JOSÉPHINE

Renovated by the architectural firm Un Jour d'Avril in 2025, it is the result of a successful rehabilitation that blends the nobility of the past with contemporary style. The entrance door, standing alone on the landing, is a true work of art in itself, painted like a theatrical set with velvet curtains, announcing the arrival of a property with a unique character. A central axis distributes the spaces, revealing a singular and perfectly balanced layout. On either side, the double living room is highlighted by two double doors adorned with original stained glass, facing each other. One opens onto the living room and its custom-built library, the other onto the dining room, immediately establishing an elegant dialogue between the reception areas. This unusual layout gives the space remarkable clarity and a fluid flow. On the southeast side, the living room stands out as a generous reception room, bathed in light thanks to its three large wooden windows that respect the original design. The sitting area, enhanced by a period marble fireplace and herringbone parquet flooring, also includes a custom-built library and a study area, creating a welcoming and refined space. Adjoining this is a room converted into a dressing room with distinctive wallpaper, which extends into a study nook. A spacious en suite bedroom, adorned with antique terracotta tiles, a marble fireplace, and a bathroom with elegant finishes, completes the ensemble. In perfect symmetry, on the northwest side, the authentic and historic kitchen retains its original green-toned tiles and incorporates a fresco by the artist David Dellepiane, a member of whose family was once a resident of the property. The different eras blend harmoniously, notably through a 1970s worktop whose design lends the space an atmosphere reminiscent of an English cottage. Adjoining this is the dining room, a true reception room. Accessible through its own double doors with original stained glass, it features herringbone parquet flooring, a bar area, and moldings enhanced by a spectacular chandelier made of pink glass tubes, creating a striking visual statement. This same wing houses a second, parallel room containing an English-style study adorned with distinctive wallpaper, which could easily be converted into an additional bedroom as needed. The two rooms share a shower room, providing discreet and functional comfort at the heart of the apartment. A final bedroom, distinguished by its freestanding marble fireplace, also includes an en-suite shower room.
