DESCRIPTION

PARIS II – SENTIER / MONTORGUEIL

Ideally located in the Sentier district, just steps from the highly sought-after Rue Montorgueil and its many shops and restaurants, this rare private townhouse is set on a charming pedestrian street.

It enjoys a peaceful setting while remaining at the heart of the neighborhood’s vibrant energy.

Built before 1830, the property reflects the charm and character of historic Paris.

Exposed beams, welcoming volumes, and a warm atmosphere create an interior full of authentic appeal.

The main level features an open kitchen extended by a dining area, while the living room is located on the upper floor, forming a convivial living space well suited for entertaining.

The sleeping area includes a spacious bedroom complemented by a mezzanine, offering both comfort and practicality.

Built-in storage and closets complete the space, thoughtfully designed to maximize organization.

Its south-facing orientation provides pleasant natural light throughout the day.

The basement contains a functional laundry room, making everyday life more convenient.

A cellar and a wine cellar also complete the property.

Beyond its current features, the house offers particularly attractive development potential—something rarely found in Paris.

A vertical extension could be considered, along with the possible creation of a private terrace, opening the door to additional living space or significant value enhancement.

The property also carries a notable artistic and historical dimension.

Between the 1960s and 1990s, it was the residence of Boris Kochno, a close collaborator and assistant to the renowned director of the Ballets Russes, Sergei Diaghilev.

At that time, the house was said to be entirely covered with artworks from floor to ceiling and regularly hosted prominent figures from the artistic world visiting someone considered a guardian of Diaghilev’s cultural legacy.

Today, the façade still bears a distinctive artistic signature: one of the iconic mosaics by the street artist Invader, adding a contemporary creative touch to this historic setting.

Located on a street included in the “Paris Respire” initiative, the address offers a particularly pleasant living environment that is largely pedestrian.

The neighborhood is renowned for its lively atmosphere, its many shops and restaurants, and its village-like spirit in the heart of Paris.

A rare and character-filled property combining heritage, a prime address, and exceptional development potential—ideal for those seeking a unique residence in historic Paris.
