Marseille apartment place Castellane

Sole agency - Marseille 6th - Place Castellane, top-floor apartment with terraces and panoramic views.

At the heart of Marseille, the Place Castellane has recently enjoyed a remarkable transformation. Completely redesigned, with a renewed focus on pedestrian space and now served by the tramway, the square has reclaimed its place at the centre of city life. At its heart stands the celebrated monumental fountain, created by Jules Cantini, an iconic architectural and historical landmark of Marseille. A strategic crossroads between the city centre, the Prado and the southern districts, Castellane now embodies a vibrant and distinctly Marseille way of life.

Presented on a sole agency basis, in the heart of Place Castellane and within one of its landmark buildings, this 3/4-room apartment offers approximately 130 sqm of living space, extended by nearly 70 sqm of terraces, and enjoys remarkable panoramic views across Marseille.

Occupying the 10th and top floor of this modern architectural ensemble, the apartment stands out for its exceptional location, generous proportions and, above all, its remarkable outdoor spaces - a particularly rare feature in the heart of the city.

Built in 1968, the building was designed by architect Arnaud Heim de Balzac. Its façade is composed through an elegant interplay of lines and vertical volumes, where concrete meets expansive glazed surfaces accentuated by metal detailing. This extensive use of glass, designed to maximise natural light and openness, clearly reflects the influence of the principles developed by Le Corbusier and the Modern Movement.

The apartment opens onto an elegant entrance hall with guest cloakroom, leading to a spacious double reception room and a fitted kitchen. These living areas open directly onto a large landscaped terrace, equipped with an automatic irrigation system and enjoying spectacular 180-degree views across Marseille, with a glimpse of the sea.

The sleeping quarters currently comprise two bedrooms. The principal suite benefits from its own private terrace with privileged views towards Notre-Dame de la Garde, together with a shower room, separate WC and dressing room.

The original layout included a third bedroom, which could easily be reinstated if required.

Renovated less than ten years ago and impeccably maintained, the apartment is fully air-conditioned. It is sold with a cellar and an underground parking space, two particularly valuable assets in this central location.

With shops, restaurants, transport links and the Prado market all within immediate reach, the property offers the opportunity to enjoy Marseille on foot while remaining within easy reach of the beaches, the Calanques, the Vieux-Port and the city's different neighbourhoods.

A rare address, equally suited to a primary residence or a comfortable pied-à-terre in Marseille.

We love: the top-floor position, the generous proportions, the nearly 70 sqm of terraces and their panoramic views, the architectural quality of the building, together with the rare convenience of private parking and a cellar in the heart of Marseille.
