Our search for a super-cool property has taken us to the outer suburbs of Paris, specifically to this 1960s modernist house in Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, near Paris.
No mention of the architect, but we suspect this was cutting edge design for someone affluent and forward-thinking back in 1969. Indeed, fast forward 42 years and it's still cutting edge. A testament to someone's vision 'back in the day'.
For your money, you get a lot. For a start, you get a large expanse of house over two floors, , not to mention surrounding land, a location near the Marne river and a large heated swimming pool. There's also plenty of internal accommodation too, with four bedrooms, two shower rooms, one kitchen and a double height living room (with a huge fireplace and large windows) downstairs, while upstairs there's two study rooms, two more bedrooms and a bathroom made of concrete. All rooms have access to the terraces too. Nice. Oh yes, there's a huge roof terrace as well.
Ok, it's not cheap at the equivalent of £1,488,000, but compare something like this to a property of this style just outside London (if you can find one). On that basis, it's not badly priced. For the rest of us…well, we can dream.
Oh no, it is beautiful! Damnit, where’s that spare 1.5 million I left lying around…..
