Malakoff

CHARMING, this elegant millstone house in Malakoff has preserved, since its construction in 1900, all the refinement of the Belle Époque enriched by delicate Art Nouveau influences. A true embodiment of the grand bourgeois villas built on the doorstep of Paris at the turn of the century, it combines architectural elegance, historical character, and timeless charm.
A remarkable rarity in this highly sought-after gateway-to-Paris setting, the property has belonged to only four families over the past 125 years, a testament to the exceptional care with which it has been maintained and preserved through generations. The current owners acquired the house in 1994 from the niece of the previous owner, Madame Lacour, a Parisian haute couture seamstress whose distinguished profession adds an additional layer of character to the home’s story. As a discreet tribute to this heritage, the original Lacour factory sign has been carefully preserved.
This rare continuity of ownership gives the property an authenticity and soul seldom encountered on the Parisian residential market. Arranged over four levels, the house immediately captivates with its richly textured millstone façade, sculpted window surrounds, elegant wrought-iron balconies, expressive roofline, and beautifully balanced proportions characteristic of Belle Époque architecture. Behind this distinguished façade unfolds a warm and elegant interior atmosphere where original character, architectural harmony, and understated sophistication have been preserved with remarkable integrity.
LOCATED: on a quiet and sought-after residential street in northern Malakoff, just moments from Paris’s 14th arrondissement, this exceptional Belle Époque millstone house with Art Nouveau influences elegantly embodies the spirit of the grand bourgeois suburban villas built between 1895 and 1910 in some of the most desirable communes surrounding Paris, including Malakoff and Clamart. The property combines the timeless charm of French millstone architecture with the decorative sophistication of the Art Nouveau movement.
THE INTERIORS: are distinguished by an exceptionally well-preserved original décor, elevating this property far beyond a simple character home. Painted ceilings with floral motifs, Art Nouveau stained-glass windows, ornamental plasterwork, carved overdoors, decorative consoles, herringbone parquet flooring, antique fireplaces, and finely crafted woodwork create an ensemble of remarkable quality, reflecting both the influence of French Art Nouveau and the decorative traditions of the Nancy School.
The organic floral motifs, luminous stained glass, and richly decorated ceilings subtly evoke the transition between late 19th-century historicism, Art Nouveau, and the emergence of a cultivated domestic modernity foreshadowing the beginnings of Art Deco. The exceptional preservation and harmony of these original features give the property an emotional presence and architectural quality particularly rare among heritage residences surrounding Paris.

THE GARDEN LEVEL: features an independent apartment, also accessible from the main house, comprising a living room, fully equipped kitchen, bedroom, shower room, and separate WC facilities. This self-contained space is ideal for hosting family and friends, accommodating a relative, or creating a private professional workspace.

THE RAISED GROUND FLOOR: offers beautiful light-filled reception rooms. The double reception room, with generous proportions and an intimate atmosphere, opens onto a secluded terrace sheltered from view. A separate fully equipped kitchen, a bright entrance hall adorned with original cement tiles, and a guest WC complete this level.

THE 1ST FLOOR: offers two bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms, together with a study/library opening onto a balcony.

THE ATTIC LEVEL: features two additional bedrooms, each benefiting from its own shower room, offering a comfortable and independent setting for children, guests, or remote working.

ALL THE LEVELS: benefit from WC facilities. The transversal kitchen also features a window opening onto the south-west façade, allowing pleasant natural ventilation and cool summer breezes.

IN GOOD CONDITION: meticulously maintained over the years, the property is presented in excellent overall condition and benefits from individual gas heating. Its absolute tranquility, preserved authenticity, and prime location make it an especially rare offering in this highly sought-after area, providing an ideal balance between Parisian living and residential serenity.
A rare and architecturally remarkable Belle Époque residence, perfectly designed for elegant family living on the immediate doorstep of Paris.

THE LOWER TERRACE: is ideal for entertaining, as the large garage opens directly onto an intimate, sheltered, and private garden terrace, creating the perfect setting for summer dining and outdoor receptions.
