Maison à vendre, 166m², Paris 16ème

Description

The townhouse stands out thanks to its very noble facade. It was built in the early 20th century at a time when the aim in Paris was to combine modernity with classic splendour. Its lines are precise and almost sculptural, stripped of 19th-century decorum in favour of purity of volumes and brightness. The communal areas are not merely a transition zone but a theatrical introduction to the place’s essence. The size of the rooms is amplified due to the considerable ceiling height reminiscent of vast aristocratic residences. The apartment is located on the first floor, above an intermediate level, and is the only one on this storey. It can be reached via the staircase but also via an elevator. Through the double-leaf door, the entrance leads to a vast, almost 50-m² lounge facing west, from which two wide French windows open onto two balconies, accentuating the space and brightness. Adjacent to the lounge, through a double-leaf door, there is a dining room. The spacious kitchen possesses a window that overlooks the 16th arrondissement’s planted walkway. In the sleeping area, a corridor leads to bedrooms with surfaces of 22, 18 and 10 m². The first two each boast a balcony that can be reached by French windows. A large bathroom and a shower room also occupy this section of the apartment, as well as two lavatories, one of which is near to the reception rooms. At the tip of the building, there is a more than 16-m² terrace that is not overlooked and which is bordered by a guard-rail with balusters. On the ground floor, a more than 30-m² garage has capacity for two vehicles as well as storage space that can be used in a similar way to a cellar. The property has an individual heating and hot water system that functions with a mains gas powered boiler. The apartment requires complete renovation.
