Description:

This beautiful apartment is in a classic Haussmannian building and offers all the fine architectural elements of this style: large rooms, high ceilings, hard wood floors, ornate crown molding, marble fireplaces with mirrors above, and French windows with wrought iron balustrades. There is one apartment per floor in this building, and the elevator is modern and easy to use. The apartment faces both the street and a back courtyard, thus there is good light and cross ventilation.

The apartment has been beautifully decorated with furniture that is both stylish as well as comfortable. It has some spectacular Asian antiques, fine drapes and striking artwork. The walls are white with taupe wainscoting. The colors of the upholstered furniture and accent walls are vibrant, and the fabrics are opulent. The overall effect is warm and welcoming.

The living room is a very large room with 3 massive sofas in tangerine velvet, an oriental rug, glass coffee table and many lamps. Antique Asian armchairs flank the beautiful fireplace. Two floor-to-ceiling French windows have drapes that cascade to the floor. This is a wonderful space for relaxing.

From the living room one enters the kitchen/dining room. The kitchen has a professional quality stove and is extremely well equipped. A serving bar separates it from the dining area. A square dining table has seating for six and there is an elegant chandelier above. This, too is a beautiful room.

There are 3 bedrooms. The master is off the entry hall and has a king bed and faces the back courtyard. It is has a wonderful antique Asian armoire. Off the living room is the green room with 2 single beds. Both these rooms open onto a shared bath with double sinks in black marble and an oval bathtub with shower over. A separate toilet is off the entry hall.

Through a hallway off the entry and around the back of the apartment is the third bedroom which is decorated in tangerine and pink and has a king bed. This room has a bathroom across the hall with double sink, bathtub, and toilet.

Location Information:

Métro St. Germain-des-Près.

The 6th arrondissement is a wonderful location with elegant shops, broad beautiful boulevards, famous cafes, and lovely parks. There are elegant shops galore from Armani to Sonia Rikjel to Chanel. Great for buying and even for just browsing. But it's also an area for the artistic and literary crowd. The Café de Flore and the Café des Deux Magots were famous hangouts for the surrealist crowd in the 20s and 30s, the existentialists in the 40s and is still the place to sit and watch pedestrians go by. It's a short walk to either the Seine or the Jardin des Luxembourg if you wish to enjoy the natural setting.
