Less
than ten minutes from the shops, cinemas, and restaurants
of the Champs Elysees and served by metro station George
V, this luxuriously large apartment is bathed in light
and offers two charming and inviting flower-filled garden
terraces, perfect for al fresco dining among clinging
vines above the rooftops of Paris. Centrality is essential:
supermarket, wine shop, and bakery are all just around
the corner, and the glory here—the ultimate luxury—is
the proximity (just a few minutes’ walk) to the
utterly charming, historic Parc Monceau, a Romantic
garden of floral peace and beauty, an island of green
peace inside the bustle of Paris.
The
apartment is in Paris’ chic 8th arrondissement
up above the city on the 6th and 7th floors, and with
only two tenants per floor, at opposite ends of a
long hall, guests are assured of total privacy. The
two bedrooms plus a den with sofa-bed, living room
and dining room, exquisite entry and contemporary
kitchen are decorated with the owner’s collection
of Latin American, Middle Eastern, and Southeast Asian
artworks and antiques. But the apartment’s grandest
works of art is perhaps the Eiffel Tower, which stands
across the Seine in astonishing, unobstructed view
greeting you when you open your eyes and sparkling
in lights before you as you go to sleep.

Property
Description
Kitchen
 A
completely modern kitchen of clean whites
and lovely light woods with a charming view
across flowers and vines to the lower terrace.
The exquisite black-and-white breakfast table
in the corner is made with Italian inlaid
terrazzo. Oven, microwave, dishwasher, Nespresso
coffee machine.
Master
Bedroom
 The
master bedroom, upstairs, painted a delicate,
calm turtle-dove taupe, has a queen-sized
bed with a brown leather headboard. Lovely
artwork hangs above the bed. French doors
lead out below an arc of vines to the large
upper garden terrace.
Bedroom
 Painted
a pale, delicate green, this lovely bedroom
has a full-sized bed as well as a private
balcony on which sit a small table and chairs
perfect for quiet coffee and pastries and
a newspaper, or perhaps a private glass of
champagne. The bedside table lamps are made
from antique ginger jars, and a Botero print
given to the owners by the artist himself
hangs on the wall, with an antique wooden
chair decorating the corner.
LivingRoom
A
wonderfully large, airy space bathed in light
with a full, unobstructed view of the Eiffel
Tower, and guests dine in the dining area
evenings before the fully-lit, glowing turn-of-the-century
beauty and breakfast before it lit by the
morning sunlight. The living room area, filled
with artworks and classic Parisian furnishings,
works of art and Persian carpets, opens on
the west side to the lower terrace, the smaller
of the two terraces, with its own beautiful
view of the Eiffel Tower. The coffee table
is an antique opium bed from Indonesia, complimented
by an 18th century French butchers table of
marble, brass and metal bought at the Paris
Flea Market in pristine condition and a large
piece of antique Indonesian fabric, mounted
on a frame, originally worn by Indonesian
men for their weddings. A stereo, TV, and
DVD entertainment system in the living room
flow music to the terrace for outdoor dinners
and parties. On the east side of the living
room is the den with its own sofa bed and
closet; doors to the living room can be closed
completely, creating a completely separate
room and assuring total privacy. Step out
onto the den’s balcony, which runs the
entire south side of the apartment, to watch
the Eiffel Tower.
