A loft with a terrace in a former carpentry workshop

Tucked away in the heart of the vibrant Charles III neighborhood, between Place des Vosges and the Central Market, lies this unique 180-square-meter loft, converted from a former 19th-century carpentry workshop. From the moment you step inside, the space’s distinctive character is immediately apparent, highlighted by a solid oak staircase, warm wood paneling, and a monumental skylight that spans the structure. Spanning three levels, this property conceals a true gem right in the city center: a 30-square-meter terrace, secluded from view.

The ground floor features a first bedroom before opening up to an impressive 45-square-meter reception room. Enhanced by 4.79-meter-high ceilings, this living space is topped by an opal polycarbonate roof that diffuses exceptional overhead light, bathing the entire living area in soft, continuous brightness. This space is finished with contemporary terrazzo-effect tile flooring, while the famous Bassinot stained-glass windows serve as a striking yet elegant visual divider from the bedroom. In terms of amenities, this level features a teak-paneled shower room and a laundry area with a built-in sauna.

Taking the period staircase leads to a mezzanine housing a 27 m² fitted kitchen, where the original 1850s parquet flooring has been carefully preserved. The walkway then leads to a 23 m² bedroom featuring a large walk-in wardrobe and a private bathroom.

The top floor is laid out like a proper suite, offering a 26 m² bedroom with reversible air conditioning, complemented by a 13 m² mezzanine perfect for working from home. A shower room completes this floor. The highlight of this floor is its direct access to a 30 m² wooden rooftop terrace. Equipped with water and electricity, this outdoor space offers moments of relaxation, bathed in sunshine throughout the summer.

This loft offers a complete escape in the heart of the city, in total tranquillity, whilst remaining just a few minutes’ walk from shops and transport links. The option to rent a secure, lock-up garage in the immediate vicinity provides a significant added convenience. A distinctive, bright and exceptional property, perfect for those who appreciate the finer things in life and a touch of the unusual.
