A unique, spacious 177m2 (160m2 loi carrez) luxury duplex apartment facing directly onto the sea 'Pieds dans l'eau' with uninterrupted sea views across the Baie des Anges, private terrace, covered conservatory/veranda, 3 bedrooms and parking, in a desirable residence situated in an exclusive, upmarket location.
Cap de Nice is one of, if not the most desirable area in the beautiful city of Nice, situated on the cliffs at the edge of Mont Boron, just above the port. A quiet, residential district of exclusive, upmarket homes, just up the hill from the pretty Port de Nice, Cap de Nice benefits from being 10 minutes from the city centre, whilst having easy access onto the picturesque Basse Corniche as it winds its way around the cliff towards Villefranche, Eze and on to Monaco.
Upon leaving the quiet lane that links the Basse Corniche to the port, you'll enter the secure, private parking on the roof of the apartment block, with great sea views to welcome you. The lobby area continues in the same vein, with clear and unimpaired views across the bay to the airport and the hazy outline of the hills beyond.
Access to the apartment is by elevator, and once inside you are instantly at ease in the double aspect, grand 80m2 split-level main living space, that combines a luxury kitchen, dining area, elegant sitting room and a covered balcony/conservatory, with spectacular views of the water's edge and out to sea. Access from the dining area to the private courtyard is via double French doors, blending seamlessly from inside to outside living, and adding 50m2+ to the space, providing a vast open living area of around 130m2 on this level.
The beautiful conservatory sits directly above the sea, with just the rocks below, and the gentle rhythm of the water as it laps beneath your feet. The view from here is genuinely unique very few properties (and even fewer apartments) on this part of the coast have genuine 'pieds dans l'eau' (literally 'feet in the water') meaning there is nothing between you and the sea at your feet. The property is built into the cliff, which provides a beautiful natural feature as the eastern wall of the private courtyard, and beneath the apartment block the cliff turns into rocks on the water's edge. To your right the view is of the Baie des Anges, sweeping round towards the airport, its lights blinking in the dusk away in the distance, and the backdrop of the purple-tinged hills on the far horizon. Ahead of you is just the azur blue of the Mediterranean, with the occasional superyacht or sailing boat rounding the Cap on its way out to sea.
Behind the main living space is bedroom 3 which would also make a great study/office space -with its own grotto-style covered outside area, with access straight on to the 50m2 private terrace via full width French doors and views across the courtyard out to sea. There is also a guest WC on this floor.
Access to the main bedroom suite and bedroom 2 is via the main staircase, leading to the lower floor from the main living area.
One of the best feature of this lovely apartment is the master bedroom suite. Suspended just a few metres from the azur blue sea below, you'll awake to the gentle sound of the lapping waves in summer, and the dramatic crashing of foaming water on those occasional stormy winter mornings. Wake up, throw open the full length French doors and just gaze out to sea, your view utterly uninterrupted. This wonderfully private, open plan suite measures a total of over 40m2, with plenty of storage space and a luxury bathroom which includes one special detail of elegant luxury a raised jacuzzi bath with a sea view.
Bedroom 2 is a well-appointed, double bedroom measuring over 20m2, with its own shower room/WC. The bedroom has plenty of storage space, and is well lit, with direct independent access to the outside terrace via double French doors.
From the French doors, there is access onto another (shared) terrace, rarely used by the other residents. This grotto-like t
