This extraordinary, award-winning Patrimonio Hist rico (Historical Heritage) building was constructed by the architect Alejandro Bustillo in 1926, and is one of the treasures kept by the city of Buenos Aires. Living in this 397 sq mt (4273 sq ft) apartment on Av. M. T. de Alvear, which looks over Plaza Rodr guez Pe a, is a real privilege.
Walls covered in French silk and brocade, large glass windows divided in Palladio style, and oak floors from Slovenia frame perfectly preserved splendour of days gone by. Ideal for hosting, the reception consists of a grand foyer covered in Parisian stone with mirrors and arched ceilings. Very light, the living room and dining room complete the scene, both with fireplaces, old crystal chandeliers and magnificent views over the plaza. The master suite, with a marble bathroom and grand dressing room, look over the large plaza surrounded by low buildings and gardens. On the other side of the passageway are two more bedrooms, both en-suite, with recently remodelled bathrooms.
In the opposite wing, the service sector consists of a newly renovated kitchen with a breakfast bar, butler s pantry (or scullery), larder, laundry room, a drying room and a stairway that goes up to the service apartment that can be use as another family room as well. This apartment also features a private storage room and a wine cellar.
One of the bonuses of this building is the circular design: the apartment surrounds an extraordinarily airy and light centre, looking over the large internal patio on the ground floor. The Family Room, today an intimate living room, looks through the immense wood-framed windows onto this magnificent patio, and the air which seeps in is fresh and quiet (the building has only five floors, each one a unique apartment). With a grand Tudor-style fireplace, parquet floors and lots of natural light, this is an ideal space for afternoon reading and family quietude.
