Mellow Joy, by Veeve

While it might be the smallest of Paris’ districts, the 2nd arrondissement more than punches above its weight when it comes to intrigue and culture. From its distinguished Grand Boulevards, covered shopping arcades and world-renowned opera houses, it’s an undeniable delight. The propitious location is just a small part of the allure of this captivating one-bedroom apartment, the essence of enlightened Parisian charm with its genteel interiors...

LIVING ROOM
Grand, double panelled doors beckon you into the spacious reception room. Gracefully relaxing with its comfortable chenille sofas, a carefully curated bookshelf and rustic coffee table, the space is overlooked by classic portrait art. Floor-to-ceiling windows help accentuate the high ceilings and parquet floors, imbuing this space with real warmth.

KITCHEN & DINING AREA
Accessed through the rarefied entrance hall, featuring a bijou dining table, the smart modern, galley-style kitchen is a study in contrast with crisp white units that reside harmoniously above the earthy wood hues of the worktops.

BEDROOM
A celestial window wall judiciously partitions the principal bedroom from the hallway. An expansive mirror helps illuminate this reposeful space with light. Offering a large double bed, playful floral wall prints and absorbing objets d’art (those wood shoe carvings above the bed for starters...) provide a tantalising reminder of your proximity to some of Paris’ finest art galleries and antique emporiums.

BATHROOM
Neutral hues and gentle ambient lighting bring a sense of soothing calm to the bathroom, equipped with a walk-in shower, wash basin and washing machine. A cracked charcoal marble effect brings a contemporary edge to the separate WC, found further down the hallway.

WE LOVE
The clever use of zoning that infuses this property with soul and embellishes the quintessential Parisian charm, all the while bringing a degree of privacy to each room.

Home Truths:
No smoking, pets or parties. Please note, this apartment is situated on the first floor with no lift access. The apartment also overlooks a building dome, which is typical of French architecture and first-floor homes.
