The Faubourian style building was erected in 1880 above the underground aqueduct. It stands out thanks to the simplicity of the modest ashlar elevations with marked bossing, on its imposing facade, which is highlighted by another distinctive feature, namely, the regular alignment of its windows, through which light pours into the interior. The six-storey building can be reached through a moulded, double-leaf door with brass handles, topped by a segmental arched window, underlined by an ashlar surround with a protruding keystone console at the top. The communal spaces behind it are exceedingly elegant. A wide staircase with shallow steps means the apartment on the third floor can be reached without exertion. Once through the door, visitors are plunged into a luxurious atmosphere in the more than 13-m² entrance hall. Its many doors provide plenty of perspectives and allow light to stream in. A vast, approximately 20-m² reception room stands opposite the entrance door. It exudes a cosy and almost theatrical ambiance in which ornamental details such as moulding and cornices are highlighted. Enabling ergonomic living, a more than 14-m² kitchen is adjacent to the dining room. To the right of the entrance hall, a more than 26-m² Haussmannian style lounge decorated in light-coloured and warm hues is currently used as a music and reading room. It is bathed in light through two tall windows overlooking the street. A slightly more than 6-m² hallway leads to the apartment’s sleeping area, which is made up of three bedrooms with surfaces of 13 m², 15 m² and 21 m² respectively. An almost 5-m² shower room and separate lavatory complete the apartment, which still boasts period architectural features, such as chevron-patterned oakwood strip flooring, marble fireplaces or moulding. They have been combined with more modern furnishings and fittings, bestowing a unique hallmark on the apartment.
The property also includes a cellar.
