Grand Venetian · 5-bedroom condo · US$2,400,000

Twenty-six floors up, the terrace is where you actually live. Coffee as the light comes over the Sierra Madre. The bay changing color all afternoon. Dinner outside long after the sun drops into the Pacific. Penthouse 2 spans the top two floors of Grand Venetian's Tower 2000 -- entertaining and the ocean terrace below, the primary suite and its own private terrace above. The adjoining Penthouse 3 (MLS #44636) is listed by the same seller and already connects through an interior door. Penthouse 2 occupies the 26th and 27th floors of Tower 2000, the middle and most sought-after of Grand Venetian's three towers, joined by an interior stair. The main level holds the entry vestibule, living and dining rooms, the kitchen with its own pantry, a service patio, and the ocean-facing terrace with jacuzzi. Three bedroom suites open off this floor, each with a full bath and its own terrace, and a service suite with full bath sits apart from them, equally suited to staff, a kids' room, or long-staying guests. The upper level is given entirely to the primary suite: walk-in dressing room, full bath, private terrace and pool. Every room on both floors looks out. Banderas Bay and the Pacific to the west, the Sierra Madre behind, and the Puerto Vallarta skyline running north up the coast. Whales in season, cruise ships easing into port, and a sunset that changes color every evening. Close, unpack, and either move in or begin renting. The residence is offered with an assembled collection of original works by Beatriz Hidalgo de la Garza, a Mexican artist based in Puerto Vallarta, which remain in place at close. Trained as an architect before turning to painting full time, she is known for figurative portraits in soft pastel and charcoal rendered with near-photographic realism, much of it belonging to her ongoing series Alma de México. The collection conveys with the furnished sale. AREAS AND INCLUSIONS (per escritura) Held in fideicomiso (bank trust) with clean escritura title, the standard and secure structure for foreign buyers on Mexico's coastline. Tom and Hannah walk you through every step, from trust setup through closing. Grand Venetian is a landmark beachfront community in Puerto Vallarta's Hotel Zone, sitting on one of the widest stretches of sand in the bay. Residents have five swimming pools including heated and infinity-style, jacuzzis, a private beach club with direct beach access, fitness center, spa, restaurant and snack bar, game room, children's area, tennis and multipurpose courts with pickleball, landscaped gardens and picnic areas, elevators, on-property parking, and 24-hour gated security. Roughly ten minutes to Marina Vallarta and to Puerto Vallarta International Airport, fifteen to downtown and the Malecón, with hospitals, supermarkets and restaurants minutes away. Penthouse 3 (MLS #44636), the adjoining two-story penthouse, is listed by the same seller at the same price. The two are mirror images across floors 26 and 27 and are already joined by an existing interior door on the main level. Each may be purchased on its own. Acquired together they form a single residence of approximately 688.52 m2 (7,411 sq ft) spanning the entire top of the tower, with ten bedrooms including the two service suites, ten full baths, and ocean views from both primary suites, both great rooms, and one guest suite per side. Current floor plans for each residence and conceptual plans for a combined configuration are included with the listing photos. The proposed plans are conceptual and remain subject to condominium, architectural, legal and governmental approvals. Opportunities to acquire two adjoining two-story beachfront penthouses of this scale and elevation are exceptionally rare in Puerto Vallarta.
