Whatever difficulties the real estate market is currently experiencing, the exceptional always sells at exceptional prices. Here’s how on the heights of Cannes, a penthouse considered among the most beautiful in California has just been sold, at the price of 9.5 million euros. Executed by Angie Delattre and Fabio Pieri on behalf of international real estate brand Michaël Zingraf Christie’s, the transaction was signed for an undisclosed final amount.
One thing is certain: we are here well above the average basket of beautiful apartments that are already selling at very high prices in this sought-after area, costing between 2 and 4 million euros. So what can justify such a figure? Without a doubt the fact that we are truly here in a rooftop villa, which combines the best of individual and collective living. The surfaces are very generous: 311 m2 of living space for the apartment with its 4 bedrooms, without forgetting 350 m2 of outdoor spaces divided into three single-storey terraces (337 m2) and two balconies (16 m2). As if that wasn’t enough, the apartment has its own private swimming pool in addition to the exotic park with swimming pool in the secure residence. You don’t even have to contend with a huge condo as the building only has 16 of them co-owners.
French family
Architecturally, the apartment is located in the Mariposa residence, an emblematic building of the modernist style, built in 1973 by the architect Eugène Lizero in place of the Villa Mariposa built in 1878. Located on avenue du roi Albert 1er, one of the most prestigious streets of this area of California on the heights of Cannes, the attic has belonged to an Iranian family since 2007. It was a French family already resident in the region who made the acquisition and who intends to carry out major renovation works.
