Information about the property :
The apartment is located on the 3rd floor in a large, beautiful freestone building (Haussmann era, 19ᵉ century) with 2 entrance doors, one of which opens onto Boulevard Barbès, protected by 2 digicodes, and a janitor living on site. The building's residents are friendly (everyone greets each other).
The apartment is sunny and spacious (81 m²), with unobstructed views (thanks to a large bow window and tall double windows). The master bedroom overlooks a quiet inner courtyard. It is high-ceilinged, well laid out, with many well-preserved period architectural details (antique parquet floors, ceiling moldings, wainscoting, 2 marble fireplaces with large mirrors, period ceramic stove, large bow window, beautiful tall windows in all rooms, with double glazing, shutters, curtains and wrought-iron balustrades, as well as two French windows with etched and beveled glass). The decor combines several styles - modern, ethnic and antique. Paintwork, bedding and furniture were completely replaced in 2010.
