A magnificent medley of colour and styles converge to create a striking aesthetic in this duplex apartment in Paris' dynamic and vibrant 13th arrondissement. Spanning both the ground and first floors, this home houses both classical and modern artworks, while vintage velvet furnishings blend seamlessly with a wooden, rustic vibe. With a decidedly mid-century character, the home embodies the artistic feel of this cosmopolitan neighbourhood, where attractions include the Catacombs, Manufacture des Gobelins, the 'lost village' of Butte-aux-Cailles and the Mitterrand Library.
LIVING & DINING AREA
Situated on the ground floor of the split-level home, three large windows fill this open-plan room with natural light, while vibrant velvets bring notes of colour and the parquet floor provides a retro feel. The eclectic artwork and artefacts will undoubtedly prompt conversations at mealtimes around the large dining table and there's a piano for a musical interlude. Additionally, there is a tranquil television room complete with a sumptuous L-shaped sofa and a mini-library of books for quieter reflection.
KITCHEN
Continuing the retro vibe, the kitchen offers rustic-style flooring and quirky tiles. It's equipped with all key amenities, and the convenient breakfast bar is perfect for a quick coffee or for use as a preparation area.
BEDROOMS
Radiant orange and blues continue in the principal bedroom, complementing the crisp white linens on the double bed. There's a bookcase by the bed for a spot of light reading on the covered balcony before a restful night's sleep. The apartment's distinctive tone continues in the second bedroom, offering a double bed and a home working space that overlooks the internal balcony. A more mellow mood defines the third bedroom with a double bed, making it the perfect place for relaxation.
BATHROOMS
The white décor of the main family bathroom contrasts with the home's distinctive colourway, yet the eclectic mood is still visible with green ceramic fishes and the walk-in shower unit with its black, white and grey tiles. It also has a bathtub, wash basin and washer/dryer. The second bathroom features a bathtub with an overhead shower attachment, and the wash basin is finished in white with touches of rustic orange. There are two separate WCs, both on the first floor.

This duplex is a veritable wonderland of contrast and colour, with design surprises at every turn.
Home truths:
No smoking, pets or parties. Please note, the house is on two levels with an internal staircase. There are two separate WC, both on the first floor. Although we always endeavour for accuracy, there may be rare occasions where the listing photography and description do not provide an exact representation of the home's amenities.
Please note, Veeve homes are lived-in homes, which we think adds to their charm! Guests should, however, expect to find homeowner belongings and personal items within the property.
