Location
At Paris’s south-western gates, this calm and safe neighbourhood has been actively inhabited since the 3rd century BCE – as evidenced by the discovery of its Gallo-Roman thermal baths – and would later welcome an abbey, before turning into a fully urbanised city on the outskirts of Paris.
Easily accessible via the metro, with one of its stations 8 minutes away on foot, a renowned high school is also located nearby as well as many athletic facilities and shops.
Description
The ground floor includes a garage for two large-size vehicles as well as a fitness centre with a swimming pool, hot tub, steam room and a small gym, in addition to a utility room. The basement level has a screening-game room of approximately 34 m², as well as a wine cellar and laundry room.
The Private Mansion
Built in 2008 by its current owners, the house was expanded in 2012. Located on the corner of two calm residential streets, the house’s back façade looks out over gardens and is sheltered from view. With a basement, ground floor, main level with a patio as well as two upper floors, the premises’ layout was perfectly planned in order to create comfortable and well-proportioned spaces, all accessible via a lift as well as a magnificent spiral staircase. Although its street-side façade is very understated – a white cube, grafted with patios and punctuated by large square picture windows – its patio-side façade was designed with an Art Deco feel, which makes the house stand out from its neighbours, specifically thanks to its panoramic glass lift. The whole house, which includes nearly 465 m² of inhabitable floor area, is in perfect condition.
The Ground Floor
Accessible directly from the street, the property’s entrance opens onto an initial space, which is used as the front porch, followed by a massive offset pivot door, which gives onto a grand hall from where the spiral staircase – the house’s true centrepiece – leads to the upper floors. Built out of concrete and metal and coated with a sophisticated painting technique, it seems to float in the middle of the building. Behind the staircase is the lift as well as a lavatory with washbasin. On one side of the entrance is the garage, which can hold two large-size vehicles, as well as a room for the rubbish bins and a machine room. On the other side is the fitness centre, which includes a swimming pool with a hot tub, a steam room, gym and lavatory. A utility room with a shower and washbasin can also be found on this level.
The Main Floor
Dedicated to the living spaces with a floor area of approximately 102 m², this level is arranged in an L shape around a vast south-facing, tree-filled patio of nearly 61 m². Entirely open, a fitted kitchen is extended by a dining room, which is then continued by a second dining room and a living room with an ethanol fireplace. With large picture windows facing the patio, this vast open space has a floor-to-ceiling height of 3.4 metres, and either polished concrete or light-coloured wide-plank oak hardwood floors.
The First Floor
This level is made up of a private space of 79 m², which includes a dual-aspect living room with bookcases and a television room. Behind double pocket doors is the dual-aspect bedroom, which opens onto a balcony that overlooks the patio. A wardrobe is adjacent, followed by a bathroom with a bathtub, a vast walk-in shower, a double basin vanity unit and a separate lavatory. This floor also includes an office, an adjacent shower room with washbasin as well as a separate lavatory.
The Second Floor
Reserved for children and guests, this floor includes a dual-aspect living room, which looks out over a patio, as well as a dual-aspect bedroom accessible via a pocket door, with a wardrobe and an adjacent bathroom with washbasin, bathtub and lavatory. Two other bedrooms have their own shower room with washbasin, while a lavatory is located on the landing.
The Basement Level
This level is made up of a central space, a screening-game room of nearly 34 m², a laundry room, a wine cellar and various machine rooms.
Our opinion
This private mansion’s wisely chosen geographical location provides easy access to the centre of Paris or a fast getaway from the capital, via the motorways to the south and west or the Orly airport. The house’s discreet street-side façade conceals a home with superb volumes and amenities, which, although absolutely unimaginable from the outside, create a relaxing and magnificent living environment. With its massive picture windows and contemporary construction, this house is the perfect place to revel in luxurious comfort.
