Former workshop in the heart of an Eiffel courtyard

Behind a large wooden door, hidden from view on Rue de Charonne, lies a rare and preserved paved courtyard, emblematic of the 11th arrondissement’s industrial past.

Built in 1884 by the architect Eugène Bonnet, this discreet condominium captivates with its unique architecture: an Eiffel-style structure, continuous walkways, half-timbering, a red-painted metal frame, and ochre brickwork. Formerly dedicated to textiles and bronze work, the premises have retained a unique atmosphere, subtly steeped in history.

Located on the first floor, this former loft-style workshop offers 131.49 square meters of living space (Carrez law) and has been redesigned with respect for the building’s original character.

The living area, nearly 70 square meters, impresses with its spaciousness and 3-meter-high ceilings, recalling the workshop’s original spirit. It features a fully equipped American-style kitchen, open to the reception area, and is arranged around a working fireplace, the true heart of the home. Openings onto the courtyard create a peaceful and private atmosphere, seemingly untouched by time.

The sleeping area comprises a spacious master suite with a dressing room and bathroom/shower with toilet, as well as a second bedroom with storage.

A former shower room with a toilet, currently used as a laundry room, completes the layout and could easily be restored to its original function.

Conceived as both a living space and a creative workspace, this property offers great flexibility. The area currently used as offices could be converted into a third bedroom.

The courtyard now hosts a vibrant mix of creative and residential spaces, blending homes, offices, dance and yoga studios, and a theater, creating an urban village feel.

A unique and evolving space where living, working, and creating blend seamlessly in the heart of Paris’s 11th arrondissement.

Bicycle parking available in the courtyard.
