Luxury 4 bed penthouse with views of Monaco’s Port Hercule and the sea

Description

A beautiful 262m2 luxury top floor apartment with fabulous living spaces, exclusive views over the Principality of Monaco, and huge terrace with summer kitchen.

Beausoleil is a resort town, named for is exposure to the sunny south, with the foothills of the Alpes-Maritime rising up behind the town sheltering it from the northern winds. The town itself is barely distinguishable from Monaco – the streets blend together seamlessly – but the price of real estate makes Beausoleil extremely attractive for buyers who wish to be close to Monaco without the punitive costs. Ideally located not just for access to Monaco, but also for the Italian border and the nearby city of Nice, with its international airport.

This high-end apartment offers fabulous accommodation of 262m2, with 4 bedrooms, a fabulous roof terrace with views over Monaco’s Port Hercule, the Royal palace upon the hill and out, beyond to the azur waters of the Mediterranean.

The apartment has been constructed using high-end materials, and is bathed in light from the numerous large windows that surround the generous living space. Combining practicality with beauty, there is ample storage space in the form of shelving and cupboards, a laundry room and two cellar rooms.

The main living area is a beautiful, generously proportioned, high ceilinged space of 77m2, opening out onto the huge private roof terrace, with sea views and the main port of Monaco below – there is even a glimpse of the edge of the famous Monaco Grand Prix circuit. The parquet flooring, architraves and ceiling mouldings add to the prestige feel of the apartment, which also benefits from custom lighting and integrated air conditioning.

The layout and shape of this stunning room creates a courtyard effect, and adds an important feature to apartment, removing the traditional ‘boxy’ or closed-in feel that some apartments have. The large windows and sliding glass doors can be fully opened, creating a seamless integration of the outside and inside accommodation. The stunning views can be enjoyed from everywhere in the room, and within this open-plan space is the high-end kitchen, benefitting from top of the range appliances and tasteful contemporary fittings.

The bedroom accommodation consists of four large double bedrooms. The master bedroom of 26m2 features a large walk-in wardrobe and shower room/wc, and each of the other 3 bedrooms also has its own shower room/WC, making this apartment ideal for entertaining or family reunions.

The practical side of life is well taken care of too, with access to Monaco in less than 5 minutes, with its shops, supermarkets and wealth of amenities. Nice airport is less than 45 minutes away by car, or using the heliport in Monaco’s Fontvieille district – 10 minutes by taxi from the apartment – the journey takes 7 minutes, with several flights an hour. The Italian border is around half an hour away, and Nice city centre is also around half an hour by car. There are regular train services in both directions along the coast – to Italy or towards Nice, Cannes and St Tropez, with Beausoleil’s station less than 5 minutes by car.

There are several beaches within a short distance – Larvotto beach in Monaco and Mala beach in Cap d’Ail, with the beautiful Bai des Fourmis just around the corner in Eze Bord de mer, with its groovy beach restaurants and clear waters. There are numerous walking tours in the area – the ancient oppidum of Mont des Mules at the top of Beausoleil is now designated a National Historic Monument, having once formed part of the Roman Via Julia Augusta – and there are circular walks at sea level around both Cap Martin and Mala bay.

This apartment offers the opportunity for a fabulous lifestyle, in arguably one of the best locations on the Riviera – at the gates of the Principality of Monaco – space, privacy and practicality – as well as plenty of beautiful sunshine. Beausoleil indeed!
