“Located right in the very center of Paris, in a charming sidestreet of the historic Marais area, this duplex apartment combines the classic Parisian charm of exposed beam architecture with the comfort and style of modern furnishings and amenities. The apartment has been freshly renovated and refurnished, finished October 2005.

The interior design is modern and stylish, with crisp clean lines and matching natural tones over a dark wood parquet floor. The seating area features a large comfy sofa (unfolds into queen sized bed as required), as well as two soft matching footstools. Both seating and dining areas are designed to accommodate 4 guests in comfort.

With two tall french windows, it’s an airy room to relax in. The hundred-year-old ceiling beams bring a delightful sens of Paris history, painted a soothing pale grey to harmoniously integrate them with the modern designer look.

The kitchen is open plan. The units are finished a glossy white, with stainless steel splash backing. A solid wood worktop brings a contrasting warmth. The kitchen is fully equipped.

Upstairs, the bedroom very spacious. The bed is king-sized (rare in Paris) and is particularly welcoming thanks to its thick luxurious mattress and soft headboard and cushions that match the curtains. A smart leather desk and leather chair offer the possibility of working from home if required. The view overlooks a pedestrian square, and double-glazing means that despite the lively central location, the room is quiet.

The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub and wall-mounted shower + shower partition, a towel heater, a lavatory and a stylish rectangular wash basin resting on a slab of exotic teak wood.

With a perfectly central location and a beautiful contemporary interior, this is an ideal Paris home from which to explore all the best areas of central Paris on foot.”
