The Villa Stein, located in the elegant Parisian suburb of Vaucresson, is a fine example of Le Corbusier’s homage to the Palladian style. Set within landscaped gardens, the villa boasts the classic hallmarks for which the architect is famed: white rendered concrete exterior, suspended entrance canopies, ribbon windows, sculptured spiralled staircases and an expansive roof terrace. Built in 1927 as a private family home, the property has since been sympathetically divided into apartments, the largest and of which is currently for sale.

Spread over the two top floors, the 1,130 sq ft penthouse has two double bedrooms, one bathroom and a light-filled living area for flexible use. The penthouse benefits from sole use of the grand roof terrace, which covers an additional 1,506 sq ft. A section of the mature gardens below are also reserved for the exclusive use of the penthouse.

Vaucresson is an attractive market town with superb rail-links into central Paris and is just a few minutes drive from the A13, leading into the city. The town is nestled alongside the picturesque Parc Dominiale de Saint Cloud, the historic royal parklands that have for decades provided beautiful settings for music and cultural events. The town is also popular due to its proximity to the prestigious American School of Paris, which was the first international school to be established in mainland Europe.
