Newly renovated (March 2008) with stunning “reach out and touch” views of a grand old Russian Orthodox church, this large apartment is located near the Arc de Triomphe on Place Ternes in the 8^th District  (Arrondissement) and is on one of the few private streets in Paris and in a prestigious area of the city. You are only about a 12-15 minute walk to the Champs Élysées.

The apartment is located on the fourth floor of this 19^th century building (with elevator) and is overlooking the gardens and golden domes of the Russian orthodox church (but don’t worry, they only ring once at 10am!). No cars are allowed on the street so it is very quiet - A peaceful retreat in one of the busiest areas of Paris.

And if the great location were not enough, the apartment owners have completely renovated this large two bedroom flat, using high quality furnishings and furniture throughout.

The apartment has all the charm of the 19^th century Parisian apartments with high molded ceilings, hardwood floors, a fireplace (decorative only), wood molding on the walls, iron work on the balcony, bow windows – all this with the comfort and modernity of new appliances.

BEDROOMS:
There is a Master bedroom with a Queen-size bed for two adults. The second bedroom has separate twin beds which can be pushed together to form one large King-size bed, (includes a top mattress when formed together). There is a quality double sofa-sleeper in the living room, that can sleep two adults comfortably as well. A total of 6 adults can occupy this large apartment, with its 66m² (730 sq. ft.).

BATHROOMS:
The apartment has two bathrooms, each is located just off the bedrooms (see floor plan). The large one for the Master bedroom has a tub and hand-held shower, plus sink (no WC). The smaller bathroom off the second bedroom has a shower, sink and WC. For easy access this bathroom conveniently has a second door which opens to the living room.

KITCHEN:
The apartment’s kitchen has all new cabinets, new appliances and includes, a dishwasher, combination oven and microwave in one unit, stove top with electric burners, coffee machine and toaster. There is a combination washer/dryer unit in the apartment. There is both a dining table for six people as well as a bar-counter.

The location is perfect for all.

• The Food & Wine lovers will walk to the best gourmet shops in Paris (Dalloyau, Taillevant, Hediard) and will spend hours cruising the most quintessentially Parisian market in the nearby Rue Poncelet. The rue Poncelet market is particularly inviting as it has a combination of fruit, vegetables and produce stalls lined up alongside some of the best food stores in the city. Even in the windy cold of November these little shops open their fronts to the streets in a symphony of color, sound and aromas. Sample the best assortment of French cheeses at Fromagerie des Gourmets at 7, rue Poncelet or some excellent and typical French baguette at PAUL bread shops. It is a unique experience!
   
• The Classical Music addicts will just die to be literally two steps away from the city’s main concert Hall - Salle Pleyel – which reopened after its most radical renovation to date, a $36 million makeover that involved gutting and redesigning its main auditorium. You actually can see the back of the building from the living room and – if you are lucky – on a summer evening may hear pianists practicing. And in the summer, why not just walk to the Parc Monceau and attend its annual Chopin Festival?
   
• The Joggers and nature lovers will not believe they are so close (300 feet) to the Parc Monceau. Known as one of the most attractive parks in Paris, Park Monceau, the brainchild of the Duke of Orleans in the 18th century, has become a favorite resting place for those looking for some peace and quiet away from the busy city. Stroll among its pretty flower gardens and interesting array of statues, relax along its little ponds, grottos and waterfall or jog in its alleys. This is just one of the most romantic places in Paris at you door steps.
   
• The Architecture and History maniacs will wake up to the stunning view of the Cathédrale St-Alexandre-Nevsky, probably the most beautiful Russian church in France. The style is Byzantine-moscovite, with bulb-like pinnacle domes, a gilded ball and a cross at each apex. Enjoy a sunny lunch on the living room balcony overlooking the church gardens or just admire the view from your bed through the bedroom windows. The bells only ring once at 10am in the morning so you’ll just enjoy the peaceful view.
   
• The fashion victims will not resist the luxury fashion shops going down on Faubourg St Honoré towards the presidential palace (Élysées). From Chanel to Hermes and more, just walk them all!
