Description

A more than 300-m² reception apartment, in a 19th-century mansion house, between Avenue Victor Hugo and the Bois de Boulogne. This private mansion, built in the late 19th century, boasts a classic and sober façade typical of the Haussmannian era. Made of ashlar, the edifice rises up above its sleeper wall of rusticated masonry. The walls of the upper floors are adorned with pilasters crowned by Ionic capitals, while the windows are underlined by sculpted bas-reliefs depicting abundance.<br />After passing through the carriage gate, a sculpture by Jean-Baptiste Carpeaux depicting a goat and 4 cupids welcomes visitors. Opposite, a large, marble staircase with a remarkable wrought-iron balustrade leads to the first floor on which the property is located. It can also be reached via an elevator. The entrance is made up of a hall with grey and red marble flooring and could serve as the setting for sculptures or works of art. The ceiling height of 5 metres further enhances this majestic impression. Overlooking the street, a living room with a ceiling boasting very ornate moulding and wood-panelled walls could be used as an office or a bedroom. Two bathrooms open directly into this room. Opposite, there is a room into which light streams through a large glass roof typical of 19th-century galleries. It is fitted with Versailles wood stripped flooring and the oak wainscotting is enhanced by a Hubert Robert inspired overmantel mirror in the shape of a door. An adjacent dining room is followed by a kitchen and an office. An interior staircase leads to the second floor, which has two bedrooms as well as a bathroom. The master bedroom is located on the third floor, in the attic level, and boasts exposed metal beams that bestow an industrial aspect upon it. In the corner, there is a semi-open-plan bathroom.
