Paris XVIIe - Villa des Ternes - Triplex

Nestled in the greenery and tranquility of the Villa des Ternes, within a remarkable Art Nouveau hôtel particulier in brick and stone, built in 1904 by architect Albert-Jean Polart for the orientalist sculptor Henry-Louis Broise — whose singular history has left its mark on both diplomacy and French cinema — this beautiful six-room family triplex of 156 m2 (Carrez) captivates with its character, generous volumes, and nearly 16m2 private courtyard-terrace, a true rarity in central Paris. The apartment is spread across three levels: raised ground floor, first floor, and basement. On the ground floor: a spacious and bright south-west facing living room with 4 meters ceiling height, a dining room beneath a glass roof opening directly onto the private courtyard-terrace, and a fitted kitchen. On the first floor: a master suite with dressing room and en-suite bathroom, two additional bedrooms, a guest bathroom, as well as a spacious mezzanine level with a large closet. In the basement: a large bedroom with en-suite shower room, laundry area, and storage. The Villa des Ternes is one of the rare private residential lanes in the capital, its regulations prohibit commercial activity and liberal professions, guaranteeing absolute peace and quiet just steps from the bustle of Avenue des Ternes and the Marché Lebon. Cellar included. Parking spaces available to rent within the Villa. Completed in 1904, this hôtel particulier, whose architecture blends French, Italian and Arab ornamental influences, inspired by the 12th-century Palazzo della Zisa in Palermo, was once home to the Iranian ambassador before serving as the setting for Andrzej Żuławski's L'Important c'est d'aimer (1975) — the film for which Romy Schneider won the very first César Award for Best Actress.
