A renovated Art Deco house and its terrace overlooking the neighbouring rooftops of townhouses in the 16th arrondissement of Paris. The district is famous for its picturesque villas, such as the two adjoining residences. These 'single-family country and leisure houses' are based on a concept that originated in Europe at the end of the 19th century. The house for sale dates back to 1928. On either side of its facade, there are buildings of less than three storeys. The brick elevation on the street side has two storeys, one of which is in the roofspace. Beneath the raised ground floor, there are two window wells illuminating the cellar. The L-shaped layout and adjoining courtyard provide the home with natural light from both sides. The boundary wall at the back is covered with greenery. The street facade displays an asymmetrical articulation. A horizontal glass-paste frieze runs along the ground floor wall, underlining the glazed entrance door to the house with wrought iron grilles, which is topped by an arched iron and glass transom.
Two prominent windows of different widths flank the entrance door. The openings are enhanced by painted sills, transoms and lintels. There are three symmetrical windows on the first floor, the one in the centre is topped by an eyebrow cornice extending over the two side windows. On both floors, all the windows are fitted with protecting wrought-iron guardrails and metal shutters. The facade is elevated by a brick parapet wall supporting the zinc lower slope of the roof. Finally, five tall roof windows light up the top floor.
Four steps lead from the front door up to the ground floor of the house, which has a ceiling height of around 2.8 m. To the right, on the street side, there are two adjoining rooms, a guest lavatory and a shower room. A third room, a dining room and a fitted kitchen open onto the leafy courtyard; further lavatories can be accessed via a short passage.
Nearby, a straight staircase leads down to the cellar. It is divided into four rooms, two of which are ventilated and lit by window wells. The height under the concrete slab ceiling is almost 2 m. A gas-fired boiler, which generates heating and domestic hot water, is housed in a technical room. All the rooms have reversible air conditioning.
From the ground floor, a balanced half-turn staircase leads to the first floor. On the street side, there are a kitchen, a sitting room and a bedroom. On the courtyard side, the storey contains two bedrooms opening onto a balcony, one of which has an en-suite bathroom. In between, they share a lavatory served by a corridor.
From here, the staircase leads to the second floor. The upper landing with guest lavatory leads to a studio flat on the courtyard side including a shower room and a small kitchen, followed by a living room lit from the street side by five skylights, an open-plan kitchen and a bedroom facing the courtyard with its own steam shower.
Finally, the staircase climbs up to the roof terrace, which is bordered by bamboo planters and green roofs. Extending over roughly 62m², it has a straight strip hardwood floor.
