Beauty, refinement, cachet and modernity, new (oiled mahogany) and old woodwork, Corinthian columns, clay bricks in the kitchen, calacatta marble counters. In the bathroom, mosaics wrap the shower and ceiling, and lime-painted walls complete the cocoon. Multiple heated floors in the hallway (25'X3'), bathroom (floor and bath shelf) and full-size kitchen. 2 good-sized bedrooms + study, open-plan living-dining-kitchen area. By favoring natural, textured materials, the new renovation brings a century-old building back to life for a second time.
