From movies like Midnight in Paris and Passport to Paris to shows like Emily in Paris, the City of Lights is a movie star with an impressive IMDB portfolio. Indeed, no matter what the storyline, it seems people of all generations never mind being transported to the magical capital of France via screen. But, many know the city isn’t cheap to experience in person. To buy here, especially, puts you in an elite category.
For millionaires and billionaires looking to put some roots down in this timelessly appealing place, a pricey treasure in the 4th arrondissement has listed for almost $32 million, or exactly €29.6 million. The townhouse tucked on a calm cul-de-sac spans 6,275 square feet and five levels, plus holds plenty of charming spaces and luxe amenities.
Hidden behind a grand porte cochère and covered in greenery, the home has an inviting and tranquil feel. As you step inside, its endearing presence unfolds with warm materials interweaved throughout and spaces sunkissed all day by natural light. You might expect to find rooms like the glassy solarium or cozy bedrooms with wood beam ceilings, but there are some unexpected surprises in store, too. Most of all, the indoor pool. While it’s not big enough for Olympic events, upcoming Olympians may be jealous of how clean and sparkling it looks compared to the Seine River. Some races were supposed to take place in the city’s iconic river, but unsafe levels of E. coli recently found in the water have put that in question.
Whether a buyer fantasizes about the luxury of taking a swim in the morning year-round or hosting candlelit summer dinner parties in the garden, they can undoubtedly have a fairytale Paris experience here. Margot Royer-Boquillon of Sotheby’s International Realty represents the listing.
