Haussmann setting near Parc Monceau

In a magnificent stone Haussmann building dating back to 1910, this chic apartment occupying the “noble” floor combines spacious rooms with high ceilings and intelligent layout. Basking in light, its comfortable living space of 300 m2 offers an enviable lifestyle…

Once through the courtyard of this quiet elegant building surrounded by greenery, a handsome marble staircase invites us to ignore the lift and climb up to

the second floor. The apartment’s entrance hall immediately sets the tone : light and airy, with tall French windows, a high ceiling, herringbone parquet floor, lovely silver chandeliers and a large bookcase. We are clearly entering the home of people who appreciate beautiful things, where everything is carefully chosen to create a unique atmosphere. A kind of crossroads for the apartment, the entrance hall leads to two distinct areas : the first dedicated to living rooms, the second to bedrooms. With harmonious colours setting off clean graphic lines, the lounge offers period details such as lovely mouldings, and daylight streaming in through two tall windows. Double doors lead to the dining-room which has summoned colour to adorn its walls and where a large table surrounded by eight chairs faces a beautiful fireplace surmounted by a mirror. These interconnecting rooms providing easy circulation lead us straight to the kitchen, the main room in the apartment. Its walls and ceiling are painted in carbon grey, except for one area laid bare to reveal period brick. A work surface in matt stainless steel, a black leather benchseat, round wooden table, a multitude of mirrors and light fixtures… All these items are in perfect harmony and interact, setting off this room which comes with another wonderful surprise : a wine cellar of 6 m2 for up to 1,000 bottles ! On the other side of the entrance hall, the night area consists of 4 bedrooms including a sublime master suite of impressive size and two children’s bedrooms linked by a mezzanine providing a play area. In the bedrooms and bathrooms, we again find the elegance that characterizes the living area, with a uniformity of materials and colours giving precedence to harmony.

In immediate proximity to Parc Monceau, on the second floor of a smart Haussmann building, this superb family apartment of 305 m2 benefits from a ceiling height of 3.40 metres. It is comprised of a lounge with balcony, dining-room, eat-in kitchen accompanied by a wine cellar, a laundry room, 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. Cellar and two parking places in the basement.

The kitchen boasts an astute blend of materials providing character while retaining the tone that provides unity throughout the apartment.

The same spirit is found in the master suite, with pale parquet floors and carefully preserved Haussmann features, set off by a subtle use of colour.

“This apartment offers several advantages including its desirable location at the heart of the Plaine Monceau, close to the park,” says Jules Caris, who is handling the sale of the property. “It provides living space of 300 m2 all on one floor, and beautifully balanced layout with the day area on one side and the night area on the other. Recently renovated and in perfect condition, the apartment would perfectly suit a family whose members will all benefit from real privacy.”
