A unique country home close to the Invalides, Paris

Built for Monsieur, brother of King Louis XVI, Duke of Provence and future King Louis XVIII (1755- 1824), this 18th-century house and garden in a bucolic setting look like they might have been plucked from the Normandy countryside and deposited in the centre of the residential 7th arrondissement. The former home of the composer Cole Porter and later the British-French financier James Goldsmith, the property, with a total living space of 800 sq.m. (8,600 sq.ft.), is mostly spread over two levels, offering multiple exposure, an open outlook and total privacy. It features 3 large reception areas, a remarkable master suite with its own living room, study and gym, and 9 bedrooms. It opens onto a private,190 sq.m. (2,045 sq.ft.) cobbled courtyard and a 550 sq.m. (5,920 sq.ft.), non-overlooked, south-facing garden. "It's like living in the country with the luxury of being in the middle of Paris", says Nicolas Hug of Menager-Hug, the agents handling the sale.
