When we first stepped inside the beautiful stone-edged doorway, just a few steps off rue des Rosiers on rue Ferdinand Duval, we knew we were in for treat.
Rue Ferdinand Duval in the 4th arrondissement of the "Saint-Gervais" quarter begins at 18, rue de Rivoli, ending just at rue des Rosiers. Emile Gustave Ferdinand Duval (1827-1896), for which the street was named, was once the préfet of the Seine and member of the city council. This part of rue Ferdinand Duval has existed since the 13th-century! (Click here or on map for an enlarged version in another browser window.)
If you haven't visited rue des Rosiers lately, then you might not know that it's been cobblestoned for pedestrian use only, the boutiques have gotten chicer and has become a beehive of activity from all walks of life. Property in Paris on pedestrianized streets have all become more valuable and this particular part of Le Marais has started to top even the 6th and 7th arrondissements.
Entering the building and up just a few steps, the "Jardin Saint-Paul," the name we've dubbed it just today (!), is a 78 square meter two bedroom apartment with a window in every room that overlooks a beautiful and tranquil garden from two sides. The ceilings are several meters high with ancient exposed beams. A contemporary and beautifully appointed kitchen is to the left with a view of the garden out large windows. A dining room table sits comfortably in the next open space and beyond is a spacious living room.
A hall to the left takes you to the bedrooms and bathroom, each with a large window overlooking the garden. Much of the original stone walls have been exposed and the bedroom floors are a deep rich dark wood.
Paris Home Shares will do what it always does...renovate and decorate to luxurious perfection, then apportion the shares for twelve happy owners who can each enjoy the apartment a few weeks a year and make a very wise investment, all with one stroke.
Jardin Saint-Paul, which is now priced at 92,000€ per share with only a few shares left, features a wonderful 77.4 square meters two-bedroom apartment in the Marais (4th arrondissement). It is located just steps from the famous (and now pedestrian-only) rue des Rosiers, chock full of tempting shops, boutiques and stores to purchase all of your daily needs. Yet the wonderful thing about this apartment is that it is located off the street, overlooking a quiet peaceful garden, providing a tranquil refuge from the activity nearby.
This apartment is part of a "vieille maison" dating back into the 1800's, and features original exposed stone walls and wood ceiling beams. The kitchen has been completely renovated, and the bathroom features a Jacuzzi tub. In addition, we will be installing antique oak plank flooring to soften the look and return the unit to its original character and feeling. High quality furnishings throughout, including antiques, original oil paintings and artwork reflecting the period will be added to complete the "cozy" feeling we are striving for. Included with the furnishings will be all of the modern touches as well, like a new washer, HDTV, high speed DSL Internet connection with laptop computer, and free phone calling to over 40 international countries, including the US! Each share represents one month's ownership. We rotate months each year, so that every owner will have the chance to experience all 4 seasons within 4 years, and every month over the course of 12 years.
