Description
Rarely in Venice can one find a property with a private entrance, private water-entrance (with adjoining storage, private mooring and laundry) and terrace, spreading over three floors, all in excellent condition. The building offers the possibility of having two autonomous apartment within the same unit. What makes this house even more precious is its location: in the heart of the most authentic Venice, in Sestier di Castello.
From the Salizada (a name that in Venetian means a paved street) one enters the hallway with a private water-entrance and private mooring, ample storage space and a service bathroom with shower. The stairs lead to the first floor, where there is a large living room overlooking the terrace with view onto a small canal (Rio) and a dining room with a contemporary designed kitchenette. On the same floor are a double bedroom with walk-in wardrobe, a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom with shower and enriched with mosaic elements, and a second bathroom with shower and bathtub, both with beautiful marble finishes. The wooden floors and exposed beams of the high ceiling add warmth and blend harmoniously with beautifully crafted decorative elements such as Murano glass chandeliers, Persian carpets and magnificent late 19th-century furnishings. The rooms are brightly lit, thanks to skylights in the roof to direct light to the first floor.
On the second floor, there is a living room with kitchenette, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. The exposed beams and lighting give the second floor a more contemporary feel, combining Nordic-style design with classic furnishing elements, while the wooden floors and the choice of colours of the furnishing fabrics give a touch of warmth and originality. Every room of this property is designed with taste and refinement, including the ducted heating system and air conditioning, the corridors and staircases that connect the different floors.
This property is just a few steps from the Arsenale, the Biennale Gardens and the lively Via Garibaldi, in the most authentic area of Venice, far from the classic tourist routes. Also within walking distance is the Basilica di San Pietro di Castello, historically the first to be built in the Lagoon, which has undergone variations and reconstructions over the centuries. From the ‘Giardini’ stop, about a 10-minute walk away, water-buses connect all of Venice and the islands.
Although it is a very quiet area, there is no lack of delicious restaurants and bars where you can enjoy typical specialities or a more exclusive menu. Via Garibaldi is a collage of traditional venues, small shops selling exquisite local crafts and bars where you can sip a cocktail or an excellent glass of Prosecco. A dive into the truest Venice, where time slows down and offers glimpses of spectacular beauty.
