Description
Classic 18th century architecture, this incredible 248 m2 triplex, located on the ground floor in the heart of the Antiques district, is a true gem whose historical heritage has been preserved and perfectly mixed with a more contemporary touch.
Revisited by interior designer Chrystel Laporte for ARCHIK, it is the result of a bold gamble: bringing a modern touch to an upper-middle-class setting. The result is a warm, family-friendly living space. Contemporary furniture features sit alongside listed fireplaces and frescoes, superb cabinetwork, ornamental stucco, and beautiful marquetry featuring distinctive woods and patterns. The entrance sets the tone and opens on one side to a reception room enhanced by ceilings with rare richness of moldings and frescoes. To the west, a bold, immaculate, spacious, and family-friendly kitchen is located in a former reception room. Widely open to the outdoors and bathed in light, it plays on its candor with a lemon-yellow metal staircase designed by designer Axel Chay, a completely offbeat touch. Subtly, it leads to a pleasant 27 m2 terrace overlooking the setting sun, where a large table and lounge area blend together in a Mediterranean spirit.
Centrally located, the wooden staircase leads to the first level, where a sleeping area adorned with light oak floors and marble fireplaces is revealed. To the west, a spacious bedroom with a white marble fireplace enjoys unobstructed views of the heart of the block and opens onto a simple, contemporary bathroom. To the east, two bedrooms share a pristine bathroom.
To complete this beautiful picture, the lower level accommodates a vast space of 120 m2 offering a TV lounge that can also serve as a fourth bedroom and a second reception area benefiting from a kitchen and a large counter to host festive evenings. An office space, a bathroom and a large laundry room complete this level.
A noble urban setting with a crazy allure.
