2-room flat Avenue des Gobelins, Salpêtrière, Butte-aux-Cailles, Croulebarbe, Paris

This one bedroom apartment is located on the third and top floor (without a lift) of a historic building, the Couvent des Filles Anglaises, a former 17th century convent, in the 13th arrondissement of Paris, in the Gobelins area and overlooks a charming arcaded courtyard with the walls embellished with thick climbing vegetation.
The apartment is very bright: the sunlight, thanks to a double exposure, reaches every area of the house, which is composed as follows: an entrance with windows and integrated bookcases which leads to the living and dining area with fully equipped semi-open kitchen, bedroom with built-in closet overlooking the quiet courtyard, bathroom with shower and large window. The living area has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, four windows and a skylight.
The street where the apartment is located takes its name from the former leather tanning factories, which were once on the banks of the River Bièvre, which used to flow through the area and is located within the Gobelins Quarter, a quiet and residential Parisian neighborhood hidden from the tourist areas and which houses the Gobelins tapestry factory, which supplied the court of Louis XIV, the François Mitterrand National Library and the Station F technology incubator.
A few minutes away are the Gobelins gardens and also shops and restaurants which suggest a particular village atmosphere.
You can walk to the cobbled rue Mouffetard on the edge of the Latin Quarter and the adjacent 5th arrondissement, with the Pantheon and Jardin des Plantes botanical gardens. The Paris Observatory is also nearby.
This truly Parisian apartment is a beautiful primary residence, but also an ideal pied-à-terre as well as an excellent investment opportunity.
