Former artist’s studio converted into a duplex – Plaine Monceau

Located in the Plaine Monceau district – at the corner of Rue de Tocqueville and Rue Jouffroy d’Abbans – within an elegant cobblestone courtyard, this former artist’s studio (dating from 1910) spans 116.64 sq m (112.41 sq m Carrez law) across two levels.

Upon entering, the spectacular double-height glass roof, original steel beams, exposed metal structure, and millstone walls create an authentic industrial aesthetic, further enhanced by ceilings soaring over five meters high.

A defining feature of the property is its dual light source – combining frontal and overhead light – a rarity for a converted studio. South and west orientations, paired with the sloping glass roof, allow natural light to shift throughout the day, beautifully highlighting the volume of the space.

The first level features a vast open-plan living area where the lounge, dining room, and kitchen blend seamlessly to create a welcoming atmosphere. Tucked away towards the rear, a bedroom, an office, and a bathroom (equipped with both a bathtub and a shower) form a private, comfortable sleeping area.

A staircase leads to the upper floor, where a spacious open area – bathed in overhead light – currently serves as a second living room and library. This versatile space also includes a shower room.

A successful blend of industrial heritage and contemporary comfort, this unique duplex offers exceptional natural light and spectacular volumes in one of the 17th arrondissement’s most sought-after neighborhoods.

A 5.2 m² cellar completes the property.
