Duplex penthouse at Mangabeiras, Higienópolis

Duplex penthouse at Mangabeiras, in Higienópolis, with a view over Pacaembu. On the upper level, the main suite and a sitting room; on the lower level, 3 further en-suite bedrooms, a guest toilet, a sitting room, a kitchen and a utility area: 4 en-suite bedrooms and 8 parking spaces in total. The outdoor area has a pool with deck and gourmet space, and the building also has a pool, a gym, a party room and a multi-sports court. The building occupies a through-block plot between Rua Engenheiro Edgar Egídio de Sousa and Rua das Mangabeiras, with no shared walls on either side: a rare arrangement that provides genuine cross-ventilation and open faces on both sides of the block, instead of a view of the neighbour's wall. Higienópolis is one of São Paulo's most traditional and sophisticated neighbourhoods, with tree-lined streets, mansions and iconic buildings of Paulista modernism, in an almost European, central setting. Proximity to Avenida Paulista, Mackenzie University, the Pátio Higienópolis shopping centre and Praça Vilaboim rounds out the local lifestyle.
