Petit Palais: Lavish Garden Apartment in a Historic Hôtel Particulier

It is rare to find palatial properties in a diminutive size, but this special 68.55 m2, two-bedroom, two-bath property offers the opportunity to live like royalty without the upkeep and expense of an entire palace.  This most unusual and charming ground floor residence, set within a former hotel particulier, opens onto a large private courtyard garden, which was formerly the orangery for the grand townhouse.  Offered at 1,450,000 €  4% agency fees included.

Upon entering the building huge glass doors leading out to the garden dominate the view.  The property itself is a contradiction in terms, being both a bijou residence and yet lavishly appointed in the style of a grand Parisian home. Exceptionally high ceilings and a multitude of magnificent high windows bring light and grandeur.  Mirrored and gold leafed surfaces add to the sense of luxury and space.

Le Petit Palais' offers an entrance-dining hall, an elaborate drawing room, two bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, and a galley kitchen.

The drawing room French doors open onto discreet terraces within the spacious courtyard garden, adding to the expansive feel of living in the palatial setting of this remarkable residence.  The master bedroom and bath on the upper level are accessed by an open stair with a balcony overlooking the living and dining areas.  The guest bedroom is on the lower level with its own bath and laundry area.  Every part of the property has hidden storage built in so that it is easy to keep everything hidden away, in its own place.  Even the kitchen is in theme, benefitting from elegant touches of silver, gold and mirrors.

The building has a resident Gardienne, and is one of Paris' classic mansions adjoining the Prime Minister's residence, Hotel Matignon, and its 2 hectares of garden. A pre-eminent address in Paris with many boutiques and restaurants as well as Paris's best shopping at Le Bon Marché' and the Rodin museum all within a few minutes walk make this location one of the most desirable for chic living.
