Apartment revisited in a mansion

This 161 sqm apartment was built in one of the most beautiful mansions in Marseille, very close to the Palais Longchamp.

In 1886, Mr. Masseillon, a wealthy collector, decided to build this private mansion and entrusted its realization to the architect Théodore Dupoux. Pedimented niches, fluted Corinthian pilasters, balusters, shell-bottomed culottes: the inspiration is of Italian ornamental style. The work will be continued by Paul Brunon, tobacco merchant; the sculptor Carli will magnify the ceiling. The mansion will then become a military museum.

Steeped in history, the owner has preserved the imprint of the past by giving this apartment a completely contemporary identity. Located on the second floor, the private access is by elevator or by a staircase, a real work of art. The whole gives a glimpse of the Palais Longchamp. The parquet floor trimmed by the brown color of solid oak mixed with polished glass and the treatment of the stained glass windows on the floor accentuate the warm and contemporary character of the place. Generous spaces and unconventional distribution are the peculiarities of this magical place. The succession of pieces can be reinterpreted as desired. On the night side, three bedrooms share two bathrooms. An office and a balcony enrich this property. Possibility to acquire a garage.

Close to the tram, the Cinq-Avenues metro, and the Longchamp park. Co-ownership of 5 lots (No procedure in progress). Annual charges: 1320 euros.
