PARIS II – SENTIER / MONTORGUEIL Located in the heart of the Sentier district, just a few steps from the highly sought-after Rue Montorgueil and its many shops, cafés, and restaurants, this rare private townhouse is tucked away on a charming pedestrian street. The setting offers a privileged balance: peaceful and discreet, yet fully immersed in the lively rhythm of the neighborhood. Built before 1830, the house has retained the distinctive character of historic Paris. Exposed beams, warm proportions, and an intimate atmosphere give the interior an authentic charm typical of the capital's older residences. The living area is arranged around an open kitchen connected to the dining space, while the living room is located upstairs, creating a welcoming and convivial setting ideal for entertaining. The sleeping quarters consist of a spacious bedroom complemented by a mezzanine, providing a layout that is both comfortable and practical. Built-in wardrobes and cleverly designed storage enhance the functionality of the space. With its full south-facing orientation, the home benefits from abundant natural light throughout the day. On the lower level, a laundry room adds everyday convenience. A cellar and a wine cellar also form part of the property. Beyond its existing qualities, the house offers development potential that is particularly rare in Paris. The possibility of adding an additional level, together with the potential creation of a private terrace, presents exciting opportunities for expansion or long-term value enhancement. The property also has a unique artistic history. Between the 1960s and the 1990s, it served as the residence of Boris Kochno, a close collaborator and assistant to the famed impresario of the Ballets Russes, Sergei Diaghilev. During that period, the house was reputed to be literally covered in artworks from floor to ceiling and frequently welcomed leading figures from the art world who came to visit someone regarded as a custodian of Diaghilev's cultural legacy. Even today, the façade offers an unexpected artistic touch: it features one of the signature mosaics by the street artist Invader, adding a contemporary creative note to this historically rich address. Situated on a street included in the “Paris Respire” initiative, the area is largely pedestrian, creating a calm and pleasant environment within a vibrant neighborhood known for its quality of life, lively shops and restaurants, and its distinctive village-like atmosphere in the center of Paris. An unusual and character-filled property combining heritage, a sought-after address, and remarkable development potential—ideal for those seeking a distinctive home in the historic heart of Paris.
