17th-century Estate With A Rooftop In Castel Sant'angelo

In Rome's vibrant city centre, in the Castel Sant'Angelo area, near Via Giulia one of the Capital's most elegant streets and known for being the first and longest to cross the city, this prestigious building for sale boasts 17th-century origins.

Located just a few steps from the Lungotevere dei Fiorentini, Castel Sant'Angelo and the Papal Basilica of St. Peter's, this extraordinary 17th-century estate stands out thanks to the particularly elegant architecture of its façade, impeccably preserved over the centuries, with its magnificent bas-relief sculpted in the centre, enriched by decorative friezes and a large arched window. Designed by Antonio da Sangallo the Younger, the building stands on three levels and offers 155 sqm of interior space, plus a splendid 50-sqm rooftop terrace. This extraordinary estate, preserved in excellent condition, still features its original layout, faithfully maintained as it was conceived, so that, upon entering it, the atmosphere one breathes is that authentic of the homes of yesteryear.

This is an unparalleled opportunity for those seeking elegance in the heart of the Eternal City, the capital of Italy and an emblem of beauty, right where Rome's most historic street, characterised by important churches, historic buildings, and refined antique and high craftsmanship shops, begins. The strategic location of the property is certainly an added value, only a minute's walk from the Lungotevere, where one can enjoy pleasant walks during one's free time in the direction of Castel Sant'Angelo and the Vatican City, with the prestigious St. Peter's Basilica. The adjacent Prati district also offers many fine restaurants and exclusive services, as do the neighbouring Rione Regola, Rione Ponte and Trastevere.

On three levels for a total of 155 sqm, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the building offers access from the ground floor to a cosy hallway leading to a large storeroom characterised by splendid vaulted ceilings and Roman bricks, with independent access directly from the street. A staircase leads to the first level, where there is a spacious living area of over 30 sqm with perfect lighting, a first bedroom, a bathroom and a small balcony with a storage/laundry area. Going up to the next level, a large room of over 30 sqm is lit by a characteristic arched window. Next door is a kitchen, a bathroom and a balcony with a storage room. From this second floor, there is access to the marvellous 50-sqm rooftop terrace above, the real jewel in the crown of the property, an outdoor space ideal for moments of relaxation and conviviality in complete privacy.

The unique and distinctive character of this historical estate for sale is given by the perfect combination of architecture and art, a small jewel among the real estate treasures of the Eternal City. In addition to being perfect as a prestigious private home, it lends itself to being used as an exclusive location for high-standing events and receptions. This is certainly due to its location, absolutely enviable, just a few steps from St. Peter's Basilica and Castel Sant'Angelo, right in Rome's city centre.
