Description
An artist apartment steps away from the Parc des Buttes-Chaumont
Converted from a former locksmith factory dating back to the 1930s by an architect, this duplex offers a peaceful and bright living space, close to the parc des Buttes-Chaumont and the Canal de l’Ourcq.
Located in a rear courtyard on the ground floor, this 70 m² apartment spread over two levels offers the spatial experience of a house.
An entrance with storage leads to a bright, airy living space with an 8-meter high ceiling, featuring a south-facing living room that extends to a 15 m² landscaped terrace, a dining area, and a semi-open kitchen. A spacious bathroom with a walk-in shower completes this level.
Accessed via a minimalist white lacquered metal staircase, the mezzanine floor houses a large bedroom flooded with light thanks to a generous skylight, which overlooks the living room through a workshop-style glass partition, allowing light to pass through the space. The bedroom is bordered by a large built-in wardrobe on one side.
The apartment also offers plenty of storage. Its flexible layout can accommodate up to three bedrooms.
The apartment enjoys a peaceful and preserved environment in a vibrant neighborhood, situated between Parc de la Villette, Canal de l’Ourcq, and Buttes-Chaumont Park, all within walking distance.
It benefits from numerous local shops and is served by lines 5 and 7bis of the Paris metro.
A minimalist renovation
Fully renovated by an architect in 2016, the apartment boasts bright spaces with carefully selected furnishings and materials. Some original features, such as exposed brick and white-painted metal structures, are highlighted by the minimalist design approach, blending contemporary living with an industrial spirit. Smart home features, including air conditioning and underfloor heating, ensure comfort throughout the year.
The large original skylights provide consistent natural light throughout the day, reminiscent of an artist’s studio.
