Penthouse with sea view, Avenue de la Costa

Avenue de la Costa sits at the top of the Carré d’Or, and from the eighth floor the ground falls away in front of you — the port, the masts, the Rock behind them. The terrace wraps the southern side, so the view follows you from the living room round to the kitchen.

The building is from 1972 and looks it from the street, which here is no bad thing — it is why the rooms are generous rather than clever. The apartment was taken back to the shell in 2023, so what is behind the walls is as new as what is in front of them.

The principal bedroom takes the sea. The second and third give onto the courtyard — quieter, and without the view, which is worth knowing before you count the bedrooms and assume they all look south. Sold under an exclusive mandate.
