Apartment With A Period Design Next To Milan's Conservatory
A stone's throw from San Babila, a design object designed in the 1950s by a pair of architects who were students of Gio Ponti is on sale
Refined 50's style estate with balcony, cellar and garage possibility for sale in a building designed by architect Luigi Mattioni
In the heart of Milan just behind the historical Piazza San Babila, a few steps from the beautiful Via Conservatorio, this prestigious late 1950s apartment for sale has remained extraordinarily faithful to the interior design of one of the most innovative couples of architects and furniture designers in post-war Italy, Eugenia Alberti Reggio and her husband Gian Luigi Reggio, artists and pupils of Gio Ponti. The apartment, perfectly preserved, is a splendid testimony to the golden age of Italian design in a domestic setting, as authentic and beautiful as it was when it was designed in 1959.
Situated on the first floor of a 1950s building designed by architect Luigi Mattioni - for which a major restoration of the façade is scheduled to begin in February 2025 -, this Milanese flat offers an exclusive opportunity to live in great style in one of the city's most renowned neighbourhoods. The location is absolutely privileged to immerse oneself in the social life of the chicest Milan, with its fine restaurants, luxury boutiques and historical monuments. From here, it is also possible to reach the most iconic landmarks and monuments of the Milanese capital in just a few steps, such as Piazza San Babila, Milan's Cathedral, Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and La Scala Theatre.
Featuring two entrances, the main one and the second service entrance, the flat has approximately 240 sqm of interior space, with two very spacious comfortable bedrooms, separated from the living area by a long corridor that guarantees privacy, and a habitable kitchen with access to a small 4-sqm balcony. A cellar completes the property proposal, while the possibility of purchasing a garage at a very advantageous price for the area adds to the comforts offered to those who choose to live in this luxury solution.
Access to the estate is through the master entrance, which is very large and opens into a bright living room with a height of 3.30 metres, divided by various pieces of masonry furniture and with a bar cabinet in the centre that also serves as a divider, dividing the space into a lounge area with seating and a master dining area. All the original furniture, the table, as well as the chairs and chandeliers, were designed exclusively for the flat by the architect couple and show the influence of Gio Ponti, Ico Parisi and Carlo de Carli. A small breakfast room is developed adjacent to the kitchen, with access to a small balcony, and next to it the service area complete with laundry, bathroom and small bedroom.
A long corridor with hidden storage space leads to the sleeping area, with the master bedroom of considerable size, dominated by a central bed with custom-made bedside tables and a wall of full-height wardrobes. A second bedroom is ideal for children, furnished with several unique pieces, including hanging cupboards covered with children's drawings and colourful naïve murals. Both have their own bathroom, the master one still sporting the original tiles.
Living here means choosing luxury living in one of Milan's most exclusive areas, where history, culture and modernity come together in an unparalleled living experience.
