Location
Île Saint-Louis river island is one of the most highly sought-after spots in Paris. This unique apartment is tucked away in the heart of this charming district. Here it enjoys a central, advantageous location in the middle of the French capital. Set back from bustle yet in central Paris, this neighbourhood offers a pleasant backdrop for day-to-day life with the River Seine quays, specialist food shops and a quaint village atmosphere. The property is only a stone's throw from Notre-Dame Cathedral and the old, trendy Marais district. Indeed, the area combines elegance, tranquillity and cultural vibrancy. You can easily reach the property from the metro stations Pont Marie (line 7) and Saint-Paul (line 1).
Description
The edifice dates back to the 17th century. It has been redesigned over time, yet it has kept its old character. It is a commonhold building that was recently renovated on a large scale, with the court-facing elevations and roofs completely restored. The apartment, which offers a floor area of nearly 60m², lies up on the second floor. You reach it via a wooden staircase. Like the building, the apartment was also recently renovated completely. The masterful renovation work successfully combined 18th-century features with modern touches. The main room, which brings together a lounge and dining area, is bathed in natural light from three tall windows. This spacious room has ceiling beams that are exposed but discreet, chevron parquet, and a ceiling height of over 3.5 metres. Beyond it, there is a fully fitted open-plan kitchen, designed elegantly and practically. It has dark furniture doors and a granite work surface. Behind an industrial-style glazed wall, there is a first bedroom fitted with storage spaces. This bedroom could also be used as an office. By removing the glazed wall, you could even bring this room and the main reception space together as one, thereby increasing its full size. A second bedroom faces a small inner court, which is filled with natural light. The court’s walls were recently renovated. This bedroom is also high-ceilinged and has chevron parquet too. The shower room, adorned with textured ceramic tiles and plainly designed taps and fittings, has a shower, a washbasin and a lavatory, as well as a space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
Our opinion
This delightful apartment on Île Saint-Louis river island is tucked away in one of the most highly sought-after spots in Paris, nestled in a characterful backdrop with pleasant calm for everyday life. The dwelling has been renovated masterfully, blending historical architecture with modern comfort, yet without ever removing the traces of its long story. Exposed beams, chevron parquet and high ceilings form a typically Parisian decor with remarkable proportions. The layout could be adjusted. You could enjoy two bedrooms here or give priority to a vast reception room. In short, this unique property could be your ideal Parisian pied-à-terre or even your main home, in the French capital’s old heart with its unspoilt charm.
