While it might bear all the hallmarks of a typical Haussmannian residence, with its venerable, grand and imposing proportions, this five-bedroom property in the chic 16th arrondissement has been carefully reconfigured to offer the most modern of living spaces.

Located on the coveted 2nd floor, accessible by elevator, this elegant apartment is the height of contemporary design - with the kitchen now central to the layout and the ceilings lowered to accommodate high-spec audio, lighting and air-conditioning systems.

The beautifully spacious lounge has been built around the fireplace focal point; the fully-fitted luxury kitchen offers the best Bulthaup appliances; and as well as five stylish bedrooms there are seven luxurious bathrooms.

Other highlights include a connected guest studio with private entrance, as well as the option of a staff room on 6th floor, and there is a secured garage for two cars complete with vehicle turntable.

Surrounded by world-famous museums, parks and iconic wide boulevards, the apartment is located in the heart of the 16th arrondissement - Paris' most prestigious district - on the charming avenue that links the Trocadero with Place Victor Hugo.
