For Sale: Create Your Dream Apartment in the Haut Marais

Yes, it needs renovation. This is not a move-in ready spot, but it is the dream apartment you can have with every detail just the way you want it.

Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Arts et Métiers district in the 3rd arrondissement (Le Marais), this exceptional corner apartment presents a rare opportunity to design your perfect residence in the heart of Paris.

Located in an elegant and well-maintained Haussmannian building with an elevator, the apartment combines timeless architectural charm with outstanding renovation potential. Zoned for both residential and professional (“professions libérales”) use, the property offers exceptional versatility. (This opens up all sorts of possibilities!!)

A SPACE FULL OF CHARACTER AND POTENTIAL

With approximately 3-meter-high (10 feet) ceilings, the apartment showcases beautiful original ornate moldings, generous proportions, and an abundance of natural light streaming through its large windows that offer open views of the Musée des Arts et Métiers. A wraparound balcony—an uncommon feature for a 3rd-floor apartment—adds to its charm. The current layout is semi-flexible offering numerous possibilities to tailor the space to your lifestyle. (Supporting walls vs non-supporting walls to create a varied floor plan.)

THOUGHTFUL LAYOUT AND FLOW

The layout includes three bedrooms (or two plus an office), a large kitchen with a window, and interconnected living and dining areas allowing for flexible use—whether as formal entertaining spaces, additional bedrooms, or a home office suite. All rooms are arranged off a central hallway for a smooth and logical flow.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY

Apartments of this caliber—combining location, light, character, and flexibility—rarely come to market at such a compelling price. This is an ideal opportunity for buyers looking to craft a home to their own specs in one of Paris’s most coveted districts.

Note: We recommend designer Martine di Mattéo who can make a property like this a real showplace!
