In the exclusive setting of the upper section of Borgo Canale, in one of the most fascinating and sought-after areas of Upper Bergamo, we are offering for sale an elegant townhouse extending from ground to roof, created within an ancient watchtower dating back to the fifteenth century.
The property, which underwent a refined renovation approximately thirty years ago, is now in impeccable condition, while fully preserving the charm of its original structure. The tower’s ancient walls have been skilfully restored and enhanced, creating an atmosphere of great character where history, elegance and comfort coexist harmoniously.
The house is arranged predominantly vertically (with the possibility of considering the installation of a lift), following the tower’s distinctive layout, and offers captivating views and ever-changing perspectives from every level. Light is one of the property’s defining features: its numerous windows overlook the greenery of the hills and the evocative Conca d’Oro, creating a wonderful sense of openness and privacy.
The views towards Borgo Canale are also particularly pleasant: the property is located along a stretch of the street where no other buildings stand directly opposite, allowing for open views and an exceptional level of natural light.
The interiors retain high-quality finishes and highly elegant details, including marble, parquet flooring and splendid nineteenth-century frescoed ceilings, which lend the rooms a classic and distinguished character.
The property comprises a spacious living room, a second substantial living area with kitchen and dining room, an additional sitting room, three bedrooms and four bathrooms. Completing the living accommodation is a splendid reading room, particularly bright and intimate, ideal as a private space for relaxation or reading.
The top level also features a large attic, a versatile space that can be reinterpreted and used for a variety of purposes according to the needs and lifestyle of its future owners.
The property also includes a parking space with access from Via degli Orti.
A residence of rare elegance, distinguished by a strong historical identity, bright rooms, spectacular views and an atmosphere of absolute privacy.
A home designed for those wishing to live in the historic heart of Bergamo, surrounded by the beauty of ancient architecture and, at the same time, by the tranquillity and greenery of the hills.
