Luxury Two-story Penthouse (16th and 17th Floors,) AMAZING RIVER AND PANORAMIC VIEW, Large Balcony with BBQ, WiFi, IP Phone
Situated amongst the high-rises, just one block from the famous “Avenida del Libertador” in the most elegant part of Palermo, you will find our luxurious penthouse apartment. Enjoy breathtaking views by day of the River Plate and by night the stunning bright city lights. Entertain by grilling native meats and vegetables Argentine-style on your personal barbeque! Relax, as you slow-cook them using local wood and charcoal while sipping a Malbec chosen from the neighborhood wine shop. Enhance your experience with local tango on the radio, the CD you just bought from the street band, or by plugging in your Ipod. Thinking of friends at home? Step into the office, open wide the glass doors and dial them direct (free of charge) or send them an email describing the sailboat race you’re observing while a gentle breeze caresses you.
Welcome to the property that convinced me to make my first purchase outside the United States.
The penthouse is on two levels and decorated with modern, informal furniture. There are two bedrooms upstairs, each with the highest quality queen-sized beds, all-cotton, high thread count sheets, and air-conditioners in each room. Between the bedrooms is a full bathroom with tile floor and walls, marble sink, shower and Jacuzzi tub. The views from the bedrooms are extraordinary. On the main level, there is a spacious living and dining room, with many windows allowing ample natural light. The leather couch sits under the lovely painting by local artist Josefina Fulua and is perfect for an afternoon nap. In the kitchen, there is a gas stove and granite counters that make cooking easy, but it is the incredible balcony with its amazing views that make dining an unforgettable event. And with eight extra chairs and an extra table (that are stored) throwing a small party will never be better received. Also on the main floor, there is a half bath and separate office where, upon request, you can put a third, single bed.
We also want you to enjoy all the modern technical conveniences of home. The penthouse has high-speed wireless Internet with an IP phone enabling you to call and receive calls from the states, Canada, and Western Europe for free. There are two local GSM cell phones, a local telephone with free calls, a flat-screen television with 80 cable channels, and a Dvd player with surround-sound stereo.
As for location, you are in the heart of Palermo and can’t be better situated. Step out of the building and walk to the incredible zoo, Botanical Gardens, Evita museum, Rosedal (infinite number of rose bush varietals,) Hipodromo (horse races,) Campo Argentino de Polo (polo fields,) and Club de los Amigos (tennis, swimming, and other sports.) You’re also within blocks of Buenos Aires best museums: the MALBA and the Museum Nacional de Bellas Artes, Recoleta, Palermo Soho as well as dozens of Argentina’s finest restaurants, boutiques, and gyms.
