A iconic Paris structure housing famous landmarks
The apartment forms part of an architectural ensemble conceived between 1928 and 1931 by Jean Walter, a distinguished architect and urban designer. This structure showcases the Art Deco aesthetic throughout—ranging from hewn stone exteriors to well-defined sections, arched terraces, and interiors arranged to maximize natural illumination. Since their construction, the Walter structures have been known for offering a secluded retreat within bustling central Paris without being ostentatiously prominent.
Among the building’s distinguished inhabitants are several notable figures. Notable residents have included Pierre Balmain, Catherine Deneuve, Pierre Guerlain, and Serge Dassault. More recently, television host Arthur resided in a spacious 700 square meter triplex featuring a terrace.
An apartment adorned purely in the Art Deco style
The entrance to Pierre Balmain’s apartment leads directly into a sunlit gallery. Next comes an adjacent reception area comprising a living room featuring a fireplace and De Sede couches, a dining room decorated with golden foliage, and a wooden-toned library. Ample sliding windows provide unobstructed vistas across the grounds of Château de la Muette. High ceilings soaring up to 3.70 meters contribute significantly to the sense of spaciousness and openness within the rooms.
A graceful staircase adorned with gold-toned metalwork ascends to different levels of the home. On the ground level, the principal bedroom features an expansive walk-in closet along with a marble-clad bathroom equipped with a Jacuzzi. Moving up to the upper level, you’ll find three additional bedrooms, each boasting its own en-suite shower facility. This residence spans 392 square meters and harmoniously combines contemporary luxury with Art Deco aesthetics.
Lastly, you have a kitchen by La Cornue, complete with top-of-the-line professional appliances. There’s also a laundry area, two wine cellars, a 32 square meter staff apartment, and a dual-space garage included. The property comes fully furnished and decorated, making it immediately habitable upon purchase.
