Design penthouse in the heart of Dorsoduro

Questo extraordinary attic apartment is located in the Dorsoduro sestiere, more precisely between the historic headquarters of Ca’ Foscari University and Campo San Barnaba. An excellent location for services and at the same time one of the most artistic and cultural areas of Venice; the area is known for its Historic Palaces as well as the Museum of 18th-Century Venetian Art: Ca’ Rezzonico, near which is the vaporetto stop of the same name. The district is characterized by typical buildings dating between the 16th and 17th centuries, and it is within one of these that our “jewel” of an apartment is set. As you enter through the main doorway and pass through the common areas, you immediately breathe a typically Venetian atmosphere; you reach the fourth floor and, once you cross the threshold, you instantly feel surrounded by a Unique Beauty that pervades the entire setting. Extremely bright, with a breathtaking view: on one side the spectacular gardens of Ca’ Rezzonico and on the other the rooftops of Venice. The apartment has undergone a radical and recent renovation, aimed on the one hand at enhancing the historic elements and on the other at achieving a modern, technically advanced home, to be lived in contemporary style. Complete refurbishment of the roof with waterproof membrane and external insulation. Reconstruction of the floor slab, restoration of the original beams and masonry, and total renewal of the systems, with air-conditioning and independent heating with remote control. The spaces include a refined, fully equipped kitchen where you can indulge in fantastic recipes to enjoy with company or friends in the dining area adjacent to the living area, ideal for relaxing or comfortable reading while seated on a large sofa. The bedroom is on the upper level and is reached via a comfortable solid-oak staircase: an open space from which you can admire the view over the greenery, yet set apart from the rest of the home, as it is suspended in a truly original sleeping area. All furnishings were custom-designed and made with high-quality materials, to make every corner of the home functional. The apartment is well suited as a primary residence or a second home for those who love good taste as well as comfort. The property truly aligns with Venice’s illustrious history and its vibrant artistic culture.
