A large townhouse with a summer garden and conservatory
on rue Legendre, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris
Paris, PARIS paris 75017 FR

Location

This house is located in a pleasant living environment, in the Épinettes district. After its past as a trading and industrial estate in the 19th century, this district now combines Parisian authenticity with modernity, through its archetypal shops, markets and cafés. A particular asset is the proximity of renowned educational establishments, such as the Saint-Ouen primary school or the Lycée Honoré de Balzac senior high school. The area boasts good public transport links and the house is only a few minutes from the Guy Moquet metro station, providing quick access to the main points of interest in the French capital.

Description

This townhouse built in 1886, tucked away behind an apartment block, boasts an exterior with plenty of character. This former family home was recently used as a boarding house before being converted back into its original purpose, with floor-space of almost 288-m². Its period features have been carefully preserved, such as the alternating bands of red and beige bricks, adorned with Virginia creepers, and its drop-arched openings. A path through a 55-m² private garden leads to a small flight of steps, at the top of which stands the wooden entrance door adorned with ironwork, above which there is the original awning. On the ground floor, the door opens into an entrance hall and hallway, with ornate cement tiles, which leads to a lounge, dining room, office and a large kitchen. This level boasts period features preserved from the date of construction: the English bond flooring, ceiling mouldings and small fireplace.
To the rear, there is an almost 67-m² conservatory completely covered by a glass roof. This extension to the house is an invitation to relax, whatever the season.
A wooden staircase with a wrought-iron balustrade leads to the upper floors.
On the first floor, the landing leads to a large lounge with a marble fireplace, an office, a bedroom and a bathroom. On the second floor, the landing leads to four bedrooms bathed in light, a bathroom and a lavatory.
A mezzanine floor can be reached from the ground floor or from the conservatory, adding a generous amount of floor-space. It includes a multimedia lounge, a music room, a shower room and a utility room.
It is easy to imagine that the large, vaulted cellar occupying the entire basement level, could have been the treasure trove of a champagne merchant.

Our opinion

This townhouse tucked away from prying eyes is a secret haven of peace and quiet in the heart of Paris. Its elegance of times gone by has been perfectly preserved as witnessed by the presence of period features: warm wood stripped flooring, delicate mouldings and fireplaces, whilst its conservatory and spaciousness make it an ideal place for a family seeking a comfortable home. The old, vaulted cellar alludes to a rich past, adding a fascinating historical touch.
