VILLA HARMONIE

A 60 apartment development in the bourgeois Musiciens quarter

Situated in the heart of the Musiciens quarter, a stone’s throw from Avenue Jean Medecin, the beaches and the celebrated Promenade des Anglais, this residence is composed of two buildings sub-divided into different-sized units that range from spacious studios to four-bedroom duplexes. The majority of the properties overlook an interior garden and offer generous loggias or beautiful balconies. The area offers convenient and comfortable living: luxury boutiques, principal high street chain-stores and schools are all relatively close at hand.

Even though Villa Harmonie is situated in a prosperous area of Nice, security is at a re-assuring level. The main hall entrance is equipped with videophones and a double-door entry system which features solid aluminium frames filled with armoured glass. Elevators in both buildings are all control-accessed , as is the entrance to the secure underground car park.

The interior design of these apartments is of a high standard : faience tiling in the kitchen and bathrooms, sandstone flooring in all other rooms and windows equipped with double-glazing for sound-proofing and thermal insulation.

Villa Harmonie currently has a wide selection of products for sale, ranging from studios costing €193,000 to four-bedroom apartments at €695,000. All units are due to be completed by mid-2008. For an extra €31,000, parking is available.
