Surroundings:
The atmosphere in the Marais district is a blend of 17th-century elegance and a very contemporary vibe. It is one of the liveliest, trendiest and most cosmopolitan neighbourhoods in Paris.
Numerous food shops, markets, designer boutiques and art galleries will delight everyone from newcomers to seasoned visitors.
A fabulous wealth of culture and history lies nearby, with the Carnavalet, Picasso and Pompidou museums, as well as splendid private mansions with hidden gardens, all just a few minutes’ walk away. Not to mention the Place des Vosges and the unique atmosphere of the Rue des Rosiers, which reflect the picturesque charm of the Marais.
This neighbourhood is a delightful place to live, whether year-round or for short stays, as recent street improvements have created semi-pedestrianised or fully pedestrianised streets.

As for adding further value to your future property, this is a real possibility if you’re considering optional renovation work. There’s unexpected potential for extension!
The entrance hall benefits from a loft space with a height of 1.80m. This unused space offers the opportunity to create a skylight and a striking cathedral ceiling, providing additional direct natural light and a remarkable sense of space as soon as you enter the duplex.
There is also the possibility of reimagining the layout, as the space is divided by several partition walls.
A further note regarding the bathroom: please note that the original parquet flooring still exists beneath the bathroom tiles. It is visible through the trapdoor by the bath.

The benefits of purchasing this flat are clear, as it represents an absolute safe haven investment.
Land in the Marais is extremely scarce and limited. Demand consistently outstrips supply, which guarantees excellent value retention over time. The clientele is both local and international, with strong purchasing power.
If you wish to let it, the return on investment and demand for long-term furnished lettings are consistent amongst executives and expatriates, generating sustained demand. This is profitable for you.
Furthermore, the high added value on resale is undeniable and comes with no unpleasant surprises, as the Marais / Rue des Archives location remains a key factor in triggering a purchase.
We look forward to showing you this gem!
