Description

Designed by architect Lanzerotti and built in the early 1900s, this villa is an elegant residence with timeless style, telling the story of a fascinating era. Located in a quiet area, it strikes a perfect balance between the charm of the past and the opportunities of the future - a true gem ready to become your personal oasis of style and comfort. The heart of the property is its large garden of approximately 400 m², a green retreat that embraces the villa and offers a peaceful haven in the heart of the city. The two separate entrances, including one driveway entrance, provide convenient parking for up to four cars - a precious feature combining practicality and exclusivity. Here, you can spend your days surrounded by nature, designing an enchanting garden for special events or simply relaxing in the shade of mature trees. The principal floor, spanning approximately 200 m², is bathed in natural light, enhancing the spacious rooms and high ceilings to create an atmosphere of refined elegance and warmth. The entrance leads into a double living room, perfect for entertaining, while the dining room, with its balcony overlooking the garden, offers an ideal setting for gatherings and dinners. The spacious, customizable kitchen enjoys a delightful garden view, making every moment a pleasure. The generously sized bedrooms ensure tranquility and comfort, while the two bathrooms await your personal touch to transform them into spaces of pure wellness. With a few updates, this floor can become a bespoke, elegant, and functional living environment. At garden level, the semi-basement houses a cellar to be renovated, but with great potential: it could be turned into a hobby room, a playroom, or even a private spa. The mezzanine level, featuring two versatile rooms, offers further possibilities: a sophisticated home office, a reading nook, or a private relaxation space. Adding even more value, there is a small independent office/studio with its own private entrance on the semi-basement level - an ideal space that can be rented out or used as an elegant professional office separate from the main residence. While retaining all its original charm, the villa requires modernization to fully integrate contemporary comforts. Its solid structure and original cement tile floors provide the perfect foundation for creating an exclusive, tailor-made home. This villa is far more than just a property: it is a rare opportunity to live in a home of unique character, offering spacious, versatile environments ready to be transformed into a one-of-a-kind residence.

Location: Ognina-Picanello, Catania

The villa is located on Via Vezzosi, in the neighborhood of Picanello, a residential area that, while not among the most renowned in Catania, offers great potential. In recent years, the neighborhood has undergone significant evolution, with a mix of historic buildings and new constructions that are redefining its identity. Although it does not enjoy the same notoriety as other areas of the city, the villa is situated in a quiet and secluded location, away from traffic chaos and the more crowded areas. Despite its slightly out-of-the-way location, it is well connected to Catania's main roads, ensuring quick and convenient access to the city center and key services, including schools, shops, and restaurants. Public transport is also easily accessible, making travel simple and convenient both within the city and to neighboring areas. With its large garden and discreet location, the villa represents a rare opportunity for those wishing to live in a peaceful setting without sacrificing the convenience of urban amenities. Its position, slightly outside the tourist circuits and the more exclusive areas, makes it an interesting choice for those seeking an oasis of tranquility with great potential for appreciation.
