A third floor flat in a renovated 17th century building on the Left Bank, between Boulevard Saint-Germain and the Seine, in the Lycée Henri IV catchment area. The double entrance door to the building is flanked by a shop on either side. The elegant facade is rendered. It comprises four columns of windows and three floors above the ground floor plus an attic level. In the pure 17th century style, the edifice features wrought iron guard-rails on the first and second floors and arched cross windows on the third floor. The varying hight of the different levels is typical of the classical period. The U-shaped building has a central patio with opus incertum stone paving, like the floor of the entrance. An iron grille protects the access to the patio. The staircase with its stone steps and risers opens onto the patio. A lift with moulded oak panelling facilitates access to all five floors. The entrance of the flat leads into a hallway. A few steps up, a door opens into the fitted and equipped kitchen. The living room enjoys a double exposure to the street and the patio. At the back, a corridor leads to the lavatory, a wardrobe, a storage room, a shower room and a bathroom. On the left, the first bedroom. A few steps further down, the second bedroom has built-in cupboards. Hot water and heating are provided by a gas-fired boiler.
