Ornate Beauty

Old-world luxury meets sophisticated modern design in this breathtakingly elegant three-bedroom home. Marvel at the beautifully intricate cornices, the gorgeous vintage mirrors atop ornate fireplaces and the parquet wooden flooring, or step outside and experience Paris at its very best. Located in the 8th arrondissement in the capital's so called 'Golden Triangle', a quick stroll in one direction will take you to the Seine, while the opposite will lead you to the Arc de Triomphe - or if you want to stay in, enjoy a drink in the building's beautiful shared garden. LIVING ROOM The formal living room acts as this home’s beating heart: right in the centre, its grandeur makes it a true standout. The elaborate parquet flooring, the panelled walls and moulded ceilings, the stylish but cosy furnishings – all are incredibly detailed, and all illuminated by a stunning chandelier and the light pouring in from the two full-height windows. Move through a set of doors to the right and arrive in the less formal sitting room, where a large sofa (which converts to a single bed) faces a TV atop the mantelpiece and a small table provides a place to host small meals or informal gatherings. DINING ROOM For the more dignified meals and gatherings, the dedicated dining room is the place to be: centred by a large ovate timber table sitting under an ornate chandelier, this is the perfect place for formal meals and entertainment. KITCHEN Where the living and dining rooms are intricate and embellished, the kitchen is sleek and modern. Boasting a large island finished with a black stone countertop and an overhang to accommodate two stools, there’s plenty of room to manoeuvre in here. Fully stocked with all the necessary amenities, budding chefs will have no trouble whipping up a degustation, either. BEDROOMS The principal bedroom is bright and welcoming, its plush queen-sized bed beckoning you in after a busy day of sightseeing. Admire the large floral print above the bed, and take advantage of the ample storage space in the wardrobe. The second bedroom also features a queen-sized bed, which faces a fireplace topped with sculptures and a stunning mirror. The final bedroom is actually the sitting room, where the sofa converts easily into a comfortable single bed. BATHROOMS The primary bathroom stuns immediately, adorned all in pearlescent while tiling complete with a square mosaic on the floor. In here you’ll find a walk-in shower and a wash basin, while the en-suite bathroom features a beautiful clawfoot bath and wash basin. There is a separate WC for convenience. WE LOVE The gorgeously intricate detailing in the formal living room, its panelled walls, ceiling mouldings and vintage mirrors evoking a decidedly palatial feel. **To rent this property, the minimum age requirement is 25 years old.** Home truths: No smoking, pets or parties.
