Property description
Surrounded by historical monument buildings that were constructed as of 1605 upon the order of the King Henry IV, the Place des Vosges is one of Paris’s five royal squares. Inaugurated in 1612 during the engagement of Louis XIII and Anne of Austria, the square-shaped Place des Vosges is surrounded by 36 pavilions or private mansions – the architectural style of which had to adhere to very precise specifications – and, today, presents a remarkably coherent whole thanks to its symmetrical layout and cohesive appearance. In addition, its location in the centre of the historic and trendy Marais district is ideal with restaurants, art galleries and entertainment hotspots just around the corner, while the metro lines 1, 5 and 8 are easily accessible from the Bastille station, as are the Gare de Lyon and Gare du Nord train stations. Lastly, the Massillon and Franc-Bourgeois academic establishments (providing primary through secondary school education) are also located nearby. Built in 1605, the flat is located on the last two floors of the Hôtel de Châtillon, a Historical Monument, and has approximately 165 m² of floor area – 146 m² of usable floor area. Accessible via a lift, the flat’s living area of nearly 80 m², with Versailles-style hardwood floors, includes a foyer with a cloakroom, an immense square-shaped living room with fireplace, followed by a dining room, which also has a fireplace, as well as an adjacent kitchen. As for the main bedroom, located on the same level and facing the courtyard with a floor area of approximately 34 m², it includes a study, a wardrobe and a bedroom.
Towards the back of the flat, a shower room is fitted with a shower, double washbasins and a lavatory, whereas, the flat’s upper level, crowned with exposed wooden rafters, includes a small sitting room or study, which enjoys a breath-taking view of the Place des Vosges, an adjacent shower room with a lavatory, washbasin and shower, concealed from view by an interplay of frosted glass, as well as a second bedroom with impressive wooden rafters. Although the flat, designed in the 1980s by the architect Axel Schoenert, does require a complete renovation, the commonhold building is very well maintained and has a live-in caretaker, while the flat itself comes with a cellar and a parking spot is also available nearby.
