Magnificent 'Belle Epoque' 3 Bedroom, 3 Bathroom Apartment in Carré D'Or, Nice.

The second we saw this apartment, we fell in love with it. From the perfect location to the elegant grandeur of the building and the apartment itself. The building has been highlighted as one of the finest examples of the famous Hausmann style of architecture famed throughout the major cities of France from the 19th and early 20 centuries.

As a corner apartment, it has an amazing double aspect light filled living room. It has a wonderful sense of space throughout which strikes you immediately when you open the door into an almost 3m wide hallway that runs through the apartment into the living room in front. The second and third bedrooms are off a second hallway which gives a fantastic sense of calm, something which we really appreciate with our three daughters, now teenagers.

We completely renovated it when we bought it in 2010 and modernised it while keeping all of the original features such as the ornate plasterwork of the high ceilings and the original parquet flooring. Whenever we return to Nice, we have to pinch ourselves that we own such a magnificent luxurious holiday home.
