VENICE - SAN POLO - Six windows on the Grand Canal

EXCLUSIVE - VENICE - SAN POLO - Six windows on the Grand Canal with views of Rialto Bridge, on two levels - 2/3 BEDROOMS

Six windows on the Grand Canal, two of them with small balconies, and a view that runs across the water to Rialto Bridge. Set on the fourth and fifth floors of a historic building in the San Polo district, this property lives at the pace of the city: gondolas gliding past, light shifting on the opposite bank. A year-round home or a pied-à-terre in the very heart of Venice.

The cadastral area is 191 sqm, with a terrace and an exclusive-use flat roof. Along the Grand Canal frontage, the reception rooms follow one another: two drawing rooms and a dining room, all lit by the six windows. One of these rooms could become a bedroom overlooking the water. The separate kitchen lies at the rear. Venetian terrazzo floors and wooden window frames run throughout.

Further inside, the sleeping quarters comprise two bedrooms and the bathroom, reached through an entrance hall and a generous landing. An internal staircase leads to the upper level, a versatile space beneath the roof, well suited to a grown-up child, guests or friends in complete privacy. It includes a bedroom, a dressing room, a laundry room and attic storage. A small terrace and the flat roof make it a quiet retreat above the rooftops of Venice.

Access is on foot, with no lift: four flights of stairs lead to a view that rewards every step. Renovation works are to be planned, and the asking price reflects them. This leaves ample scope to personalise the home with taste, with light and the Grand Canal at the heart of the design. Rialto Market, shops and the Rialto Mercato and San Silvestro waterbus stops are a short walk away.
