Whatever the difficulties that the real estate market is facing today, the exceptional always sells at exceptional prices. This is how about the height of Cannes, a penthouse reputed to be among the most beautiful in the district of California, at the price of 9.5 million euros, has just been sold here. Carried out by Angie Delattre and Fabio Pieri on behalf of the Michaël Zingraf Christie’s International Real Estate brand, 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 sold at very high prices in this sought-after area, they cost between 2 and 4 million euros. And what can justify such an amount? Undoubtedly the fact that we are really here in a rooftop villa, combining the best of individual and collective accommodation. The surface is very generous: 311 m² of living space for the apartment with its 4 rooms, not forgetting 350 m² of outdoor space divided into three terraces on one floor (337 m²) and two balconies (16 m²). To make matters worse, the apartment has its own private pool in addition to the exotic park with swimming pool in the secure residence. There is no need to fight with a huge condominium since the building has only 16 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 on the site of the Villa Mariposa built in 1878. Located on avenue du roi Albert 1er, one of the most prestigious addresses in this sector of California on the heights of Cannes, the penthouse has belonged to an Iranian family since 2007. It was a French family that already lived in the region that made this purchase and intends to carry out major renovation works.
