A home bearing the stamp of exoticism in Paris
In the neighbourhood of La Butte aux Cailles, popular for its village atmosphere, this beautiful house of 300 m2, unsuspected from the street, cleverly enhances its peaceful location by treating itself to a liberal dose of exoticism within its walls. Unearthed in all four corners of the world, its noble materials convey a taste for distant lands combined with a touch of modernity.
You can’t see anything from the street. Nestling at the rear of a building, this house is hidden from prying eyes. When you step through the porch decorated with Balinese wood, you are immediately immersed in its special ambiance. Beyond the pretty courtyard with its exquisite fountain and lovely vegetalized wall, you enter a living-room framed by huge picture windows. With a ceiling 3.2 metres high, this outsize room features a superb parquet floor made of teak from Indonesia. Very warm with its fireplace and mineral hues, it reveals its personality in furnishings and a wealth of objects brought back from distant lands. It is prolonged by the kitchen which has adopted the same spirit and tones, conducive to a soothing, peaceful atmosphere. Further on, on the same floor, a bedroom is to be found with its bathroom, walk-in closet and private entrance. The upper floor is entirely dedicated to sleeping accommodation. Over 100 m2, two large suites offer comfort, harmony and generous proportions, framed by picture windows offering a plunging view of the garden around which the house is built. This little island of quietness with its white pebbles, teak walkways and lovely plants plays host to a large table and small lounge area in which to enjoy the open sky in all tranquillity. Finally, the basement dedicated to relaxation further extends this peaceful atmosphere. A lap pool made of lava stone from Papuasia and Indonesian limestone is accompanied by a hammam, sauna and gym. In this house, waves of serenity waft over each room, basking in light and incomparable charm…
“Designed on a tailormade basis by its owners who love to travel, it is a house which stands out for its volumes, generous light, lovely garden and magnificent plant covered wall. Easy to live in and very well-designed in terms of layout, it ensures a remarkably comfortable lifestyle, with the bonus of a superb relaxation area benefiting from a luxury very rare in Paris : a heated pool,” says Laetitia Ducoudré, who is handling the sale of the property.
