For Sale: Fractional Apartment in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés

Experience life in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés on historic Rue du Four. This 4-week fractional ownership property sits steps from Saint Sulpice and Saint-Germain-des-Prés churches, the storied tables of Café de Flore and Les Deux Magots and a short walk to Luxembourg Gardens.

This residence is undergoing a full renovation with completion expected late August. The apartment features classic Haussmann architecture with original wood floors, ceiling cornices and medallions, decorative fireplaces and wrought-iron juliet balconies.

Every room pairs contemporary pieces with genuine antiques for a feel that is authentically French and wonderfully comfortable. The living room features a Murano glass chandelier, a stunning linen sofa, an antique marble fireplace with gilded mirror and a scalloped brass antique coffee table. The adjoining dining area features custom cabinetry and a European oak dining table for eight beneath a second chandelier. The kitchen can be closed off by antique mirrored doors or left open, and mixes rich blue cabinetry with marble countertops and brass fixtures and Miele appliances.

The living quarters are a wonderful layout, with the primary bedroom separated from the two guest bedrooms and facing the back courtyard, affording privacy and intimacy. The room is anchored by a magical forest-motif wallpaper and features an antique fireplace, sitting area and king-size bed. The carpeted, inviting walk-in closet includes private lockers for each owner to store belongings between their stays. The large, elegant bathroom with dual antique vanities and spacious walk-in shower completes the suite.

The second bedroom features a queen size bed with botanical wallpaper flanked by built-in closets, a vintage dresser and chandelier. The third bedroom is a multipurpose den, with its velvet daybed to curl up with a book or watch TV and antique secretary desk by the window. The hidden trundle can be prepared as two singles or a queen for sleeping up to 6 in the apartment. Custom built-in cabinetry, vintage and designer lighting and luxury upholstery throughout.

Ownership here is four weeks a year, two fixed weeks and two floating to enjoy Paris in all its seasons. A California corporation holds title to the property, and shares can be sold, passed on to heirs, and enjoy the appreciation of the Paris fractional real estate market. Professional management handles everything between and around your stay; so ownership is about arriving, savoring and enjoying Paris, with all the details meticulously overseen by a local, professional team.
