DESCRIPTION: A luxurious apartment in the old world style. One-of-a- kind penthouse in an apartment building constructed by renown Swiss architect Cristian Schindler in 1913. Historically protected building on a wide tree-lined Boulevard located downtown in the colonial historic district (the "casco historico") in the neighborhood of SAN TELMO. Top floor apartment, just shy of 1400 square feet, has open floor plan: with two huge bedrooms, 1.5 baths, 3 traditional ornate wrought iron balconies that face the boulevard, bay windows, 15 foot ceilings, original hardwood and ceramic tile floors, and stunning urban views (primarily northern exposure--but also southern) of the cityscape and Lezama Park. Great light, great air circulation; in summer it almost always has a cool breeze from the river. Stair and elevator access (original vintage "cage" elevator). Two apartments per floor ("semi-piso"), 4 floors, huge roof top terrace with great views. Furnished with Argentine design furnishings from the 1960s and 70s. Includes high speed wireless internet (WiFi) and a 41 inch Sony TV with cable. Just as the city of Buenos Aires is known as "the Paris of South America," so the neighborhood of San Telmo can be compared to Montmarte in Paris or Greenwich Village in Manhattan. If you have a passion for history and colonial architecture, are drawn to social, economic and cultural diversity, and thrive in an atmosphere that is colorful, artistic, bohemian, and made up of people from all walks of life, then you'll feel right at home in San Telmo! METROPOLITAN AREA: SAN TELMO Outstanding location in downtown, steps away from San Telmo's biggest park--Parque Lezama, and the Museo Nacional Historico. Cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, a multitude of great cafes, bars, restaurants, tango clubs, museums, and antique shops. Defensa St turns into a swinging pedestrian walk and Plaza Dorrego hosts the big flea/antiques market every weekend. The neighborhood has a decidedly bohemian feel, and is home to many artists, musicians, actors, film makers and dancers (including American and European x-pats). In recent years, this neighborhood has also become a popular backdrop for North American and European production companies shooting TV commercials and independent films. The building was featured in a scene from the 2004 film "THE MOTORCYCLE DIARIES" (and some of the dance scenes in Robert Duvall's 2002 film "Assasination Tango" were shot in a tango bar a half block away). Centrally located, in close proximity to everything, with easy access to mass transit, subway, buses, etc. A 5 minute bus ride to the picturesque port area of LA BOCA with it's famous "Caminito" and soccer stadium. An 8 block walk to the southern end of the newly renovated upscale port area--PUERTO MADERO-- with its floating casinos, high end restaurants, marina, yacht club, and great nightlife along the river. Also nearby, the PARQUE ECOLOGICO (Ecological River Park) with its hike and bike trails, lakes, lagoons, bird watching, and lovely picnic spots. A short cab ride to Buquebus, the catamaran ferry service that leaves from a dock at the north end of Puerto Madero and makes daily trips to the cities of Montevideo and Colonia in URUGUAY. PREFERRED DESTINATIONS: Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Italy, New York City, Austin Texas, the Greater New Haven CT area.. and other Latin American and European destinations (open to suggestions!)
