Rua Rio de Janeiro

Discover a sanctuary of pure luxury in one of São Paulo's most sought-after, vibrant, and charming neighborhoods! Located on the prestigious Rua Rio de Janeiro, this apartment in the Edifício Irma Aguiar de Souza is a rare gem. Irma boasts 57 years of history and consists of a single 15-story tower. There are only 15 apartments—one per floor—served by two passenger elevators and one service elevator. Its solid and well-maintained structure attests to the quality of construction and the highest standard of maintenance care. The apartment offers 468m2 of usable area within a total of 680m2, with 70 cm slabs ensuring a serene silence and complete privacy. Among the many generous spaces, the spectacular living room accommodates multiple settings, fully open to an immense balcony overlooking the canopy of one of the neighborhood’s century-old trees, reaching up to the seventh floor, providing an irresistible feeling of freedom and lifestyle. It was love at first sight! This sense of being in a truly special property continues throughout the apartment, which features an impressive dining room, two complete individual suites, and two American-style suites connected by a spacious, functional corridor. The entire apartment was renovated by architect Dani Tassi Kasinsky, who not only designed the custom cabinetry but chose every element of the reconstruction, prioritizing a sophisticated lighting design and subtle details such as air conditioning units that blend seamlessly with the walls. The plumbing and electrical systems are entirely new, as are the frames and windows, while the original wooden floors were preserved and revitalized. The apartment underwent a highly precise artisanal woodworking process, evident in the impeccable closets and the custom cabinetry in the pantry, kitchen, and service areas. Floors and walls in wet areas are covered by Portobello tiles, and all fixtures throughout the apartment are signed by Deca. Irma is just steps from the charming Praças Buenos Ayres and Vilaboim, as well as Pátio Higienópolis Iguatemi Shopping Mall, while located on a very quiet, residential street desired by many! Living in Higienópolis means enjoying a high-quality neighborhood. Once the mansion-filled borough of early 20th-century coffee barons—due to its privileged location between the downtown streams and the strong winds from the Av. Paulista hill—it is also a unique social hub. Lush greenery, exquisite architecture, excellent infrastructure, and many essential quality services illustrate the neighborhood’s advantages, which stand out for their proximity to the most prestigious schools and universities (Colégio Sion, MACKENZIE, and FAAP), as well as exceptional gourmet dining options in numerous bars and restaurants.
