In the heart of Villa des Ternes, a private and gated residential enclave in Paris' 17th arrondissement, tucked behind the wrought-iron gates that have protected this confidential neighbourhood since the 19th century, we present a 156 sqm apartment (Carrez law) spread over three levels within a former private mansion dating from 1904. This remarkable building, designed by architect Albert Polart for a renowned sculptor, draws its inspiration from the Zisa Palace in Palermo. Its architecture blends the volumes of a medieval Sicilian palace with Art Nouveau ornamentation, visible from the recently restored brick and stone façade. The building, part of a small and well-maintained condominium, retains the intimacy and character of a private residence. The apartment is arranged on the raised ground floor around a generously proportioned living room that recalls the building's original purpose. A dining room, a kitchen with a winter garden-style glass roof opening onto a private courtyard, two bedrooms, a study and a dressing room are distributed between this level and the upper half-level. A mezzanine provides additional space. The lower level accommodates a further bedroom with built-in wardrobes, a bathroom and a laundry room. In total, the apartment features three bathrooms. Villa des Ternes is a place apart in Paris. Founded in 1822 by François Toussaint Verzy on the site of the former Château des Ternes, this leafy enclave has been governed since its inception by regulations that prohibit commercial activities and professional practices, preserving absolute residential tranquillity just a few hundred metres from the bustling Avenue des Ternes. Tree-lined lanes, individual houses with gardens and abundant greenery create the atmosphere of a country retreat in the very heart of the capital. The location combines this peacefulness with excellent transport links: Argentine metro station (line 1) within a seven-minute walk, Porte Maillot and the Palais des Congrès within five minutes, and RER C and E lines close by. The covered Ternes market, local shops and the reputable schools of the 17th arrondissement complete an environment perfectly suited to family life. The renovation potential of this property matches its address and its history. An adjoining 72 sqm apartment may also be acquired separately, bringing the total to over 225 sqm. A cellar completes the property.
