A sunny 50-m² flat, on the third floor of a building with a lift, not far from Paris's National Assembly, in the 7th arrondissement.
The flat, with a floor area of approximately 50 m², is located in the prestigious Invalides neighbourhood, just steps away from the Boulevard Saint-Germain and within proximity to many establishments emblematic of France's great democratic ethos. As for the 19th-century building, with five floors and two flats per landing, for a total of ten co-owners, it features an entrance safeguarded by an entry code and pass, meticulously maintained common areas, which reflect the aesthetics of the era in which this building was constructed, and a stairwell, illuminated by a bull's-eye window, with an original wooden staircase decorated with a polished wooden handrail supported by an ornate wrought-iron post.
Accessible either via the staircase or the lift, the flat, facing east, includes a foyer, a kitchen, a large living room, a shower room with a macerating toilet (possible to install a real lavatory), as well as a bedroom that faces the quiet interior courtyard. Last, but not least, the flat is also sold with a storage cupboard and a cellar space.
The FlatThe flat's front door opens on to a foyer, with straight-plank hardwood floors recalling the simplicity of the Post-Haussmannian style, designed to temper the exuberance of the constructions from this period, which communicates with the first rooms in the flat. To the right, a kitchen designed in a contemporary and, yet, understated style with cement floor tiles, is bathed in light by two small windows facing the courtyard, while, on the left, a double living room, with a floor area of nearly 20 m², faces fully east.
Originally made up of three rooms, the flat's layout was modified in order to include a living room and a dining room, the latter of which are accessible via two separate doors, making it possible for the flat's future owners to return the dwelling to its original layout and add a second bedroom. With two marble fireplaces on either end, one black, the other pink, which are highlighted by their mirrored chimneybreasts and these rooms' mitred Herringbone hardwood floors, the flat also features rectilinear crown moulding, olive-shaped brass doorknobs and two tall windows, indicative of the flat's architectural aesthetics, both understated and elegant.
In addition, to the west, a small corridor is lined with custom-made cupboards, while to the left is a shower room with lavatory, completely renovated, and at the end of the corridor, a bedroom looks out on to the interior courtyard, completely sheltered from the typical Parisian commotion.
