Charming house with a secret garden in Monti

Unique property in the centre of Rome

The true Monti begins on Via San Martino ai Monti: this is the street that gives its name to the old Suburra district. In a 16th-century townhouse, there is a peaceful, airy home filled with natural light. The entrance is welcoming and set within the building’s ancient loggia. The windows illuminate the living room and dining room in an open-flow layout that breaks up the monotony. In the same area there is a functional kitchenette and a balcony overlooking the Basilica of Saints Sylvester and Martin in Monti. The two bedrooms can be reached from the hallway and living area. There is also an interconnected room with a light opening onto the dining area, suitable as a study or guest room. The home has an elegant resin-finished bathroom.

The property retains the charm of its era, with exposed beams and original 16th-century terracotta flooring. The feature that makes this property unique is a garden of approximately 30 sq m on the ground floor: a true green oasis with plants of all types and origins. The garden is cool and sunny in different areas, making it ideal for reading and more. The walls enclosing the space are the original Roman-era walls.

The stairs are comfortable and were recently restored. There is a feasibility study for installing a lift; this is possible, and some condominium owners may already be interested. The current owners have never felt the need for one; therefore, any future installation would be arranged and paid for by the purchasers. The property overlooks the quiet alley and the Basilica. It has double- and triple-glazed windows, installed purely as a precaution.
