The rue St-Jacques is a lively street in the heart of a popular Left Bank neighborhood. Just steps away are the Luxembourg Gardens where Parisians come to stroll, jog, play with their children or just relax with a good book.
Also within short walking distance are the Panthéon – the resting place of French statesman and scholars – along with a range of neighborhood cafés, restaurants, markets and shops. And the historic sights, museums and animated streets of the Latin Quarter and St-Germain-des-Prés are within easy reach.
This two-bedroom apartment is located on the 5th floor of a stately 19th-century building with elevator access. The apartment has been totally renovated with no expense spared by an award-winning American designer. The decor combines classic features with all modern conveniences and comfort. The apartment is light and bright with high ceilings, large windows and cream-colored walls. Pretty hardwood floors and crown molding accent a combination of stylish contemporary furnishings, fine lighting, artwork and antique pieces. Off the entry is the main room with living and dining areas. The focal point of this beautifully furnished room is its 19th-century fireplace with gold leaf mirror above and crystal wall sconces. Grouped in front is a pretty tan upholstered sofa, arm chair and oval wood coffee table complemented by antique pieces. Graceful curtains frame the French door with glass window that opens to a balcony with views over the neighboring St-Jacques church, the church convent and city rooftops. Adjacent to the sitting area is the wood dining table and chairs for 4 people. Behind is the fully-equipped kitchen with pale yellow ceramic tile floor, imported Portuguese stone counters and all new appliances. There are two bedrooms, both accessed off the entry. One has a queen bed and overlooks an interior courtyard. The other has twin beds (convertible to king) and French doors opening to the front balcony. Both are beautifully decorated with lovely linens, bedcovers and curtains. Each bedroom has its own bathroom. There is a shower and sink ensuite with the twin bedroom. Opposite the queen bedroom is a bathroom with American-style tub with shower and sink. Adjacent are separate toilet facilities for the apartment. The bathrooms feature designer fixtures and ceramics. An apartment furnished in the finest taste and style in a centrally-located Left Bank neighborhood. *Note: this is a non-smoking apartment. |
