This bright and very stylish apartment, which has been featured in interior design magazines, enjoys a prestigious location on the Quai d’Anjou, on the Ile St. Louis, right in the very heart of Paris. One of the most charming and exclusive neighbourhoods in Paris, the Ile St. Louis has an excellent selection of local shops, boutiques and restaurants, and is also very convenient for exploring the many attractions the city has to offer. It is just a 5 minute walk to Notre Dame cathedral, the Marais and the Pompidou Centre.
The apartment is on the second floor of a stately 17th Century building, the Petit Hôtel Particulier de Marigny. Accessed via an impressive wrought iron gate into a charming, triangular, cobblestone courtyard, a beautiful, curved stone staircase brings you to the apartment on the second floor. The exceptional taste and charm of this private home are immediately apparent in the parquet floors, high ceilings, three marble fireplaces and the wonderful collection of original paintings and antiques. The large living room has both a dining area and a wood-panelled library/study with antique desk. The high windows with their gold and rose coloured drapes frame the exquisite view of the Seine and the right bank, particularly pretty at night with the lights of the Bateaux Mouches.
The dining room, shown on the floor plan, has recently been turned into a new second bedroom with a queen-size bed. The apartment has been featured in several interior design magazines. It is equally ideal as a romantic base for a couple, for a small group of friends or for executive accommodation. Amenities include intercom entrance device, cable TV (with international channels), a stereo/CD player, telephone with answer machine and a separate fax line and ADSL internet connection. Secure access to the building is by intercom entrance device and there is also a live-in custodian.
