From the Agent: "This striking architectural ensemble consists of two adjoining houses designed by architect Jacques-Émile Lecaron: the Maison d’Acier, built in 1974, and the Maison Derrière le Miroir, renovated and connected to its neighbor in 2003. The first floor of the main home features a majestic reception area, offering an intimate space in deep colors. It comprises a living room with fireplace and mirrors, a second living room in an alcove with a 20-foot-high ceiling, a dining room that is wide open to the landscape, and a semi-open fitted kitchen whose undulations follow the curves of the facade. Designed as an extension, the Maison Derrière le Miroir (House Behind the Mirror) is accessible via a tube staircase, the reception area in the main house, and the garden. A pleasant roof terrace punctuated by a range of colorful features tops the house and offers panoramic views of the surrounding area and the forest."

Set at the edge of the Meudon forest, the property benefits from the peaceful, residential setting of the town of Clamart, all while being 20 minutes by train from the south of Paris.
