This three-bedroom apartment is situated on the first floor of an 18th century ‘hôtel particulier’ on Ile St. Louis. Originally the town house for a noble family, the building is a classified historic monument. Entrance to the building is via an attractive paved courtyard with plants. A short flight of steps lead up to the front door, raising the height of the floors and thus allowing for wonderful views of the Seine and the Left Bank. The accommodation is quiet, sunny and very well located for shopping and restaurants, as well as art galleries, a pharmacy, several mini-markets and the post office. The Louvre, the Pompidou Centre, the Sainte Chapelle, the Left Bank and the Marais are all within an easy walk.
With elegant furnishings, exposed ceiling beams, cut stone flooring and antique furniture, the interiors combine the charm of ‘le Grand Siècle’ with modern comforts. The living room has been restored in the style of the Louis XVI era and features the original sculpted wall panels, large Louis XVI mirror, deeply inset bookcases, chandelier and parquet floors. There is a dining area with antique round table and chairs, and tall leaded glass windows provide light and a beautiful view of the Seine. The superb master bedroom, also on this floor, has a Louis XV style bureau, a marble fireplace, surmounted by a mirror and wall panel with painted landscape. There is also a view of the Seine from the tall window.
Further amenities include cable TV (with international channels), stereo with CD player, telephone and wi-fi internet access. The building is accessed by intercom entrance device.
