Furnished Studio for Sale in Ipanema – 39m² in the Former Hotel Everest

A Maria Quitéria studio in the old Hotel Everest

The Everest stood on the corner of Rua Prudente de Morais and Rua Maria Quitéria for decades, and generations of visitors to Ipanema knew it. A developer has now stripped the tower back and rebuilt it as apartments. This Maria Quitéria studio is one of them, and nobody has lived in it.

It sits high in the building, takes the morning sun, and looks out over both the sea and the mountains. Corner sites like this one rarely change hands in Ipanema.

Thirty-nine square metres, delivered furnished

The main room runs to 28 m² on its own, which is generous for a studio. A balcony with a gourmet counter opens off it, and a social bathroom completes the plan.

The developer hands the unit over completely furnished. Consequently, a buyer takes possession of something finished rather than a shell that still needs joinery, appliances and a decorator.

The roof does the rest

A full leisure floor occupies the roof, with a pool and terraces that look straight at Dois Irmãos and the Pedra da Gávea. Meanwhile, the building holds 37 condominium parking spaces.

The address is the stretch locals call the quadrilátero do charme: the few blocks behind the beach where Ipanema keeps its restaurants, its galleries and its quieter residential streets.

Who buys this

At R$ 2,850,000 for 39 m² this is not a yield play. It is a small, finished, low-maintenance base in the best-known address in Rio, in a building nobody has used yet. Furthermore, the retrofit means modern services behind a façade with real history.

Costs

The asking price is R$ 2,850,000. The condominium fee runs R$ 1,517 per month and the annual IPTU comes to R$ 459.
