Enjoy this newly remodeled, 700 square foot apartment completed in late 2005, located on the fifth floor (with elevator) of a classic Haussman building of "Pierre de Taille."
This beautifully designed and fabulously located two bedroom, two bath, Non-Smoking apartment is situated in the Rue St. Jacques at the western edge of the fifth arrondissement, just one block from the Jardin du Luxembourg and just a few minutes from the Pantheon as well as renowned schools like the Sorbonne.
This fabulous apartment has undergone a complete renovation by an award-winning American designer. It offers a well-appointed living room that is furnished with the highest quality furniture, lighting and artwork. Its focal point is a magnificent 19th century fireplace with a gold leaf mirror above and crystal wall sconces. French antiques accent the space.
The original hardwood floors have been refinished and restored throughout, except in the bathrooms and kitchen which have tile flooring. High dramatic ceilings, crown molding and large windows are featured throughout. The kitchen, bathrooms and toilet are new. All the state-of-the-art appliances were chosen for design and ease of use. They include a refrigerator/freezer combination, stove, oven, microwave, dishwasher, washer, dryer, television and DVD player.
The master bedroom features a queen size bed with a custom-built storage arch. The second bedroom is furnished with two large twin beds that can be easily converted in to a king size bed.
From the large windows and the balcony facing west, you will enjoy a complete view over the convent (built in the 18th century) and its garden across the street as well as the Eglise St. Jacques du Haut Pas built in 1620. From the living room and one of the bedrooms that are accessed off the balcony, enjoy a glass of wine while taking in the sunset! (See the floor plan.)
Wake up to coffee and croissants which you can prepare yourself in the apartment's new kitchen or get from the downstairs patisserie; gourmet meals are just a step away with the convenience of the gourmet caterer located downstairs. Nearby shops are located within walking distance giving you the atmosphere of a local village.
You can easily walk to the picturesque rue Mouffetard street market where you will find great shopping, restaurants and cafes. You could also wander around the Jardin des Plantes or go to the nearby St-Germain-des-Pres located in the 6th arrondissement, and enjoy shopping at the great boutiques, or have a drink at a sidewalk cafe. A local guide to the neighborhood will be provided. Transportation is easy, either by the Metro/RER Luxembourg, the Metro Cluny/La Sorbonne or the bus, providing direct access to all major sites. Maps of bus and metro routes will be available to you.
Amenities include: refreshments upon your arrival; air conditioning for the hot days; maps and books of Paris; free phone calls; cable TV with CNN, BBC, and others; free high speed internet access as well as wireless WI-FI connection; and high quality linens and towels.
You will be greeted by our bilingual representative who will meet you at the apartment and walk you through the amenities of the apartment and the neighborhood. She will be just a phone call away should you need her. |
