This $11.6 Million Apartment in the Chic 16th Arrondissement Oozes With Parisian Opulence

Picture it: your own little Versailles in Paris’s 16th arrondissement, where epic vistas of the Eiffel Tower are taken in from the Trocadéro. A three-bedroom apartment occupying the piano nobile of an early 20th-century building in the elegant district makes the fleeting thought a reality. Marie-Hélène Lundgreen of Christie’s International Realty holds the exquisite $11.67 million listing near the petite Place des États-Unis park.

The meticulously renovated residence sits one floor above the ground entry with 4,230 square feet of opulently appointed interiors that include an elaborately detailed living room, a stately dining room, and a serene primary suite. The foyer’s diamond-patterned floor tiles flow into the grand entrance hall, where a handful of vintage chandeliers illuminate the barrel ceiling and a slate of busts on marble pedestals line the walls.

Adjoining a small reception room, there’s a massive living room—fluted pilasters and a carved marble fireplace line its curved walls—with ample seating areas for afternoon tea. Ceiling murals in both rooms have been partly worn or scraped away, leaving a dreamy abstract pattern. A stylish library sits nearby with eye-catching striped wallpaper that complements built-in wooden bookshelves and a fireplace.

Elsewhere, the gilt-trimmed dining room with arched backlit display areas and antique parquet easily seats a dozen diners. Alternatively, the chef’s kitchen is sleek, modern, and fitted with smooth wood cabinetry and commercial-style stainless-steel appliances.

Mint green walls are dressed up with gilt-trimmed detailing in the primary bedroom, where double doors open to a Juliet balcony. The suite’s walk-in closet/dressing room features mirrored wardrobes beneath a barrel-vaulted ceiling, while its bathroom with grey stone accents features a soaking tub between separate sinks. Two more bedrooms and baths are accessed across the home, plus a possible fourth bedroom or “studio apartment,” according to the listing.

Balconies grant views of an hôtel particulier that was previously home to the Baccarat Museum before it closed. The Place des États-Unis (United States Square), honoring American volunteers who served in World War I is nearby, as is the Arc de Triomphe. A bit farther away, within the Bois de Boulogne, the Fondation Louis Vuitton is another cultural hub that spotlights Frank Gehry architecture and a collection of contemporary works, including by Gerhard Richter and the British duo Gilbert and George.
