Steps from Maison de Balzac lies this fabulously evocative three-bedroom apartment. One of France’s most cherished literary icons, Honoré de Balzac’s work was grounded in realism chronicling everyday Parisian life in all its glory. Fortunately, those eagerly seeking the authentic Paris experience are in luck at this entrancing third-floor home which boasts superlative views across the refined Rue de Passy. Here, you’re in the beating heart of the 16th arrondissement, just moments from the high-end fashion district of Passy and the bucolic Jardin du Ranelagh - one of Baron Haussman’s crowning glories during his 19th-century reinvention of this most beguiling of cities...
LIVING ROOM & DINING AREA
Bright and warmly inviting, elegant casement windows draw in light to accentuate the generous living space within. Exhibiting a range of textures and styles, the primary colour palette of the furniture seamlessly blends with the celestial clean lines of the walls and statement bookshelf. Ebullient pendant lighting adds a flourish to the mid-century inspired dining space, offering enticing views across the street beyond.
KITCHEN
Adjoining the dining area, the spacious and fully equipped modern kitchen is masterfully minimalist, featuring a unifying white aesthetic that creates an effortless sense of flow.
BEDROOMS
The three bedrooms are accessed via a hallway that hosts a snug home office area where luminous windows and a calming natural aesthetic encourage instant relaxation. Irresistibly soporific with its soothing whitewashed walls, the principal suite offers a capacious double bed, wall-mounted TV and a smart contemporary bathroom with a walk-in shower and wash basin. Space abounds in the second bedroom which hosts two single beds suitable for children, a desk and a coffee table. The third bedroom offers another child's single bed set against a brid themed wallpaper, a desk and a bookshelf.
BATHROOMS
Suffused in serenity courtesy of its neutral hues and gentle lighting, the main family bathroom offers a bath and built-in shower, WC, wash basin and a heated towel rail. A separate WC can also be found further down the hallway.
WE LOVE
The picturesque village vibes of Passy where you can wander hidden side streets to discover some of the best views of the Eiffel Tower across the Seine (it’s well worth the climb up the Chaillot hill...)
