Hot on the Market: A Sunlit One-Bedroom in Village Popincourt

In Paris, the number of square meters tells only part of the story. What really matters is how those square meters make you feel—and how beautifully they work.

This charming one-bedroom apartment on rue Sedaine, in the lively Village Popincourt neighborhood of the 11th arrondissement, is a perfect example. Owned by one of our past search consultants, who knows property in Paris better than just about anyone, chose this jewel for herself.

Behind the façade of a classic Haussmannian building is a home that has been thoughtfully reimagined for modern Paris living. Located on the second floor, the apartment measures 35.85 square meters (approximately 385 square feet) and benefits from a sunny southeastern exposure. Windows on both sides provide natural light and cross-ventilation, while double glazing and soundproofed hardwood floors help keep the apartment peaceful and quiet.

Renovated in 2020, it is filled with clever details that make it feel much larger than expected.

My favorite may be the concealed workstation in the living room. Hidden behind a wonderful 19th-century barn door, it disappears completely when the working day is over—particularly useful for anyone who occasionally works from home but doesn’t want the office taking over the apartment.

The open kitchen is separated from the living area by an atelier-style glass partition. It offers custom cabinetry, generous preparation space, an induction cooktop, dishwasher, full-size refrigerator and combination microwave/convection oven. There is even a connection for a washer/dryer.

The bedroom has its own personality, with a dramatic wall mural, Venetian chandelier and an exceptionally generous mirrored closet. The windowed bathroom includes a spacious Italian shower with both rain and handheld shower heads, a heated towel rack and ample storage. The WC is separate and has its own small handwashing basin—always a plus in Paris.

The separate WC

There is also a private cellar with a raised floor and enough room for luggage, bicycles, wine and all those things we never quite know where to put in a Paris apartment.

AND THEN THERE IS THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Village Popincourt has become one of the most appealing pockets of the 11th, with independent artisans, specialty shops, cafés, restaurants and open-air markets. The apartment is only about 180 meters from the Voltaire Métro, making it easy to reach the rest of Paris while enjoying the feeling of a genuine neighborhood at home.

This is the sort of apartment that could work beautifully as a full-time residence or an easy Paris pied-à-terre: sunny, practical, stylish and ready to move into.
