The Paris suburbs still have a few authentic nuggets that have retained all their charm. This renovated house has all the charm of a country house, yet is still very urban. The windows have been enlarged to let in plenty of light and allow the house to flow freely. The living room is in the former workshop, and has a fireplace. The kitchen has been embellished with an English-style glass roof. The two upper floors feature bedrooms with old-fashioned charm and old-fashioned bathrooms in a clever retro-modern balance.
