One-bedroom duplex penthouse with a sea-view terrace in Vidigal

This small duplex penthouse is in a well-placed part of Vidigal and is ready to move into. It has 55 m² of interior space over two floors, one bedroom with its own bathroom, and a private terrace that looks out over the Atlantic.

From the terrace the view runs from the Cagarras Islands across to the twin peaks of Dois Irmãos. The bedroom also faces the sea.

The apartment was renovated recently. The floors are polished concrete, the woodwork has been refinished, the bathroom has a walk-in shower, and the kitchen is a compact open-plan design. There is air conditioning, built-in wardrobes, cable TV and an outdoor kitchen area. The building is secure and has a garage, as well as visitor parking.

The property is exempt from IPTU, the municipal property tax, and its monthly fees are low, which keeps running costs modest. Vidigal beach is about 500 metres away, and Leblon is around fifteen minutes on foot.

It suits a buyer looking for a compact home or a second base in Rio with a sea view, modern finishes and very little work to do before moving in. Space is limited, but the terrace and the outlook give it far more room to breathe than its size suggests.
