Historical Apartment In A Street Parallel To Via Monte Napoleone

This fine, bright and finely furnished apartment is for sale on an exclusive, more secluded road that is parallel to Via Monte Napoleone, a road that is full of marvellous historical buildings with illustrious testimonies of the 15th-16th centuries; a perfect apartment for a stay in the heart of Milan's Fashion District.

Located within a prestigious period building that has been wonderfully restored on the façade, with a delightful internal courtyard, the property is spread over two floors - third and fourth -, connected by a few internal steps, for a total internal surface area of 156 sqm. Naturally reachable by lift, the entrance is on the third floor, where the living area is developed with a living room and adjoining eat-in kitchen, utility room and a first bedroom. On the upper floor, a second bedroom and two bathrooms complete the interiors, all overlooking the splendid courtyard of the luxurious building overlooking one of the most desirable streets in Milan's historic centre.

Peaceful, quiet and reserved, the street rises behind Monte Napoleone, the street of Haute Couture, amidst glittering boutiques of the most famous fashion houses and luxurious 5-star hotels inside marvellous historical palaces. Among the most illustrious memories that determine the prestige of this street are the receptions of Countess Clara Maffei, the heart of a Risorgimento coterie of writers, artists, musicians and patriots. It was also here, between 1894 and 1900, that the teenage Albert Einstein lived, while a few streets further on Eugenio Montale, one of the greatest Italian poets of the 20th century and Nobel Prize winner for Literature, lived and died. The location is enviable for visiting the city's major attractions on foot: a few steps away, along the beautiful Via Manzoni, we meet the Teatro alla Scala. The magnificent Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II leads from the Piazza of the same name: passing through this extraordinary structure built in 1870, surmounted by a glass dome and enchanting mosaic flooring, you reach the iconic Piazza del Duomo. Brera, the most exclusive district in the historic centre of Milan, is within easy reach: here, among the streets of ‘old Milan’, are some of the most prestigious historic palazzi and more than 80 permanent design stores, including workshops, art galleries, shops, museums, cultural and art centres, as well as the famous Academy of Fine Arts and the Brera Art Gallery. It is also home to some of the city's chicest luxury boutique hotels, including Mandarin Oriental, Bulgari, Armani, Grand Hotel et de Milan and Portrait Milano.

In this exclusive location, this apartment for sale is a beautiful historical object that preserves all the charm of the many fine details typical of the period, mainly in wood, a material that predominates throughout the house.

Very quiet and reserved, thanks to the internal facing in an already quiet street despite the very central location, the charming property boasts absolute privacy and maximum quietness, offering the perfect nest for those who intend to live in the beating heart of Milan, in the most luxurious area of the city centre, behind the elegant fashion street.
