Description
Late 19th-century architecture, this Marseille building from 1870 houses on its 3rd floor without elevator an elegant corner apartment of 150 m 2 extended by a terrace of 15 m 2. A true inhabited work of art, a few steps from the Cours Eugène Pierre and the Palais Longchamp.
Renovated by the architectural firm Atelier MAD in 2019, the apartment stands out for its generous volumes, distinctive features, and distinct spaces with their own distinct identity. The charm of the past is intertwined with a contemporary feel, driven by shades of blue and yellow as a common thread. Upon entering, the gaze is drawn to the living areas, where moldings and fireplaces create a sophisticated and timeless decor, warmly adorned with Marseille-style terracotta tiles blended with solid blond oak parquet and cabochon tiles.
Entirely open to the room, the kitchen was designed by a carpenter and is organized around a generous Oberflex worktop which extends towards the living room, freed up by an IPN which reveals the full depth of the volume.
The space extends into a second living room/office, adorned with a majestic original glass roof, a centerpiece and architectural signature of the place. It punctuates the space and faces a custom-made library. The whole opens onto the longitudinal planted terrace, like a breath of greenery in the heart of the city.
Further on, a hallway structures the sleeping area, perfectly separated from the reception areas. Three bedrooms share a bathroom, and the master suite, with its integrated dressing room and shower room with black accents, graphic and elegant, offers a peaceful and confidential atmosphere.
A cellar completes this exceptional place.
A parenthesis with poetic accents.
