Jean-Pierre Trudeau/Pied-a-terre, Paris

This converted loft in the Seizieme Arrondissement (Paris' Sixteenth District), is surrounded by Muggle apartments, and, to the Muggles, seems indistinguishable from them.

Its value to its owner, however, is declared by the urn over the mantelpiece, stating that this is as close to home as Pierre can currently reach, psychologically speaking.

Various masking and extension charms, of a permanent calibre, make this extremely spacious dwelling a matter of no comment or concern to neighbours, and the sound-dampening charms in the walls give Pierre what he needs, in terms of respite, as well.

The decoration and furniture is limited, particularly for a place of these dimensions, but "every picture" truly "tells a story".
