Description
The apartment, with a 164m² floor area, is nestled in a 17th-century townhouse near the famous square Place des Vosges. This two-level apartment is designed like a 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 vast dining room with an open-plan fitted kitchen, as well as 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. Up on the first floor, there is a space that includes two bedrooms, which share a shower room on the ground floor. A second space up here includes the main bedroom, a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom with a lavatory. A self-contained studio apartment offers a 22m² floor area. This studio apartment includes a main room, a small kitchen and a shower room with a lavatory. It could be linked to the main apartment. The whole dwelling has an adjustable layout that could be redesigned to suit your needs. 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. This court is enclosed on its street side with a pavilion with a large carriage entrance.
The apartment
The apartment offers a floor area of 164m². It is nestled within the pavilion through which the carriage entrance leads into the court. The dwelling is designed like a house and you enter it straight from the paved inner courtyard. The ground floor is dedicated to reception spaces and the first floor offers bedrooms and a studio apartment that could be linked to the main dwelling or remain separate and self-contained, as it is today. You reach this studio apartment via the communal areas and the main staircase. A hallway connects to a west-facing lounge with a working fireplace. The ceiling is more than three metres above the floor. On the other side of the hallway, there is a vast 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 comfortable 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 includes the main bedroom, a landing with a walk-in wardrobe, and a bathroom with a bath, a washbasin and a lavatory. The self-contained studio apartment offers a 22m² floor area. This studio apartment includes a main room, a small kitchen and a shower room with a shower, a washbasin and a lavatory. The current design of the first-floor layout 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 you enjoy an apartment designed like a true house in such a fine historical complex. 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 gem like this one in this highly sought-after neighbourhood: a dwelling with up to four 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.
