Exclusive Duplex Penthouse with Panoramic Views…in the Libération District of Nice

spacious living and dining with large terraces and great views 4 ave Cyrille Besset, Nice duplex penthouse

To this day, I think this is one of the most beautiful apartments I’ve ever seen. I know that’s a big statement, I’ve seen an awful lot of beautiful apartments. But this one took my breath away, even though it’s in a contemporary building just on the edge of central Nice (but walkable to town and steps from Tramway #1).

The current owners are an illustrious artist and a seasoned architect from New York. No wonder it’s impeccably designed and decorated!? They have more taste in their little fingers than most…and it shows. Every inch is perfection. One of the owners is a serious cook, too. So, the kitchen had to be exemplary…and it is. Every point of view is worthy of a two-page spread in Architectural Digest. They put their hearts and souls into it, lived in and loved it for several years, and then decided to move to Paris—the only reason for the sale. We managed to find them a beautiful apartment at Place Saint-Michel with a view of Nôtre Dame…so saying so-long to Nice and their beautiful Nicois abode won’t be too painful.

But, this means it’s your lucky day. You can move right in and occupy it just the way they did, or convert one open space on the lower level into a main and third bedroom, just like the original plans that they adjusted for themselves. When they bought the apartment, it was a shell. The building was under construction and they made a deal with the developers to let them do what they wanted…so they did, and that’s why it’s so perfect.

Perched atop this modern building, designed by acclaimed architect Jean-Paul Gomis and completed in 2014, this is one of those rare duplexes occupying the entire 5th and 6th floors, ensuring absolute privacy with no lateral neighbors. Even the entry from the elevator would be all yours and that’s how they have treated it, not like “common area.” Seamlessly blending contemporary architecture with eco-conscious design, this very special residence features solar panels that power the common areas, making it a model of sustainable luxury. They thought of everything.

Nestled in the vibrant Libération District, just steps from the tramway, this serene urban retreat boasts of panoramic views of the hills of Nice. It’s a dream.
