Location
This apartment lies in the historical Marais district of central Paris, in a highly sought-after neighbourhood close to many emblematic sites of the French capital, such as the famous square Place des Vosges, the art gallery Musée Picasso and the grand townhouse Hôtel d'Ecquevilly. Many shops and restaurants neighbour the property. The street Rue de Bretagne and the Marché des Enfants Rouges covered market are just a few minutes away on foot. The metro quickly takes you in and out of this district via lines 1 and 8 and many bus lines run through this area too. The prestigious schools École Massillon, École des Francs Bourgeois and Lycée Henri IV are close.
Description
The apartment is nestled in a 17th-century townhouse near the famous square Place des Vosges. With its 137m² floor area, this delightful two-level apartment is designed like a true house. You step into it straight from the inner court. The ground floor includes the reception spaces and takes up a total floor area of around 85m². A hallway links a lounge with a fireplace to a spacious dining room with an open-plan fitted kitchen and to a vaulted room that serves as a small lounge or games room. This ground floor has a ceiling height of over three metres. Smooth stone forms its flooring. Upstairs, a first space is divided into two bedrooms, which share a shower room on the ground floor. The second space is a suite with a main bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a lavatory. The property includes a cellar too. And the commonhold building has an on-site caretaker.
The townhouse
The townhouse was built for a seigneur in 1637 in the middle of the Marais district of Paris. Indeed, 17th-century noblemen prized this area of the French capital. The building has kept its main characteristics: a central U-shaped edifice that extends around a paved inner courtyard. On the street side, this court is enclosed with a pavilion with a large carriage entrance. Its elevations with rendering and exposed ashlar are punctuated with window surrounds, stringcourses, cornices with mouldings, and evenly spaced bays of rectangular large-paned windows fitted with wrought-iron guardrails with bars or volutes.
The apartment
The apartment offers a floor area of 137m². With two levels, it is designed like a true house. It is nestled within the pavilion through which the carriage entrance leads into the inner court. You enter the apartment straight from the inner court. The ground floor is dedicated to the reception spaces. The bedrooms are on the first floor. A hallway connects to a west-facing lounge with a modern working fireplace made of brick. The ceiling is more than three metres above the floor. On the other side of the hallway, there is a spacious dining room with an open-plan fitted kitchen. Workshop-style glazing fills this south-facing space with natural light. There is a small lounge or games room in a vaulted cellar that has been converted. You reach it via a stone staircase. The reception spaces offer a combined total floor area of around 85m². Smooth stone forms the flooring. You reach the first floor via one of two separate staircases. One part offers two bedrooms, which share a shower room on the ground floor. This shower room has a shower, a washbasin and a lavatory. The other part is a suite: the main bedroom, a landing, a walk-in wardrobe, and a bathroom with a bath, a washbasin and a lavatory. The current layout of the first floor separates the part with two bedrooms from the space with the main bedroom. This first floor can be fully adjusted and redesigned in accordance with your needs.
Our opinion
A Parisian townhouse is always a splendid edifice for a commonhold building, especially when, inside such a fine historical complex, there is an apartment designed like a true house. Indeed, the delightful design of this two-level apartment gives you the impression of having no neighbours at all. It is rare to find a dwelling with three comfortable bedrooms in the heart of the enchanting Marais district of Paris. And another precious asset of this apartment is that its layout can be adjusted to suit your needs. You will be enchanted by the charm of this property: its style is elegantly understated, natural light fills the interior, the design is at once practical and aesthetically appealing, and the home leads straight out into a haven of calm: a paved inner court with plants.
