Sumptuous penthouse in proximity to the Palais de Tokyo
In proximity to the Palais de Tokyo in the chic 16th arrondissement, this penthouse is impressively extended by its sublime roof-terrace of 300 m2 offering the privilege of a stunning view of the city and the Eiffel Tower. On the two lower floors, the living accommodation is comprised of elegant rooms with generous volumes and the accent on comfort.
Just like a picture-postcard, or a declaration of love to the City of Light… A “tête à tête” with the Eiffel Tower, in a place where Paris offers itself up to the open sky. A truly distinctive feature, this unclassifiable roof-terrace of 300 m2 seems to hang in the air : “This amazing asset sets the property totally apart,” says Axelle Evrard, who is handling its sale. “It is one of the most beautiful terraces in Paris, offering a spectacular view of the city's monuments, including the Eiffel Tower, which can here be admired from top to bottom. A place where you feel something magical, in addition to the privacy offered by this vast space, sheltered from prying eyes.” Further on, when you take the indoor lift to the floor devoted to the reception rooms, the magic continues to work its spell. Over 100 m2 of modern comfort, in a succession of rooms which have retained exquisite features such as period panelling, moulded ceilings, a fireplace… All ensconced in a contemporary atmosphere with immaculate walls and white furniture, brightened here and there by touches of colour and warmed by large, soft carpets. The main drawing-room with its fireplace and bookcase, the lovely kitchen opening out to the lounge area and, further on, the large study, all unfurl beautiful materials and real refinement. From one room to the next, the choice of stylishness sets the tone, even in the floors, an expert blend of parquet and waxed concrete. And everywhere windows that frame the rooms, letting natural light stream in. On the lower floor, with the same surface area, the space is entirely dedicated to a master bedroom, and thus a magnificent art of living. With a series of windows, the outsize bedroom gives precedence to essentials and simplicity : the bed is enthroned here in all its majesty, set on a large carpet. The tones share a palette of colours ranging from white to brown, while the bathroom gracefully breaks this chromatic unity, opting for black and white. A gem of a room, a real ode to well-being, easily accommodating a bathtub, shower, but also a hammam and sauna. A prime example of comfort, the entire apartment offers a peaceful cocoon in which luxury has found its rightful place.
