Two-storey Penthouse With Panoramic Terrace In Venice
Prestigious apartment for sale in Venice's sestiere Castello
Bright and spacious penthouse with historical details and charming views over Venice's roofs
In the heart of Venice, inside an elegant Gothic palace dating back to the early 15th century, stands this exclusive penthouse for sale. The property, which can be maintained as a single unit or divided into two, offers 340 sqm on two levels and boasts a delightful 10-sqm brick terrace, perfect for enjoying the city's magic in total privacy. The apartment, characterised by big windows in typical Venetian style, enjoys exceptional brightness and offers spacious and refined rooms, enriched by fine architectural details.
Located in the Castello sestiere, one of Venice's most authentic and lively districts, this penthouse is just a few steps away from St. Mark's Square and the city's most renowned calli. The area offers a perfect balance of historical elegance and local daily life, with a variety of boutiques, restaurants and typical cafés. The Biennale Park, famous for hosting the prestigious Biennale of Contemporary Art every two years, is nearby, offering an important connection to both the surrounding natural environment and the international art scene.
The palazzo that houses this property is a remarkable example of Venetian Gothic architecture. Built in the first half of the 15th century for a noble patrician family, it features a façade that, according to historians, was once frescoed by Paolo Veronese, a famous Italian Renaissance painter known for his rich and decorative style. His works, characterised by brilliant colours and monumental compositions, decorate many palaces and churches in Venice. The structure of the building shows a harmonious composition, with a main floor characterised by fifth-order arches and a fine openwork corner window. Inside the courtyard, one can still admire a wellhead and an impressive open staircase, evidence of the historical richness of the building, which was carefully restored in 1995.
The entrance to the apartment leads to a majestic living area, where a bright living room with light wood parquet flooring and a fireplace is flanked by more halls and bedrooms and a refined dining room. From here, there is access to a convenient small dining room and a spacious kitchen. The living room, made even more charming by coloured glass windows, provides an atmospheric atmosphere thanks to the play of natural light reflecting on the interior. From the windows, an extraordinary panorama opens up over the city's rooftops to the majestic silhouette of St. Mark's Bell Tower. The spaces, generous and versatile, allow maximum freedom for customisation, offering the possibility of adapting the property to one's own needs, further enhancing its elegance. A wooden staircase leads to the upper floor, characterised by exposed beams and skylights that amplify the brightness of the rooms. From this level you have direct access to the splendid terrace, a private corner enveloped in the charm of the Serenissima, where you can relax and enjoy the view over the rooftops of one of the most magical cities in the world.
This penthouse for sale is an unrepeatable opportunity for those who wish to live in one of Italy's most beautiful cities within a prestigious historical context. The combination of spaciousness, brightness, unique architectural details and a strategic location makes this estate an ideal choice for those seeking an exclusive home or a valuable investment in the heart of Venice.
