An exquisite, historic 15-room apartment on Paris’ posh Quai d'Orsay has been listed for sale via an affiliate of Christie’s International Real Estate for about $59 million. The rarely-available 8,230-square-foot duplex features a total of eight bedrooms and six baths on two floors with high ceilings, wood paneling and marble fireplaces throughout.

Many rooms open onto to spacious terraces with panoramic views of the adjacent river Seine and famed Parisian monuments like the Eiffel Tower, Grand Palais and Place des Invalides. The noble residence, one of Paris’ most desirable properties, features a large entrance gallery opening on to the main reception room with beautiful wood panels, a dining room, sitting room and library.

A majestic marble staircase leads to the upper level where the eight lavish bedrooms are located. An elevator serves the upstairs as well. Also included is a spacious staff apartment. The Quai d’Orsay and nearby rue de Bac have historically played an important role in French art as a location to which many artists came to paint along the banks of the river Seine. Visit ChristiesRealEstate.com to learn more.
