Intrepid Elegance, by Veeve

In an arrondissement as bustling and lively as Paris’ 11th, it’s often a challenge to find a patch of tranquillity – so when you come across an apartment this sheltered and quiet, you know you’re onto a winner. Combined with the remarkable amount of outdoor space – a balcony and two terraces – this three-bedroom home is a veritable havre de paix.

LIVING & DINING ROOM
The wide-open, beating heart of this apartment is a study in bold design and generous outdoor living. Access the small balcony or the sprawling terrace for some sun and a view of the rooftops of the 11th. Inside, a blue velvet sofa catches the eye, and the azure theme continues throughout in six dining chairs surrounding the large table and the blue-accented bookcase. Continue through to the smaller sitting room that offers a medley of recreation, with books, CDs and a TV on offer.

KITCHEN
The colours of the ocean are all around in this home – and where the living area champions blue, the kitchen showcases green. Large and long and comprehensively stocked with amenities, the verdant backsplash tiling is the standout here, opposite a vibrant green feature wall with shelving for utensils and décor.

BEDROOMS
Each bedroom opens onto another large terrace, boasting a luxuriant lounge chair and a breakfast table. Like the living area, the principal bedroom doesn’t want for space. Boasting a queen-sized bed, a chest of drawers and twin bedside tables, take a moment to admire the trinkets from distant lands scattered across the room. A second bedroom introduces more boldness with hues of yellow and blue, offering a double bed and a large desk. The final bedroom doubles as a study, with a sofa bed and a shelf stacked with books and trinkets.

BATHROOMS
The primary bathroom is defined by an arresting mosaic of imported Iranian tiles, introducing colour and character to the space. This bathroom features a walk-in shower, wash basin and toilet, while a smaller bathroom offers a bathtub, wash basin and washing machine. A separate WC can be found near the entrance to the apartment.

WE LOVE
The enviable location – a short walk from Place de la Bastille, Place des Vosges and many other sights to see in the 11th arrondissement and Le Marais.

Home Truths:
No smoking, pets or parties. The apartment is located on the seventh floor and can be accessed by a lift. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home’s amenities.
