A duplex apartment situated directly above the former residence of Argentine Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner in Buenos Aires' upscale Recoleta neighborhood has returned to the market. The property, located at Juncal 1300, is listed for $930,000 and boasts 280.57 square meters of covered space along with a 120-square-meter exclusive terrace.
The apartment offers four en-suite bedrooms, including a master suite with a walk-in closet. It also features double circulation, a main kitchen with space for a breakfast area, a kitchenette serving three suites, a guest powder room, and service quarters. Original parquet floors maintain the building's classic style.
A unique aspect of the duplex is its independent second level, which includes a separate 30-square-meter apartment with its own kitchen and bathroom. This level also houses the laundry area, a barbecue grill, and a swimming pool on the expansive terrace. Notably, both levels of the main duplex have separate entrances.
The building itself holds historical significance, having been the address of Fernández de Kirchner for years and the site of political gatherings. It was also where a failed assassination attempt against her occurred in 2022. The current owner purchased the duplex over 30 years ago in a deteriorated state and undertook a significant renovation, transforming it into a family home.
