Two-storey Penthousw With Terrace In Old Milan

In the heart of Milan, in one of the most fascinating areas of the city, which best embodies the prestige of Old Milan, this exclusive two-storey penthouse with a balcony and large terrace with a veranda is for sale, on the top two floors of an elegant, finely renovated early 20th-century building.

The property is on the fourth and fifth floors, offering a total of 400 sqm, served by two independent entrances to the floors and an elegant internal spiral staircase connecting the two levels. To this square footage are added 65 sqm of outdoor space, composed by a long 15-sqm balcony that opens out into a large terrace with a 50-sqm veranda from which to admire a view that sweeps over the quiet neighbouring alleyways, opening onto a large part of the city. The privacy, silence and tranquillity that one can breathe within the walls of the house are due not only to the high floor but also to the flat's views, all of which overlook the inner courtyard on one side and the street parallel to Corso Magenta on the other, much more reserved and less busy than the renowned shopping street.

Recently restored in the context of the renovation of the entire building, which was carried out with special care in the choice of materials and finishes of the highest level that echo in detail the French-inspired architectural style typical of the period, it is a true architectural jewel with flexible interior spaces, now used for commercial purposes as the site of a representative office, ready if necessary to be rethought in a residential key according to one's living preferences.

The building's extraordinarily refined façade, as well as the entrance, the concierge service during office hours and on Saturday mornings, the elegant wood-panelled lift that serves the floors, a beautiful representative staircase overlooking the inner courtyard, two cellars in this prestigious building, as well as the possibility of renting and/or purchasing parking spaces available in the building's mechanised garage are among the most desirable features for luxury living in the city centre.

This two-storey penthouse for sale is located in the setting of Corso Magenta, in a district known to be one of the most exclusive and central in Milan, a few steps from the Sforza Castle and the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie, where Leonardo da Vinci's Last Supper is kept. The area is one of the nerve centres of Milanese life and offers a perfect combination of history, culture, comfort and top-class services. Its proximity to international schools, universities, luxury boutiques, restaurants and clubs makes it a highly desirable area for those who dream of an exceptional lifestyle. 

The attention to detail and the quality of the finishes make this home a real estate gem that reflects the elegance and grandeur typical of Milan. The historical elements have been carefully preserved, integrated with modern conveniences and advanced technology. The sumptuous floors of all the rooms in original Lombard terracotta or antique parquet flooring offer a sublime example of Italian craftsmanship, as do the high beamed ceilings or the splendid doors and elegant fixtures with original brass details. Big, floor-to-ceiling ‘French-style’ windows not only provide excellent natural light to the rooms, but also ensure silence, privacy and security for those who stay there.

The internal configuration of the rooms, currently used as offices, offers the possibility of rethinking the layout of the spaces, customising them according to one's living needs, in an overall context of maximum elegance. Six total rooms could become bedrooms, while there are already four existing bathrooms and a kitchen. The top floor reveals the hidden jewel of the property: a large exclusive terrace with a view over the rooftops of Milan, reached via a long balcony that leads through several French windows to the rooms on the fifth floor. This outdoor space is a true corner of private paradise, perfect for enjoying moments of relaxation in the sun or under the stars. 

The property was created by merging two separate apartments, now connected internally by a convenient designer staircase, and each, fourth and fifth floor, still retains its entrance door on the landing. This makes it possible to easily restore the original separation into two separate units, should the wish arise, with their own independent entrance on the floor.

The property is completed by two cellars and the possibility of renting and/or purchasing parking spaces available in the building's mechanised garage, accessible from the road at the rear, which is wider and more convenient for transit and manoeuvring.

To choose this luxury apartment in the heart of Milan is to embrace an exclusive and refined lifestyle. The combination of aesthetic beauty, technological comfort, ample space and enviable location makes this residence unique. An unmissable opportunity for those who wish to combine historical prestige with superior living comfort and enjoy utmost tranquillity and privacy.
