The building was built in the late 19th century and adjoins the former residence of famous French literary figure Théophile Gautier. It is set slightly back from the street and is sheltered from view by a hedge as well as a tree-filled garden, featuring a majestic weeping willow and a magnolia. The three-storey edifice is topped by a slate roof punctuated by dormer windows. The apartment is the only one situated on the top floor and can be reached by a comfortable staircase. The entrance opens into a vast, around 65-m² living room boasting a cathedral ceiling with a remarkable exposed roof frame and a roof ridge that is 4.8-metres high. The room also possesses a working fireplace with a carved wooden mantelpiece. A fully fitted kitchen with a slate countertop striking a nice balance with the warm hues of the wood can be found next to this room. The irregular volumes of the two bedrooms with sloping ceilings are given a warm ambiance by the omnipresence of the wooden framing. A bathroom and a shower room are decorated in a similar fashion. Following a walk-in wardrobe space, there is a separate lavatory. A staircase climbs to a vast mezzanine overlooking the lounge and it could be converted into a bedroom, an office or a games room for children. A large cellar can be reached via the basement level, as can a double parking space that can be purchased in addition to the property’s sales price. A recently installed boiler provides heating for the apartment, which is also fitted with air conditioning.
