Walking through the charming Arsenale area, alongside the Canal that runs along its walls, we reach the entrance door of this small building with only two units. We go up to the second floor where the apartment is located; upon entering we are welcomed by a spacious entryway leading to the living area, consisting of a comfortable lounge with kitchenette. Large windows with an open view let in abundant light, making the room bright and inviting. Continuing on, we then find a study, also very bright, and a fully equipped bathroom with a window.
We go up the stairs to reach the bedroom, south-facing and very bright, followed by a spacious hallway ideal as a walk-in closet, connected to the attic, which is habitable and has a window. The property also includes a private storage room on the ground floor.
The entire apartment, renovated and enhanced by beautiful exposed beams, enjoys plenty of light thanks to its good exposure and is ideal both as a main home—thanks to its central yet quiet location, proximity to public transport, and a particularly lively area served by shops, restaurants and supermarkets—and as a second home, as it is located between the two Biennale venues and is also very convenient for reaching the Venice Film Festival.
The Castello sestiere, the largest and among the oldest in Venice, lies at the eastern end of the city. Long one of the city’s most populous districts, it has preserved the traditional “Venetian way of life” intact. Among the many monuments and works of art, mention must be made of the Arsenale, for centuries the cradle of the power of La Serenissima, the Basilica of Saints John and Paul, one of the Venetians’ most beloved, San Francesco in Vigna, and Santa Maria Formosa.
The property is located near the main entrance to the Arsenale, the strategic center of Venice’s power and a highly important shipbuilding complex, not far from the liveliest part of the district, Via Garibaldi, a short walk from the San Marco area to the west and two minutes from the landing stage providing connections in all directions.
