Apartment in Paris’ 6th arrondissement blends old and new, with a view

In the heart of the 6th arrondissement on rue Bonaparte, located halfway between the ancient church of Saint Germain and the Seine River lies the perfect pied-a-terre or investment property.  The newly renovated 3 bedroom, 2 bath 117.2 m² apartment perches on the top floors of of an elegant, well-maintained building (with elevator) and features two master suites with full bathrooms and walk-in closets.  Offered at 2,750,000 €.

This apartment is so much more gorgeous in person; photos just don’t do it justice.  The chic and sleek modern upgrades act as a counterpoint to more historic elements, resulting in a fresh take on the traditional Paris apartment.  The soothing grey entry opens to a vast 40 m² living room with three arched French doors that frame the magnificent facade of the School of Fine Arts. The contrast between the light beams and oak herringbone wood flooring, and the dark fireplace with its black marble mantelpiece give this room a warm and sophisticated charm.  

The living room opens into a large, fully fitted, modern and elegant kitchen, large enough to serve as dining room.  Appliances are concealed so that the space functions well for entertaining.

The main level is comprised of living / dining, kitchen (with a built-in wine cellar and laundry closet), master bedroom suite, study / bedrooom, and powder room.  The upper level has a second master suite with full bath, walk-in closet, plus a romantic balcony with amazing view.

Two master suites, each with their own full bath and walk in closet, plus an additional study / bedroom provide great flexibility.  The small 3rd bedroom could also serve as the perfect owners lock off, or study.

Predominantly facing west, this 2-story flat is bright, sophisticated and spa-like, while retaining its rustic charm. The extensive renovation spared no expense.  The choice of warm hues, the use of old-fashioned plaster tiles, identical to the original ones, in the bathrooms and the addition of doors made of Macassar-style, striated wood in the dressing rooms are the most obvious signs of the attention to detail.  The chic furnishings are sold with the flat, providing a move-in ready, turn key solution.

The property includes two extremely rare parking spots in the courtyard and a large service room that could serve as an office or atelier. For more information on this property, or assistance with buying or selling another property in Paris: contact@parispropertygroup.com
