Location
The Auteuil neighbourhood features a one-of-a-kind identity, inherited from the former village that was incorporated into Paris in 1860. Less immense than the capital’s central neighbourhoods, it has preserved a residential ambiance made up of tree-lined streets, elegant buildings, villas and gardens, which more than justify its sought-out nature.
In addition, the rue Chardon-Lagache is near shops on the rue d’Auteuil, as well as schools, like the Jean-Baptiste Say and La Fontaine secondary schools, the Saint-Jean de Passy and Notre-Dame des Oiseaux all-through schools, as well as several metro stations, such as Eglise d’Auteuil and Chardon-Lagache (line 10) and Michel-Ange–Molitor (line 9). As for the proximity of the Bois de Boulogne, it represents an ideal place to take walks and exercise, thanks to sports clubs such as Tir aux Pigeons and Paris Racing.
Description
The Building
Built in 1930, the building stands out thanks to the quality of its design: a brick façade with a stone foundation that reaches all the way to the third storey, stone window/door surrounds and quoins, as well as wrought-iron guardrails. With Art Deco-style decorative details, as demonstrated by the frieze highlighting the stringcourse on the third storey, the dwelling’s gate and glass front door, safeguarded by a wrought-iron grill decorated with geometric and spiral patterns, provide access to the simple and, yet, harmonious, common areas, while the entryway, completely clad in stone, is evidence of the particular attention paid to the building’s architecture with its finely moulded cornice and basket-handle arch. In addition, the building’s exteriors were recently restored, whereas a bike shed and a cellar are both easily accessible from the ground floor.
The Flat
Facing the light to the southeast, this flat spans the entire first floor, while an immense gallery entrance provides access to a triple living room of more than 50 m². Completely open, which emphasises an overall feeling of space and creates continuity between the different areas, its decorative details recall the style of the 1930s: narrow, straight-plank parquet floors, angular or vegetal crown moulding as well as two square columns delineating the living room space.
Directly accessible from the living room, a fully fitted kitchen can accommodate up to six guests around the dining table, while, in the back, a pantry and a service door provide access to a storeroom and a cellar. Lastly, in terms of its sleeping quarters, two bedrooms abut a bathroom and a wardrobe, whereas a third bedroom comes with its own private shower room.
Our opinion
Featuring a number of sought-out characteristics in Paris, such as a coveted residential address, a building with elegant architecture and large interior volumes, this flat exudes an understated affluence, devoid of all ostentation, providing the ideal space for a comfortable and rewarding family life. With a fluid and contemporary layout, which prioritises open spaces rather than hallways, it would completely correspond to the demands of a modern-day family, while still preserving its inherent Art Deco spirit.
