For Sale: Top-Floor Duplex Near the Arc de Triomphe

Tucked away on a quiet street in one of the 17th arrondissement’s most desirable neighborhoods, this character-filled duplex offers a rare sense of calm just moments from the energy of central Paris. Set beneath the rooftops of an elegant 1840 stone building, the apartment combines generous natural light, original architectural details, and a wonderfully intimate top-floor setting, all within walking distance of the Arc de Triomphe, Rue Poncelet, and the cafés and food shops of Ternes.

Offering approximately 45 m² of weighted living space, the apartment has been thoughtfully arranged to make excellent use of every corner. The main level centers around a generous open-plan living area of more than 33 m², combining the living room, dining area, kitchen, and study space. Three large windows bring in plenty of natural light, while original oak parquet flooring, exposed beams, and cathedral-style ceiling heights of up to three meters give the space warmth and architectural character.

Upstairs, the bedroom and open-plan bathroom create a peaceful retreat beneath the roofline, with two windows offering open views of the sky. A fitted mezzanine provides useful additional space, while custom built-in storage and sliding wardrobes help maximize practicality throughout the apartment. Renovated in 2022, the property also benefits from a modern kitchen, double glazing, high-speed fiber internet, and access to a landscaped shared courtyard.

The building is secure, with entry controlled by Vigik, intercom, digital code, and a reinforced front door. With only two apartments on the top floor and no immediate neighbors, the property enjoys a particularly private and peaceful atmosphere for such a central Paris location.

The surrounding Ternes neighborhood is one of the most desirable areas of the 17th arrondissement, known for its village-like atmosphere, excellent food shops, cafés, restaurants, and strong transport connections. The apartment is also ideally positioned between Étoile, Porte Maillot, and La Défense, making it a highly convenient base for both central Paris and the wider business district.

With its top-floor position, bright interiors, period details, and exceptional location, this charming duplex would make an excellent primary residence, Paris pied-à-terre, or investment property.
