned to face the reception space. This kitchen is designed to be convivial and family-oriented. To the left of the entrance hall, a corridor connects to the bedrooms. There are two bedrooms that each have an en-suite bathroom and lavatory. There is also a master bedroom that is isolated from the other two bedrooms and offers a view of the Eiffel Tower. The master bedroom has an adjoining walk-in wardrobe. The materials are of high quality and the apartment is in excellent condition. The property includes two cellars and a parking place.
Our opinion
This remarkable art deco apartment, up on the fourth floor of its edifice, is typical of 1930s architecture. It would delight any lover of spacious interiors. The dwelling is bathed in natural light and offers a smooth layout. It would be the perfect family home, yet with its vast reception rooms it would also be ideal for hosting guests. Moreover, it would be easy to transform it according to your needs or wishes.
