Palatial by the Park

A truly grand hideaway on the edge of the Bois de Boulogne in the 16th arrondissement, this sophisticated home is an elegant home in an elegant neighbourhood. Boasting two gorgeous living rooms, a formal dining room and a bathroom for each bedroom, this two-bedroom haven represents the epitome of Parisian living. LIVING ROOMS The first living room is a more formal space, showcasing all the symbols of a traditionally Haussmannian interior – ceiling mouldings carved into an oval, chevron parquet floors, an ornate mirror set on the mantelpiece – mixed with modern soft furnishings. Exquisite art embellishes the walls, antique tables and armchairs dot the space, and a white piano reposes in the corner. The sofa in here can convert to a double bed. The second living room is more informal, featuring plush sofas and armchairs facing a widescreen TV. DINING ROOM Symmetry is achieved brilliantly in this dining room: a rustic oval dining table with room for six sits under an eclectic chandelier in the middle, while an exquisite antique cabinet commands attention behind it. Two blue vintage armchairs sit on either side of the room, and opposite, a feature wall is painted a similar dark blue. KITCHEN A contemporary enclave in a home with a taste for the traditional, this kitchen is geared towards modern cooking with black granite countertops, white cabinets and sleek appliances. All the amenities you’ll need are here, including a microwave, dishwasher and coffee machine. BEDROOMS The principal bedroom is a perfect refuge, with calm white panelled walls on one side and duck egg blue on the other. You’ll find a queen-sized bed in here, as well as a desk, bedside tables and lamps. The formal living room can be easily converted into a second bedroom, with the plush sofa extending into a double bed. BATHROOMS Right next to the principal bedroom sits the first bathroom, sleek and modern in grey tiles and featuring a shower, wash basin and toilet. The second bathroom can be found near the dining room, and contains a shower, toilet and wash basin. There is also a separate WC with a toilet and wash basin. WE LOVE The simultaneous symmetry and grandiosity of the dining room, with its beautiful antique dining table and ornate cabinet juxtaposing a modern chandelier and contemporary art. **To rent this property, the minimum age requirement is 25 years old.** Home truths: No smoking, pets or parties. The apartment is located on the fifth floor and can be accessed by a lift. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities. Please note, Property Manager homes are lived-in homes, which we think adds to their charm! Guests should, however, expect to find homeowner belongings and personal items within the property.
