A Parisian Hôtel Particulier On Square de L’Avenue Foch
The private mansion is located in an exclusive enclave in the 16th arrondissement, which is to Paris is what the Upper East Side is to New York.
Built as a part of Haussmann's renovation of Paris, Avenue Foch is one of the most prestigious streets in Paris. It was once the address of both the Onassis and Rothschild families, who owned grand residences on this famous chestnut tree-lined avenue.
By the 17th century, there were over 2000 hôtels particuliers across Paris, many built as part of the core building program during the period of French classicism. Today, less than 500 of these iconic buildings remain in Paris, some having demolished as recently as the 20th century.
This classic Parisian Hotel Particulier is set back behind wrought-iron gates with a landscaped parkette. Inside, the luxury residence is beautifully proportioned, with soaring ceilings and large French doors.
The volume is most impressive in the reception hall, with a dazzling chandelier suspended from the vaulted ceiling, framed by the grand sweeping staircase.
The hôtel particulier has 7 bedroom suites, as well as additional staff accommodations and a guardian suite, and offers nearly 11,000 square feet of luxurious interior space.
