A majestic private mansion in Saint-Germain-des Prés

Melting into the urban landscape, this superb mansion built in the 18th and 19th centuries offers an idyllic residence at the very heart of the capital. In the famous antique-dealers’ neighbourhood in Saint-Germain-des-Prés, it proposes exemplary comfort thanks to ingenious layout and remarkable renovation. A luxurious property providing an elegant lifestyle in Left Bank mode.

An ardent testimonial to Parisian chic, this private mansion is one of those buildings we all love to dream about. It is entered via a paved inner courtyard basking in quiet, already suggesting a blissful home... A promising preamble taking us, as per the rules of the art, to a noble residence of over 1,300 m2. The previous owners carried out refined renovation from the meticulously revamped basements to the roof. The attention they lavished on each detail and their enlightened choice of top-quality materials endow each room with taste and elegance. The property has been split into five apartments, each attesting to the French art of living in its own way. On the first and second floors, a first duplex of 197 m2. Also on the second floor, an apartment of 85 m2, then another through duplex of 241 m2 on the top two floors. A charming triplex of 36 m2 plays the ace of discretion, while an outsize gem of 286 m2, including the rehabil­itated basements of 87 m2, plays the starring role. Parquet floors, marble, fireplaces and moulded ceilings are to be found in these apartments, all benefiting from numerous windows. The warmth of wood in the living-rooms makes for a welcoming atmosphere, while marble majestically adorns the bathrooms. Delightfully bourgeois, the lofty volumes have retained their soul thanks to period features recalling bygone days. Everywhere, a sense of balance and fluidity plays its part in the radiant esthetics. A sensitively orchestrated score in a residence offering artful associations, and now awaiting its new owners to enter a new dimension.

“This mansion is unique for its location in the 7th arrondissement, an exceptional part of Paris with few buildings of this kind still available in their entirety,” says Eric Vincent, who is handling its sale. “While retaining its precious period features, the property has been treated to perfect renovation. Its new configuration as five apartments will appeal to a family or an investor, and it could also easily be converted into a luxury hotel residence.” Plus de 10 M €.
