Venice – 140 m² Restored Penthouse in 17th Century Palace with Elevator

A rare 140 m² apartment on the top floor of a historic 17th-century building with a lift, entirely restored in 2002, both in its common areas and within the unit itself. Located in the heart of the Santa Croce district, it overlooks a picturesque canal, offering expansive and bright views typical of authentic Venice.

The restoration project impeccably blended the charm of the original structure — with Venetian terrazzo flooring, antique wooden beams, and a three-cell layout — with a contemporary design inspired by New York lofts, characterized by essential lines, light surfaces, and a rarefied yet welcoming atmosphere.

The large open-plan living room, approximately 60 m², with 4.5-meter high ceilings, integrates a living area, dining area, designer free-standing kitchen, and a study-library space, creating a unique environment in terms of spaciousness and brightness.
The sleeping area includes a large double bedroom with a private bathroom and a splendid corner view of the canal. A mezzanine adds an additional room that can be used as a second bedroom or guest area.

Among the rare features for the historic center:

• lift,

• septic tanks,

• independent heating (mixed underfloor and radiators),

• large windows ensuring natural light all day long.

A home with unique character, where history and modernity coexist in balance, transforming a space from the past into a refined and deeply contemporary living environment.
