Duplex with character and open-sky view.

In the heart of Paris at its most literary and intellectual, on the border between the 5th and 6th arrondissements, lies an apartment, sold furnished, offering the rare privilege of living under the rooftops of Paris. The neighborhood is one of the most sought-after in the capital, renowned for the exceptional concentration of academic institutions: the École Normale Supérieure, the École des Mines, the Sorbonne, Jussieu, Assas, Lycée Louis-le-Grand, Lycée Henri-IV... Living here means being at the very center of Parisian knowledge and history. A rare location for a property that is just as rare. Here, “atypical” is a promise kept. On the 4th floor, accessed by stairs, in a beautiful early 19th-century building whose common areas were carefully renovated this year, the apartment spans 30.82 m² of floor area (21.22 m² Carrez), arranged as a duplex: a main living room with generous volumes, adorned with beautiful exposed beams and a remarkable ceiling height, followed by a sleeping area, intimate and poetic, tucked under the eaves. It is this double height, this volume extending to the ridge, that gives the place all its character. The apartment is also remarkably bright, bathed in the soft, constant light typical of a north-facing exposure. The view stretches high and far, over an open sky— a luxury only a top floor can offer. The street itself is exceptionally quiet for central Paris.   Property subject to co-ownership status Co-ownership of 9 lots Average annual charges:  €1,810 / year (2025) Property tax: €762 / year (2025) No proceedings in progress EPC: E (313 kWh/m²/year) - GHG: B (12 kgCO2/m²/year) Estimated annual energy costs for the dwelling: between €820 and €1,140 per year.
