Unique, East-West Facing and Light-Filled, Latin Quarter-Adjacent Loft Space in 17th Century Former Convent

Property Description

Summary
Located in the Northernmost part of the 13th arrondissement just one Avenue to the South of the Latin Quarter's 5th arrondissement, this unique and atypical apartment is in a listed, 17th century former convent: "Le Couvent des Filles Anglaises", which has its own Wikipedia page: https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Couvent_des_Anglaises

This top-floor apartment looks down over the convent's beautiful inner private cobblestone courtyard. Completely refurbished to new standards in 2014 but keeping its original 350 year-old beams, the space is calm, open and airy. East/West-facing throughout along with two skylights in the main room, it is sun and light-filled throughout the day.
Barely a 10-minute walk to the cobblestones of the famous rue Mouffetard and its extensive selection of shops and food stores, it is also just steps away from the trendy Butte aux Cailles neighbourhood with its intimate bars and restaurants filled with locals. Also a few minutes' walk in one direction to Place d'Italie with its vast array of cafes, restaurants and large shopping center, and Place Denfert-Rochereau, the commerces of the adorable rue Daguerre, and the Orlybus to the airport in the other. The convent is close to everything and yet just out of the crush of tourists.
