Overview
This is a truly rare opportunity to own an architect-renovated apartment in the very heart of Nice’s vibrant city centre, just steps from the Promenade des Anglais and the lush Coulée Verte. Situated in a classic bourgeois building with elevator access, this exceptional 3-room property offers 138 m² of interior space, full of character and charm, and opens onto an extraordinary 160 m² terrace — a true rarity for this area.
Designed by two renowned Niçois architects and featured in Elle Décoration, the apartment skillfully blends the timeless elegance of preserved bourgeois features (parquet flooring in herringbone pattern, cornices, ceiling height of 3.5 m) with high-end modern finishes, natural light, and outstanding functionality.
The Layout
Upon entering the apartment (13.71 m²), you're welcomed by elegant custom storage and a guest WC (1.15 m²). The main living space (34.15 m²) is bathed in light and offers beautiful open views onto the Château hill and surrounding architecture. The independent kitchen (11.15 m²) is fully equipped in a contemporary style and opens directly onto the main terrace of 104.84 m² — a tranquil and sun-filled outdoor living space rarely found in central Nice.
The sleeping quarters consist of two generous bedrooms:
• Bedroom 1 (13.56 m²) and
• A luxurious master suite (26.30 m²), complete with private bathroom (3.91 m²), walk-in dressing area, and direct access to a second terrace of 54.28 m². This suite also connects to a veranda (4.56 m²), currently set up as an independent studio nook.
A stylish shower room with dressing (9.44 m²) completes the main level.
The mezzanine level includes two separate additional rooms — 9.71 m² and 8.21 m² — perfect as children’s bedrooms, guest space, home office, or a creative studio. Two small mezzanine landings (0.97 m² and 3.82 m²) and an additional shower room with WC (2.6 m²) serve this level, creating a highly versatile upper floor.
Total terraces surface: 160+ m²
Total habitable surface: 138.68 m²
This is the perfect blend of classic Niçois heritage and cosmopolitan Mediterranean lifestyle — ideal for families, professionals, or anyone seeking peace, space, and style in one of the most prestigious areas of Nice.
The Area
Located in the sought-after Masséna district, this property places you at the heart of it all: shopping on Avenue Jean Médecin, dining in the Old Town or Cours Saleya, and relaxing along the famed Promenade des Anglais — all within minutes on foot. You benefit from immediate access to local schools including the prestigious Lycée Masséna, public transport (tram, bus, train), and all conveniences (markets, bakeries, boutiques). Despite being in the vibrant city centre, the apartment enjoys peaceful surroundings and a quiet building.
