The best of the Belle Epoque, completely renovated & furnished

This beautiful apartment was built in 1928 in the heart of Recoleta, one of the best neighborhoods in Buenos Aires, in the quintessential French style: 11-foot ceilings, crown molding, painted glass transoms, "eslavonia" parquet floors, brass and copper door pulls and keys, street balconies with black wrought iron rails. In 2008, the apartment was completely renovated to preserve these original charms while incorporating modern conveniences:

• Kitchen and bathrooms completely gutted and rebuilt with the best fixtures and all marble flooring and granite countertops and backsplashes. 
• All new wiring and plumbing, new plumbing fixtures, electric water heater, stove top (gas), oven (electric), frio/calor split (heating and air system), glass-front Smeg refrigerator, CATA kitchen vent, and GE wireless alarm system.
• All woodwork stripped of paint and refinished down to natural redwood.
• Original moldings, parquet floors, and painted glass windows preserved and restored.
• Mullioned windows restored and resealed.
• All walls replastered and painted.
• Custom-made weather stripping ("burletes") applied to all exterior doors (entry, service, and balcony) and exterior windows.
• Custom "vestidor" constructed in small third bedroom, with double built-in drawers, shoe storage, shelves and cubbies.

Additional improvements: de epoca ceiling fans, Italian Murano glass ceiling lamps, custom raw silk drapes on street side, custom solar roller shades contrafrente.
