The Sky High

The Sky High: Île-de-France

This split-level three-bedroom home is built around a centrepiece terrace complete with Jacuzzi and breathtaking views of the Eiffel Tower.

On rainy days, take your pick from the extensive family library in the open-plan living space and catch up on your reading, perched on one of the stylish statement pieces of furniture. Gather around the expandable dining table beside the balcony for a meal time chat, while taking in the city from your sky high sanctuary. If you must catch up on work, there's a dedicated desk space in the living room placed nicely by the balcony, so you're never without a view.

As one kitchen is never enough, a summer kitchen is also available on the first floor – ideal for preparing alfresco evening meals. On warm summer nights, cook up a feast and take it out to enjoy on the private terrace, which boasts views of the Eiffel Tower. If you're feeling particularly lavish, why not take in the views from the comfort of the Jacuzzi?
