History and Uniqueness in the Heart of San Vito

In Vicolo delle Ville, we offer for sale a historic villa dating back to the early 1800s, though its traces fade into earlier years when the hill of San Vito was a rural area and the simple dwellings were countryside sheds. After a staircase elevates it above street level, the view opens onto the lush garden, a hidden gem out of sight from most; the main facade of the villa opens onto the garden, which, although in need of complete renovation, still reveals the splendor of the past (for many years it was also home to the English Consulate in Trieste). The villa presents itself as a compact structure, developed over two floors and a partially habitable attic. Underneath the dwelling, a large garage/cellar extends beneath three-quarters of the structure. Inside, the villa is virtually divided between the living area on the ground floor and the sleeping area on the first floor; on the ground floor, we find a large entrance, a living room with original parquet overlooking Vicolo delle Ville, a dining area, a large and bright kitchen, and a windowed service area with a shower; from the kitchen, a French door leads directly to the garden and the artesian well that allows convenient irrigation of the entire green area. At the back of the villa, behind the kitchen, stand the ruins of what were two annexes used as pantries/warehouses. A steep staircase leads from the entrance to the upper floor where we find three large double bedrooms, all equipped with independent wrought iron balconies overlooking the garden; the room facing Vicolo delle Ville also enjoys a pleasant sea view. On the same floor, there is also a windowed service area with a shower. It is important to remember that the entire complex requires a complete renovation which could also include the creation of one or more parking spaces.
