Charming Montmartre Studio with Spacious Terrace and Historic Charm

This remodeled apartment is located in a charming and well-maintained red brick and stone building on the 3rd floor (4th floor US). There is no elevator in the building, but the staircase is wide and comfortable.   You enter the apartment through the small tiled kitchen area that includes new appliances. The kitchen opens onto the main living area, with its hardwood floors, lovely fireplace and a custom Murphy bed unit that converts to a queen-size bed with top quality mattresses, atop a regular couch for use in daytime hours. The space has other simple but stylish furnishings. A custom closet has been added to the left of the fireplace (Murphy bed and closet not shown in current photos).  The modern, simple bathroom has a glass-enclosed shower, sink and toilet. The apartment is sold furnished.  A storage cellar completes this offering.

As special as the petite studio feels, the real treat awaits through a double French door that leads out to a spacious terrace almost as large as the apartment itself. Mature plants and comfortable seating looking over the building's courtyard garden, the terrace offers a sense of privacy, calm and shelter. The ensemble is so magical it's hard to decide whether to sit in the garden and look into the adorable apartment, or sit in the apartment and look out through the open doors to the picturesque garden terrace.

The apartment is ideally located on rue Paul Albert in Montmartre.  Just down the street is a small, leafy square, the Place Paul Albert,  with several charming cafes. The park surrounding Paris' iconic Sacre Coeur starts there. Just up the street is the special neighborhood of Lamarck-Caulaincourt, a hilly, picturesque area with a gorgeous tree-lined market street on the rue Caulaincourt.  You can explore the winding streets and discover a historic windmill, a city vineyard, and never-ending eclectic shops, with sweeping views of Paris below you. The area easily accessed by several metro lines.
