Marvelous 1930ies penthouse in Flamengo beach for sale / Rio de Janeiro
This spectacular 2-storey penthouse with panoramic terraces and breathtaking views of the Sugar Loaf, the Guanabara bay area, Flamengo Park and Niteroi is located in the prestigious Flamengo neighborhood.
The Seabra Building from 1930 is an important landmark in Flamengo with his unmistakable eclectic style, most evident in the façade and the entrance hall, distinguishing it from the orthodoxy of the Classic style which before dominated the Carioca architecture.
When Flamengo was at it’s peak as a fashionable neighborhood, the Portuguese commander Gervásio Seabra brought from Italy an architect to make the project for this building to be constructed at Flamengo Beach, inspired by a Tuscan castle, for which he was nourishing a passion.
The building was known as the “Carioca Dakota”, in homage to the New York Dakota Building, where, among others, John Lennon had an apartment.
The entrance hall is an unique example of the style, the surfaces all painted with the most diverse motifs, the floors made of marble - imported, of course -, displaying the most diverse ornamental patterns. The walls are made with stones, mortar and whale oil, and an immense luster of wrought iron high lightens the craftsmanship.
