This 'family-sized', 3-bedroom, late 19th century apartment makes an ideal setting for a family or a small group of friends who want to vacation in the very heart of Paris without sacrificing space or comfort.
Newly renovated, this 1,280 square foot apartment has a truly Parisian feel thanks to its high ceilings, extensive wainscoting, oak wood floors and several fireplaces. The owners have included some family heirlooms as part of the furnishings, which add to the apartment's charm.
The apartment is sunny, and south-facing. Across the front of the apartment, the living room, dining room and master bedroom all look out onto the street, each room with its own set of double French doors opening onto a balcony. The two back bedrooms give onto a quiet, bright courtyard. There is also a large kitchen, two bathrooms, and a separate WC.
The kitchen, located just off the entry hallway, is all new and fully-equipped with a dishwasher, micro-wave oven and combination washer/dryer, plus refrigerator and freezer.
The 200 sq. ft. master bathroom has its own en suite bathroom with shower and toilet; it is small, but very comfortable and has been designed in a contemporary style. The larger bathroom at the other end of the apartment off the entry hallway has a shower and was renovated in a ‘retro’ style with warm earth-colored tiles and old-fashioned style faucets.
A second 'WC' is located next to this bathroom in its own separate room, typical of old French apartments. The living room, adjacent,can also sleep one or two extra guests thanks to a high-quality sofabed which converts to a double.
The dining-room has a round oak table which can be extended to seat 8 guests. This room gives onto the very spacious living room. The marble fireplace in the living room has a large bronze mirror over it, dating from the 18th century. The master bedroom follows, with its ample double bed, a second TV, antique wardrobe and en-suite bathroom. All three of these rooms have antique crystal or bronze chandeliers, creating a cozy, old-world feeling.
At about 120 sq ft. each, the two courtyard bedrooms are spacious enough to accommodate two guests each. The first courtyard bedroom has two twins and the second has a queen-sized bed.
Ideally located in the Latin Quarter on the rue des Ecoles, the apartment is just a five minute walk down to the Seine river and Notre Dame Cathedral or across the boulevard St. Michel to fashionable St. Germain des Près. Heading up the rue Montagne St. Genviève, it is just a few blocks to the Panthéon, and a ten-minute walk to the Luxembourg gardens.
The Maubert-Mutualité metro stop is a two-minute walk. There are food shops, bakeries, and a large open-air weekly market on the Boulevard St. Germain nearby. This classic “family-sized” apartment is ideal for a family or small group of friends wishing to have the comforts of home while living “la vie Parisienne” in the very historical center of Paris. |
