It takes a pretty special place to satisfy a movie star, her rock star husband, their children, and the entourage necessary for working international stars. So many choices, so little time. A mere home? Too pedestrian. A McMansion? Not quite Mr. and Mrs. Coldplay’s style. So the Martins took up residence at The Icon in a penthouse. In fact, it was customized to their particular needs and tastes. Their staff occupied several other units in the building. Ms. Paltrow requested only a claw-foot tub in the master bath and a Viking stove for cooking family dinners.
Size does not equal fabulous. In this pied-à-terre in the sky, the amazing views from this penthouse equal any international skyline. Exquisitely placed in all living areas, these views allow sheets of natural light to wash over the incredible contemporary design.
Clean lines, cork floors over concrete, and a complete sense of privacy fill this residence. Bathrooms are sleek and luxurious and provide plenty of discreet storage space. Did I mention the spectacular views?
Overlooking the ninth-floor pool, palazzo, and elegant entertaining areas, the penthouse provides a bird’s-eye view of Nashville and beyond. Fire pits, two fitness areas, a courtyard pool with Zen-like water features, and a pool table complete the entertainment floor, accessible only by key card. Another pool is located on the fourth floor.
With over 50% occupancy, a neighborly atmosphere exists at The Icon, along with efficient, 24-hour concierge services. A parking garage with controlled access provides safety for residents and guests.
In the lobby, an impressive two-story art installation created by Jeff Hager complements contemporary seating areas. Backlit onyx walls flank high-speed elevators, which also contain a TV for the latest headlines.
As one of Nashville’s hippest urban neighborhoods, The Gulch offers residential living, retail shops, and restaurants. It is just minutes from entertainment venues The Station Inn, 12th & Porter, and Mercy Lounge. Nashville’s burgeoning art district, Midtown nightlife, and downtown watering holes are just five minutes away.
The Icon is 22 stories, offering unobstructed views of the city, one- and two-bedroom units with urban living floor plans, and open loft layouts. To learn more about The Icon contact Ashlyn Heinz with the Bristol Development Group at 615-579-7423.
