A luxury split-level penthouse near Place d'Iéna

At the top of a very smart Haussmann building in the 16th arrondissement, this apartment epitomizing comfort and exclusive design elegantly embraces the city and sky from its two terraces. Tour of an esthete’s lair which adds enchantment to the fine art of Parisian living.

Coherence is an art-form, luxury a pleasure. On entering this superb Haussmann building, the tone is set by a glowing parquet floor and fitted red carpets. The handsome, fully glazed lift takes us on a ride in first class to the 4th floor. When you step inside the apartment, a large steel staircase linking the two floors confirms the property’s status and esthetic allure. Further on, a vast study with a skylight, wood panelling and earthy colours offers appealing modernity. In this room devoted to concentration, armchairs in red and brown leather, an outsized wooden bookcase, a painting, sculptures and rugs organize the space quite brilliantly. On the same floor, a guest suite plays on a similar palette of colours, nourishing its refined, cocooning atmosphere. Nor is there any rupture on the upper level whose superb living area offers a solid caramel-coloured parquet floor, dotted here and there with large soft carpets, either printed or plain. The double lounge opens out to the kitchen and the terrace suspended above the city : 45 m2 beneath the skies of Paris, to enjoy the luxury of an outdoor area protected from prying eyes. While windows line up to offer a panoramic view of the town in real time, the numerous sofas are an invitation to relax, daydream, participate in long discussions... The volumes here consist not only of dozens of square metres, but also cutting-edge technology with air conditioning and home automation in all the rooms. Inspiration matching today’s taste while flirting with an all-encompassing softness, especially in the magnificent master suite with a walk-in closet for Monsieur, another for Madame, and a remarkable bathroom. Two more suites are to be found on this floor. And everywhere the presence of wood and warm colours, keeping the ample volumes in check and giving a strong signature theme to this luxury penthouse.

“In itself alone, this apartment solves an equation with five variables by offering characteristics that are already hard to find separately in Paris,” says Maud Poncet Grady who is handling the sale of the property. “It occupies the top two floors, benefits from two terraces that are not overlooked, a staff apartment and three parking places, all in a Haussmann building with very elegant communal premises : a truly exceptional property !”
