This Space
The Marais Bastille, a newly renovated Parisian apartment with a private balcony, is located in a typical Haussmanian building, constructed in 1900 and classified as a historical monument. This three-bedroom Paris rental is centrally located in the Marais on a quiet side street in a highly sought-after neighborhood filled with trendy cafés, restaurants, shops, and markets. The apartment is a short walk from the Place des Vosges, Bastille, Île Saint-Louis, Seine River, Bastille Opera House, and within walking distance to all of central Paris.
Upon entering the apartment, you will love the gorgeous, herringbone hardwood floors and many original details such as the decorative marble fireplaces, crown moldings, and ornate mirrors.
The natural light that floods in through floor-to-ceiling windows and the east and west exposures allow for perfect light all day long.
The foyer and hallway are decorated with original period drawings, retro lighting fixtures, a coat rack, and an antique commode.
The lovely eat-in, and fully equipped kitchen; an eclectic mix of original wainscoting, tiled fireplace, crown moldings, decorative wall murals, a Scandinavian-style buffet, and the industrial dining table make for an inviting and original space. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed to make tasty breakfasts, afternoon snacks or a full-on French dinner feast. From the quartz countertops and induction stovetop to convection oven, dishwasher, microwave and Nespresso machine, every detail has been carefully planned. The kitchen is located between the living room and 2nd bedroom and all rooms have large double doors that can close allowing for privacy or open, letting in the natural Parisian light.
