Description of the Harpe loft studio for sale

Rue de la Harpe is a charming, small street filled with buildings, many dating from the late 1700’s. The buildings are low and there is a wonderful feeling of friendliness and village atmosphere here. This is what makes it one of the most sought after streets in the Latin Quarter. As you can see from the photos, there are many charming bistros, restaurants and shops all around you.

Step into a beautiful old building off the charming rue de la Harpe to find the original exposed stonework in the lobby. Walk up to the first floor (no elevator) and step into this gorgeous apartment. It was remodeled by an Italian architect who used the space and light to the best possible effect. The use of space, finish and comfort are among the best we have seen.

Ahead of you stretches the apartment with beautiful, long teak parquet floors that reflect the sunlight from the large windows in the living room.

On your immediate left find the large, luxury bathroom, with sand blasted sliding glass door. Simple and elegant, the bathroom features an oversized shower with Jacuzzi jets, glass sink and toilet. The use of sandblasted glass and glass brick walls are beautiful touches, giving the room good natural light and a sleek finish.

Next in the apartment is the bedroom area, with a three-quarter height wall which separates this area from the rest of the apartment – a wonderful solution for privacy in this large studio and for natural light. Find an extra wide queen-sized bed and storage closets on each side, along with long Italian style dresser.

A long console for extra storage faces the bedroom and provides the transition into the kitchen. The kitchen is an Italian work of art and so practical! Find 2 facing sets of work islands, in pale yellow and teak, with stainless steel extractor, ceramic stove, microwave, convection oven, halogen lighting and every appliance you need to cook or entertain when in Paris. There is a refrigerator/freezer and plenty of storage and workspace – even a small shelf for utensils and a steel and glass column for condiments next to the bar. Against the far set of cabinets is a teak bar that faces the living room. There are 3 Italian stools in bright orange to contrast with the yellow cabinets, great for grabbing breakfast or simply enjoying company while fixing dinner.

Another console table is on the right hand wall where you find a flat screen tv and internet wireless so you can catch up on emails and stay in touch while you’re in Paris.
Now step into the piece de resistance, the spacious living and dining room. Two enormous windows open onto the street below, one of the delights of staying here. You enjoy watching Parisian life unfold below in the comfort of a beautiful home… and you are irresistibly drawn to talking walks outside, wandering the beautifully streets, having a coffee or meal nearby – savoring every momentyou’rein Paris.

A large comfortable sofa sits on the left, covered in chic beige linen. It converts to a very comfortable double sofa bed at night. The room is large enough for a longer sofa which could convert to two twin beds, depending on the owner’s desires. The architect has thought of everything and there is even an extraction hole drilled into the thick stone walls for an air conditioner on rare warm summer nights.

The large sunny windows which open onto this pretty street are a fantastic feature; nothing makes you feel more like you’re in Paris than to gaze out every morning and night and watch Parisian life below. What we love about this apartment is the mixture of old features since as the large windows and high ceilings with the contemporary kitchen and furnishings; it makes a very welcoming space to live in.

On the right hand wall is a round Italian pedestal dining table with four leather chairs, which can comfortably seat up to five. It fits beautifully into this modern space.

When we walked into the apartment for the first time, we fell in love with it and we think you will too.
