Location
In the heart of the French capital, the Marais is one of the most historically charged of Paris’ districts, its urbanisation having begun in the late 12th century. Within a short walk from the apartment, it is possible to admire the Flamboyant Gothic style of Saint-Merri church or the modern architecture of the Centre Pompidou, designed by Renzo Piano and Richard Rogers. The building, erected in the 1930s, was built on the former site of the Consul-Judges’ Court, founded in 1563 by Charles IX, which is now known as the commercial court. It is in the best-connected district in the French capital in terms of public transport. The Hôtel de Ville station, with metro lines 1 and 11, is just 170 metres away, while the Châtelet station with its various metro lines and RER line is only 400 metres away.
Description
The building was originally built in the 1930s for office space but the use of its top three floors changed approximately ten years ago. The Art Deco façade is typical of the early 20th century, thanks to its symmetry, large windows and geometrical patterns. The property is on the fourth level, where a bow-window interrupts the uniformity of the façade as well as enlarging the interior. The main entrance is situated on the right of the building. It stands out thanks to its large, double-leaf glazed door and its period ironwork. The apartment is the only one on its level and can be reached by a large staircase and spacious elevator.
The entrance door opens directly into a large, 60-m² living room. One of its sides is entirely occupied by windows which contribute, along with the light-coloured oak flooring, to the place’s brightness. A fitted kitchen with natural wood fittings matching the flooring opens out onto the living room. Two bedrooms, each with a walk-in wardrobe and en suite shower room with lavatory, open into the lounge separated by a frosted glass sliding door system, which makes it possible to obtain a feeling of increased volume or close the bedrooms for privacy. The 16-m² master bedroom stands at one end of the apartment. It has a walk-in wardrobe and a large, almost 12-m² bathroom with a lavatory. Heating is provided by a reversible heat exchange pump, which provides air conditioning in the summer.

Our opinion
This apartment is abundantly bathed in light and this impression is enhanced by the white walls, comfortable ceiling height and smart distribution of the different volumes. The property has been entirely renovated with top quality materials. It is a perfect example of successful harmony between the pared-down style of an Art Deco building and a home with modern facilities, generous storage space and an excellent energy usage rating. Overall, it boasts the characteristics of a New York workshop-apartment and could be used as a Parisian base or a main residence, in a privileged location. It could also prove to be a source of inspiration for an artist or anybody seeking a bright setting with extensive, adjustable volumes to carry out their work. The Marais is a select location, with its village atmosphere, small boutiques and cobbled streets.
