This article details the recent listing of a lavish penthouse in Nashville's Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences, priced at an astonishing $34 million. The property, developed by Malibu real estate broker Chris Cortazzo, features an interior design collaboration with Martyn Lawrence Bullard and 210 Design House, creating a unique aesthetic described as a blend of 'James Bond and Lenny Kravitz.' This listing has set a new benchmark for luxury real estate in Davidson County, significantly surpassing previous sales records.
The penthouse, occupying half of the 40th floor, offers nearly 5,000 square feet of exquisite living space. Upon entering, residents are greeted by blonde hardwood floors and solid black lacquer doors, setting a tone of sophisticated elegance. A highlight is the approximately $1 million worth of integrated smart-home technology, ensuring modern convenience and control over the opulent environment. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls frame breathtaking views of the Nashville skyline, the newly constructed Nissan Stadium, and the tranquil Cumberland River, providing a constant visual spectacle.
The interior architecture includes a grand living and screening room, centered around a sculptural gas fireplace custom-made in France by Bloch Designs. The dining area seamlessly transitions into a gallery-style kitchen, distinguished by a magnificent 16-foot island crafted from Calacatta marble, meticulously sourced from Italian quarries. A secondary prep kitchen caters to more extensive culinary endeavors. The primary suite, a sanctuary of luxury, offers views of the city’s iconic 'Batman building' and features dual walk-in closets, along with a marble-clad bathroom complete with a luxurious Antonio Lupi soaking tub.
The monthly homeowners' association fees for this exclusive residence amount to $8,000, covering a comprehensive suite of premium amenities. These include 24-hour concierge services, access to state-of-the-art fitness and wellness facilities, private terrace and lounge areas, and pet-friendly services, notably a dedicated dog spa. Additionally, a new Tuscan-inspired steakhouse, Bacco, is slated to open in the spring, further enhancing the lifestyle offerings for residents.
The penthouse, owned by Chris Cortazzo, a prominent Malibu real estate broker, represents a significant investment and a bold venture into the Nashville luxury market. Cortazzo, who has been visiting Nashville for about five years, also owns a substantial 150-acre farm on the city's outskirts. Despite the recent completion of the penthouse earlier this year, he has only spent a few weekends there, indicating its primary role as a high-value asset rather than a primary residence. The property's listing and potential sale at this unprecedented price point underscore the growing demand for ultra-luxury homes in Nashville.
