Campagne a Paris -20eme Paris

This stunning and unique architect-designed house is situated just east of the up and coming Ménilmontant quartier, close to the Père Lachaise Cemetery and Place Gambetta.

A short walk from here will bring you to Place Edith Piaf, where a road leads up a hillside to small, cobbled streets lined with the most charming houses with small private gardens - an area known to Parisians as La Campagne à Paris. With little traffic, there is an atmosphere of extraordinary calm and beauty – yet just a few minutes’ walk from the metro, and the frenetic city life just below.

The house, in many ways, is completely at odds with the many other quaint and traditional houses which line the streets here, but due to imaginative design using natural materials, and its position on the corner of a street, it works. With 250m2 of living space and huge windows at each level, every room is bathed in light, and the interiors are minimalist and extremely stylish with several unique designer pieces of furniture. A domotic lighting system and electric blinds and shutters on the many windows at all levels ensure that the house is not only very light, but also very private. There are many more high-tech features - including surround-sound music system throughout the house, with an I-pod dock in the kitchen, and a projector in the bedroom, set up so TV can be watched either in bed or in the bath!

Right at the top is a superb roof terrace with views over the rooftops of Paris and furnished with comfortable sun loungers, a dining area with barbecue, a jacuzzi, a surround-sound system and outdoor heaters. The house, or even just its terrace, can also be rented for special events, photo shoots etc.
