Description
Classic architecture from the late 19th century, this bourgeois building in the Palais de Justice district houses on the garden level a sumptuous 274 m2 duplex where the perfectly restored old elements recall the splendor of yesteryear.
Reimagined by an architect, this splendid inverted duplex is the result of a bold undertaking: to bring a modern yet refined style to a refined, upper-class residence. Contemporary furnishings sit alongside floor-to-ceiling mirrored fireplaces, superb cabinetry, rosettes, moldings, and marquetry. From the moment you enter, the spaciousness of the first level sets the tone with its impressive ceiling height. Entirely clad in marquetry parquet flooring with geometric patterns, the living area unfolds in two distinct sections. On one side, the living room features built-in cupboards with rounded niches and a white marble fireplace. On the other, a pristine kitchen opens at mid-height onto a generous dining room. The spaces flow seamlessly into a 17-square-meter Art Nouveau-inspired veranda, finished with beautiful cabochon tiles. Its large, metal-framed glass doors, accented with period ironwork, create a unique atmosphere, somewhere between a winter garden and an artist's studio. Flooded with light, it becomes a breath of fresh air and offers an escape to the outdoors. The garden is accessed via an elegant stone staircase, revealing an intimate courtyard in the heart of the city. A first bedroom, almost theatrical in design, completes this level. On the lower floor, the spaces are finished in terrazzo and house four en-suite bedrooms, two of which have access to an English courtyard, creating a direct link with the garden. A second kitchen, a laundry room, and a 79 m2 wine cellar complete this level.
A sumptuous setting, to invest in in the heart of the city.
