Think French regency and you have a mental picture of highly decorated, gilded ceilings, opulent textiles and furnishings and even the odd chandelier or two. These elegant touches make up the theme in Rue la Bruyère, a divine three-bedroom home in the heart of Paris’ Theatreland. No detail has been spared in this apartment that combines those regal touches with contemporary functionality and comfort. Located in the 9th Arrondissement, it’s your home-from-home in the centre of one of the most charming cities in the world. You’re surrounded by art, culture, and good food, just a short distance from Montmartre and the boutique shopping of Pigalle.
If you love shopping, you’ll love the 9th Arrondissement. With its wide boulevards and flagship stores, this is where you’ll find the best of the best in French retail. But it’s not all ‘shop-til-you-drop’ in the 9th, as you’ll also discover plenty of cultural attractions here to entertain and delight you. From the ultra-modern extravagance of Le Centre Pompidou to the traditional glamour of Le Palais Garnier opera house, the 9th is a blend of urban sophistication and classic Parisian style, with some excellent eateries thrown in for good measure. Grab a coffee, a sidewalk table, and watch the world go by.
Throughout this impressive first-floor apartment, you’ll discover plenty of unique features that have been given the chance to shine, thanks to a sympathetic colour palette and careful design. The living room features red-and-black panelled stained glass windows and deliciously cosy seating. The kitchen manages to combine ornate classical cornicing with state-of-the-art culinary technology, while the dining room is a light and airy space with glass doors that open out onto Juliet balconies. The three bedrooms are opulent yet serene. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and an unusual feature in French homes, its own ensuite. The second bedroom also has a king-size bed, while the third bedroom has a double sofa bed and a snug reading corner. Two separate WCs and a bathroom complete the layout.
With neighbourhoods including Montmartre, Sacre-Coeur and South Pigalle to explore, opera and shows to entertain you, and the smell of fresh baguettes to wake you up in the morning, Rue la Bruyère gives you a true feeling for authentic Parisian living, with a little extra dash of opulence thrown in.
