Parisian Grandeur Reimagined: A Custom-Designed 1909 Flat of Unrivaled Detail

This exceptional 1909 Parisian apartment offers a rare blend of historic charm and modern, custom-designed luxury, having undergone a meticulous two-year restoration and renovation. The flat was systematically rebuilt from the ground up, utilizing the highest grade materials available on the Parisian market. As the contractor noted, 'literally everything in this flat was custom made,' ensuring a level of detail and craftsmanship rarely found in residential properties. The comprehensive scope of work spanned nearly every element: from the essential infrastructure, including all new electric wires, main electrical panels, and copper and plastic plumbing pipes, to the final decorative touches. This commitment to unseen quality guarantees that the flat is not just aesthetically beautiful but structurally and functionally sound for the next century. The project was completed by a highly specialized team, including an Art Historian/University Professor and an expert in historic French châteaux, underscoring the artistic and technical rigor applied to the restoration.

The attention to detail in the finished elements is truly the defining characteristic of this apartment, a feature explicitly highlighted by French real-estate agents. The restoration embraced the property’s historical integrity while elevating its function. The original plank floors were painstakingly restored, complemented by eight different types of luxurious Italian ceramic tiling used throughout the kitchen, shower, and toilet rooms. All original doors were saved and refurbished, now enhanced by solid brass and nickel historic period door knobs and hardware. The plumbing and fixtures further illustrate this commitment to quality, featuring solid brass and nickel historic period faucets. Even the original fireplace and the common wall heaters—which efficiently keep the flat very warm all winter—were restored or integrated seamlessly into the design. Adding a layer of unique elegance are three sets of original horsehair ceiling moldings, which were skillfully preserved and re-integrated into the design.

The custom finishes and bespoke craftsmanship extend to every surface, ensuring both beauty and maximum comfort. The flat’s comfort is secured year-round by the installation of three layers of insulation in all windows and French doors, effectively ensuring both warmth and silence from the bustling city outside. The two larger balconies received new waterproof, outdoor flooring, and the balcony façade and ironwork were meticulously restored. The interior carpentry is a marvel of precision: over 300 pieces of wood were hand-cut to artistically conceal electrical baguettes, and decorative elements like baseboards and door casings feature custom combinations of ceramic tiles, teak, or decorative framing wood depending on the room. This custom design is most evident in the unique triangle theme that repeats and reflects across the flat—from cabinetry and closet cupboards to small triangle tables and even the wall stand for the period French grandfather clock—adding an intriguing, cohesive design element to the space.

The apartment’s functionality is enhanced by custom-made features and high-grade amenities that remain with the flat. The kitchen features a custom-designed counter and two clever, triangle-shaped vanishing cupboards, alongside solid teak cabinetry and shelving. Essential, high-quality appliances are included in the sale, such as the large refrigerator, dishwasher, clothes washer, oven, and stovetop range. The bathroom and toilet rooms feature a hand-molded ceramic shower floor, a new shower, and a new toilet. Security has been significantly upgraded with a new front door drum lock, five-point bar locks, and no-copy keys. Furthermore, a free TV cable has been installed for immediate connection. Beyond the fixed elements, the flat features three unique, hand-painted, photo-realistic ceiling murals, all framed by the original ceiling molding, which agents have whimsically noted for creating a sense of 'phantom gentle breezes.'

The building itself has also seen substantial recent investment, with the common interior areas completing their renovation this year, ensuring the entire structure meets a high standard. These upgrades include a new second security door, new mailboxes, and two new Digi-code entry pads for all residents. The building provides crucial shared amenities such as a lift and stairs leading to the 6th and final floor where the apartment is located, a designated bicycle room for owners, and a pleasant interior courtyard. Residents also benefit from access to a huge private/common garden. The flat’s location offers an unparalleled Parisian lifestyle, perfectly balancing seclusio
