Full Description
In the heart of the highly sought-after Palais de Justice district, nicknamed the Marseille “Little Paris” for the elegance of its architecture, its Haussmann facades, refined shops and unique way of life, discover a rare and singular property perched on the top floor. From the moment you enter this characterful bourgeois building, charm works its magic. The majestic staircase, elevated by its marble steps, period ironwork and remarkable volumes, testifies to the standing of this discreet address. On the top floor unfolds an apartment entirely rethought by an architect as a true townhouse suspended above the roofs of Marseille. Designed for family life and conviviality, the property develops superb attic spaces. Crossing and bathed in light, the living room impresses with its ceiling height, exposed beams, generous openings and warm atmosphere. Organized around a perfectly integrated open kitchen, it naturally invites receptions, meals with friends and moments of sharing with family. The living area adds a harmonious, particularly gentle and comforting ambiance to this ensemble. The real heart of the home, it revolves around an elegant fireplace framed in raw concrete that gives the space its full personality. The mansard volumes, wooden flooring, natural materials and pervasive light create a warm atmosphere where one can imagine winter evenings by the fire as well as sun-filled long days. In extension of the living area, a pleasant west-facing terrace offers a true outdoor living space. Hidden from view, it enjoys generous sunshine and an unobstructed view over the Marseille rooftops, with the emblematic silhouette of Notre-Dame de la Garde in the background. The masonry planters dressed with Mediterranean-patterned tiles recall the South’s identity and add a touch of character to this charming outdoor space. The apartment asserts a decidedly architectural identity, inspired by loft spirit. The master suite, installed on a mezzanine behind a full-height elegant glass wall, harmoniously overlooks the living spaces. An additional bedroom constitutes the children’s space, with a dressing room or can accommodate a study or guest room as needed. The bathroom, finished in polished concrete, offers a clean, contemporary ambiance with a bathtub and shower integrated in a spa-like spirit. Every detail has been carefully conceived. The blend of noble and authentic materials creates a unique atmosphere: wooden parquet, custom ironwork, polished concrete, glass wall, whitened old beams, characterful joinery and Mediterranean-inspired details compose a coherent, warm and timeless whole. More than an apartment, this property is a true living space, a characterful cocoon in the heart of one of Marseille’s most elegant and vibrant districts. A unique property for architecture lovers, authenticity enthusiasts and discreet addresses, offering a rare balance of character, light, conviviality and the sweetness of life.
