A 210-m² flat with a private garden, a former maid's room and a cellar, on the avenue Henri-Martin, not far from Lamartine Square.
This six-storey Haussmannian-style building stands out thanks to its light ashlar stone façade, which is, in turn, highlighted by delicate moulding and wrought-iron balconies that punctuate its different levels, as well as a splendid corner rotunda. With tall windows providing plenty of light and emphasising the façade's symmetry, its slate mansard roof is cadenced by arched dormers, while a breath-taking double entrance hall includes an initial immense space where one can almost still here the clatter of bygone horse-drawn carriages that once parked here.
In addition, two impressive glass doors with finely crafted ironwork, which recall the premises' historical pedigree, open on to a second entrance hall that leads to a marble staircase safeguarded by a wrought-iron bannister, whereas the entire entrance hall is bathed in soft light thanks to large stained glass windows, whose bright colours embellish the space with a stately and timeless ambiance.
The FlatLocated on the ground floor, the flat extends over nearly 210 m² and includes three bedrooms. With immense proportions, soaring floor-to-ceiling heights of 3.8 metres and an elegant ambiance, all of which are immediately noticeable, its ceilings are decorated with crown moulding and delicate 19th-century motifs, which provide each room with a certain nobility and cachet.
As for the front door, it opens on to an immense gallery, which provides fluid access to all the flat's different rooms and, specifically, an enchanting living area, of more than 100 m², which includes the gallery, two adjacent sitting rooms and a sunny dining room. Inside, one's gaze is naturally drawn to the flat's tall multi-casement windows - safeguarded with antique cremone locking devices whose timeless charm recalls the premises' elegant nature - which not only diffuse a soft and constant light for the flat's interior, but also highlight its materials, reveal its vast proportions and enhance its majestic volumes.
In addition, an inviting kitchen, a small corridor, three large bedrooms as well as two bathrooms, with lavatories, were designed to provide comfort and convenience, while, throughout, uninterrupted mitred Herringbone hardwood floors add a touch of warmth to the whole.
Last, but not least, a tree-filled garden gracefully extends the living area, and provides a privileged access to the exterior via a calm and verdant space, which is an invitation to sit back and relax on sunny days.The Adjacent GardenExtending over 178 m², it acts as a natural extension of the living area and is accessible via large glass double doors, which reveal its verdant depths. Behind inconspicuous metal fencing, the garden offers the rare privilege of a green space in the middle of Paris where several trees, meticulously preserved, create an interplay of light and shadows throughout the day, while this verdant area, peaceful and easily adaptable, features a private entrance, which makes it possible to discreetly park one vehicle.
As a genuine extension of the flat, this luxuriant space is not only ideal for al-fresco lunches and long summer evenings, but also contributes to the property's overall exceptional character, by combining the luxury of a private garden with the convenience of a sought-out urban address.The Former Maid's Room and CellarLocated in the back of the building and overlooking a courtyard, a former maid's room, of nearly 10 m², comes with the flat, as does a cellar in the basement.
