A house on top of the Butte Montmartre, in Paris

Legendary, and well-known by tourists visiting Paris, the Place du Tertre is located at the heart of the Montmartre village. It could be just an address like all the others in the capital, if living there were not the privilege of a handful of lucky few, artists, writers and media personalities. The picturesque deadend streets leading there are bordered by private mansions, penthouses and houses sheltered from onlookers.

In the houses of the Butte Montmartre

On the edge of this animated district, filled with caricature sketchers, souvenir shops, restaurants and theaters, one of these houses benefits from absolute calm thanks to its paved courtyard and lush vegetation. It stands on 4 light-filled levels with a spiral staircase leading to a terrace offering the panorama of Sacré-Coeur.

A private pool in the middle of Paris

The property comprises 320 m² of liveable surface, decorated in the baroque style, featuring 7 rooms—including a bar/kitchen, a reception room, 4 bedrooms, 1 master suite with dressing room, 2 offices—and cherry on the cake, a small outdoor pool with southern exposure, a hammam and a fitness space in order to relax when the balmy weather settles in. An exceptionally rare venue that deserves your visit…
