This gem offers multiple separate large terraces with breathtaking views. The living room/dining room boasts a wall of windows onto a 25 ft terrace facing the magnificent St Jean Baptiste Cathedral. With its beautiful lit up copper dome, marble facade with carved angels and oversized wooden doors reminiscent of the churches you see on the streets of Paris. Throughout the day, the apartment is flooded with Eastern light that begins with magical sunrises and ends with red tinted clouds at sunset. If you're looking for those enchanting views, look no further as from every window, you'll be touched by the beauty that surrounds this residence. There is an open kitchen that is separated from the dining room by a restaurant grade stainless steel counter with bar stools.
