Paris 16th – Foch – renovated 3-bedroom, 69 m² apartment

Engel & Völkers presents, just steps from Avenue Foch, in the highly sought-after Porte Dauphine area, this 69.49 sq m apartment (Carrez Law) combining qualities rarely found together in western Paris: the unaltered character of a 1908 building, an architect-led renovation completed in 2020, full southern exposure, and a level of tranquillity that contrasts with the proximity of the major avenues. Four rooms, two bedrooms, one bathroom and one shower room.

The renovation did more than simply refresh the property: it created a dialogue between the old and the contemporary, without either overshadowing the other. The restored mouldings, parquet floors, wood panelling and white marble fireplaces remain the focal points. Contemporary features have been incorporated around them with precision. 

The Haussmann-style building, constructed in dressed stone in 1908, rises over eight floors. Live-in concierge and lift.

The apartment is entered through a double security door, providing the level of security expected of a property of this standing. The deliberately dark vestibule creates contrast, with anthracite walls and full-height built-in storage. The entrance has the feel of a gallery.

The apartment is arranged in a sequence of rooms. The kitchen with dining area opens onto the living room through a wide sculpted opening. This separation of functions is rare in a four-room apartment of this size, where there is too often only one combined living area.

The ceilings are adorned with finely crafted cornices, the lower sections of the walls are clad in panelling, and the herringbone parquet flooring runs from one room to the next. The white marble fireplaces evoke the soul of the property. More than mere decoration, these features give each room a focal point.

The fitted kitchen has been designed in a soft, understated palette, with fine materials that blend into the wood panelling rather than compete with it.

The large windows face due south, overlooking a tree-lined courtyard.

The main bedroom is a true master suite. It has a private shower room, a fireplace, bespoke wood panelling incorporating a headboard and storage, and a dressing room concealed behind a sliding glass partition.

The second bedroom has full-height built-in cupboards. It can accommodate a child or guests, but is also ideally suited to a functional home office.

Both shower rooms have been finished with the same care, each with its own atmosphere, and both illuminated by an Art Nouveau stained-glass window featuring stylised rose motifs. Two distinct settings, but the same exacting standards of finish.

New double glazing, bespoke fittings, built-in storage in every room, complete refurbishment of the finishes, high-end appointments.

No work required at present. 

Liberal professions permitted.

A cellar completes the property.
