A family dwelling, from the early 19th century, with a garden and patio, in Paris's Butte-aux-Cailles neighbourhood, within the 13th arrondissement.
With three floors, accessible via an interior lift, the buhrstone and brick dwelling with beige trim is set back from the street and preceded by a small garden of approximately 20 m², enclosed by wrought-iron fencing and accessible via a gate. As for its main façade, facing the street, it features two floors with windows surrounded by moulded white stone and safeguarded by ornate wrought-iron guardrails, while a glass and metal awning protects the front door from inclement weather.
Rectangular in shape, the dwelling is topped with a gently sloping roof, whereas, behind, a private courtyard extends the dwelling's floor area and provides access to a single-storey extension that contains several rooms. With two different entrances, the dwelling is accessible from either its front door, after ascending a couple of steps, or a separate entrance, preceded by several stairs that descend directly to the garden level.
The Ground FloorA central hallway provides access on either side to several rooms with parquet floors as well as the staircase to the upstairs level. On the right, a dining room is located next to a kitchen, whose bay window provides unobstructed views of the garden, while, to the left, a dual-aspect living room, with approximately 37 m² and a fireplace, is illuminated by two oriel windows, which provide ample sunlight for this room all day long. The Upstairs LevelThis floor features three separate rooms, all accessible from a central landing. With straight-plank parquet floors throughout, the main bedroom communicates directly with a shower room, creating a private suite, while of the two other bedrooms, one still has an ancient fireplace, a vestige of its original materials and decorative details, while an attic, accessible via a ladder, extends under the dwelling's eaves.The Garden LevelImmense and polyvalent, this floor features a large workshop with a bay window facing the garden, a separate room, a cellar, a small hallway and machine rooms. As for the extension, located in the back courtyard, it is accessible from this floor and includes a bedroom, a conservatory as well as a shower room with lavatory - creating a self-contained flat with a separate entrance from the street - while the courtyard, a fully private outdoor area, is a blank slate just waiting for its future occupants to transform it according to their tastes and wishes, whether that be a patio, a garden or an outdoor extension of the workshop.
Although meticulously maintained, the dwelling will require some updates in terms of its interior decor, which will thereby allow its future occupants to leave their own stamp on its sound and well-preserved spaces, whereas a parking space, included in the sale, is located in the neighbouring block of flats.
