The 2024 Paris Olympics are in full swing, showcasing the best of the best athletes from around the globe. And, while the games will come to an end soon, the Olympians are far from the only awe-inspiring treasures to find in the City of Light. Right now, a magical Paris apartment is asking $3.763 million (€3.5 million) and deserves to make it onto the podium for best Paris pied-à-terre under $5 million. Perhaps with their gold medal winnings, an Olympian who wants a permanent place in the city could nab the two-level, 1,720-square-foot spread.
Located in 5th arrondissement near Notre Dame, the property is exceptional. Unfolding on the top floors of an upscale, circa-1851 building, the four-bedroom perch presents stunning views of the city. While it will need some renovations and tender upkeep, the interior is the quintessential, historic Paris apartment. Charm overflows throughout, from the curved staircases and exposed wooden beams to the classic casement windows. The contrast between the dark walls and the natural light create an artistic, relaxing environment. With any necessary remodeling, fashionable customizations can also be implemented if a buyer wants to infuse their own flair.
To top it all off, the building’s entrance from the street is through hefty, wooden double-doors. They open to a cobblestone courtyard and grand stone facade, does it get more Paris than that?
While we can’t all be Olympians, well-to-do visitors who enjoyed being in Paris for the games could see this as the ideal souvenir. Paris Ouest Sotheby’s International Realty holds the trophy listing.
