Charming Two-Story Penthouse In The Castello District - Venice

Located in the lively Castello neighborhood, centrally positioned just steps away from San Marco's Square, this enchanting penthouse is situated within a historic building constructed in 1862 according to the design of Engineer Giovanni Fuin, based on two previous eighteenth-century factories. The interior finishes have been preserved and restored, enhancing the charm of this penthouse which boasts neoclassical elements. Equipped with an independent entrance with elevator and a large storage room on the ground floor accessible from the main entrance hall, the property is part of two adjacent residential realities, of which it is the main unit, composed on the third floor of an entrance, a study, a guest bedroom with a personal bathroom, a dining room with kitchen, and a large living room with access to the terrace with a wonderful panoramic view. On the fourth floor, there is a loft used as a study, a dressing room, the master bedroom with bathroom, a second double bedroom, a closet, and an attic. The two units, currently separated, offer the possibility of being reunited into a single large apartment, from which to obtain three additional double bedrooms, and further expanding the outdoor space by sharing the same terrace on both lots.

The Castello neighborhood is the largest of the six districts (sestieri) of Venice. It extends from the lively St. Mark's Square to the eastern edge of the city. This area is one of the oldest in the Serenissima and boasts a rich history dating back to the High Middle Ages. Traditionally the center of political power and home to noble families during the Venetian Republic, Castello provides an authentic glimpse into daily life in Venice. Unlike the tourist areas around St. Mark's Square, it is primarily residential, with shops, cafes, and markets reflecting the variety of architectural styles found in the grand palaces, churches, and more modest buildings. This neighborhood offers the opportunity to immerse oneself in Venetian culture amidst a fascinating mix of history, culture, and local charm, making it a rewarding area to explore for every visitor to Venice.
