Villa des Ternes: A hidden gem in the 17th arrondissement

Bordering the elegant neighborhoods of Ternes and Pereire, Villa des Ternes resembles a private village within the city—often compared to the exclusive Villa Montmorency in Auteuil. Hidden behind two gated entrances (at 39 Rue Guersant and 96 Avenue des Ternes), the enclave comprises six peaceful avenues lined with prestige villas, historic homes, Art Nouveau façades, neoclassical residences, and lush private gardens.

This unique setting is home to the 160 sqm (1,720 sq ft) house for sale, nestled within 215 sqm (2,315 sq ft) of landscaped garden. A true rarity in Paris, this home is perfect for nature lovers, families seeking peace and privacy, or anyone looking for a private oasis in the capital.

A countryside atmosphere in the city: Charm, comfort, and exclusivity

Offered at €3,200,000, this elegant country-style home stands out for its warm, inviting ambiance and refined details. Inside, the residence features a spacious and sun-filled living and reception area opening directly onto the garden. A fully equipped, gourmet kitchen with a dining space enhances everyday living with convenience and elegance. The property boasts three bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, ensuring privacy and comfort for all.

The private garden, ideally oriented and secluded, is one of the property’s greatest assets. Whether transformed into an outdoor living room, a summer dining terrace, or even an urban vegetable garden, the outdoor space offers endless possibilities—making it an extremely desirable feature for discerning buyers.

A rising demand for houses in Paris

While luxury apartments continue to dominate the Parisian market, the demand for private homes, villas, and townhouses is on the rise. Today’s high-end buyers are increasingly drawn to properties that feature outdoor spaces, terraces, private gardens, or even indoor swimming pools—now considered essentials in luxury real estate.

The Villa des Ternes property joins an elite circle of rare finds, such as villas in Passy, penthouses with Eiffel Tower views in Trocadéro, and private mansions along the Champs-Élysées. All are prime examples of the exceptional listings regularly handled by Paris Ouest Sotheby’s International Realty, a trusted name in luxury property sales in Paris and Neuilly-sur-Seine.
