A Renovated 18th-Century Apartment in Paris Just Listed for $47.4 Million

In case anyone needed any convincing, this modernized 18th-century apartment is definitely worth moving to Paris for.

On the market with Knight Frank for a hefty €45 million (or roughly $47.4 million), the lavish spread is located within a palatial hôtel particulier—a freestanding townhouse or mansion—in the City of Light’s trés chic seventh arrondissement. The 9,500-square-foot apartment was renovated in 2019 by a renowned architect and designer and offers up a ton of old-world charm.

Included in the asking price is a second, 950-square-foot apartment in the building for guests or staff. And if that isn’t enough space to stretch out, a third unit in the building, measuring almost 2,200 square feet, can be negotiated separately.

A grand five-bedroom apartment in Paris just listed for $47.4 million.

Steps away from the world-famous Musee d’Orsay, the building is set behind double gates and is completely hidden from the street. The apartment itself has a polished yet bohemian look to it. Think hand-painted frescoes, along with original crown moldings, lots of marble, and open fireplaces. Highlights are its soaring 14-foot ceilings, wine cellar, grand salon, and library. Plus, the five-bedroom home has one ultra-rare amenity that will appeal to urban dwellers with a penchant for nature: a private garden that clocks in at a whopping 3,300 square feet.

The home also comes with 1,140 square feet of flexible space, which could be converted to a wellness center with a gym and spa.
