Bright Penthouse With Putbuilding And Water Door In Venice

Immersed in the enchanting atmosphere of the Cannaregio district, this prestigious penthouse for sale is a rare opportunity in the heart of Venice. Located on the third and fourth floors of a historic building, it stands out for its ample internal space of 250 sqm, extraordinary luminosity, and direct access to the canal thanks to the presence of a water door, a typical Venetian element that allows a private boat or water taxi to dock directly at the property. The property also boasts a shared garden, from which there is access to a canal-front annexe, perfect for use as a studio or additional living space. 

Situated in one of the most authentic and charming areas of Venice, the property enjoys a tranquil atmosphere while being close to amenities and places of interest. Cannaregio is known for its picturesque calli, typical restaurants and lively neighbourhood life. Within walking distance are the Jewish Ghetto, the Church of Madonna dell'Orto and the Fondamenta della Misericordia, renowned for its clubs and restaurants overlooking the canal. The proximity to the Santa Lucia Railway Station and the main water connections makes this property ideal both as a private residence and as a valuable investment in the tourist sector.

This penthouse is set in a fascinating architectural context, with historical elements and details typical of Venetian tradition. The interiors feature the characteristic Venetian grit floors, a precious material composed of fragments of marble and natural stone bonded with lime binder, which confers elegance and durability. The ceilings with exposed wooden beams and the panoramic windows contribute to creating a refined and cosy atmosphere, enhanced by the splendid view of the lagoon city. The building's façade, with classical decorative elements and Istrian stone cornices, emphasises the historical character of the residence, while the handcrafted details inside enhance its artistic and cultural value.

The interior of the penthouse is distributed over two levels. On the third floor, the entrance opens onto a bright living area, characterised by a spacious living room with a full-height bookcase, an airy dining room, an eat-in kitchen and a service bathroom. The sleeping area includes a bedroom and a master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, enhanced by a fine artistic parquet floor made with precious inlays and decorative motifs inspired by Venetian tradition. Going up to the upper floor, there is a second living room with an important central height and mansard areas on the sides, embellished with exposed wooden beams and charming panoramic windows overlooking the roofs of Venice. An additional bedroom and a bathroom are located here. Thanks to the special layout of the rooms, it is possible to divide the flat into two independent units, making it a versatile and ideal solution for both families and those seeking an investment in luxury real estate.

The outdoor spaces are a distinctive element of this property. Crossing the shared garden, a rare element in an urban context such as Venice, one reaches a characteristic annexe overlooking the canal, where one can admire the passage of the gondolas and be inspired by the magic of the lagoon. This small Gothic-style building with its crenellated tower contains an original fresco inside and is perfect for conversion into an artist's studio, a private atelier or a guest house. Thanks to the water gate, access by water taxi is extremely convenient, and there is the possibility of requesting a private berth with direct access right from the outhouse. 

Purchasing this property means immersing yourself in the eternal charm of Venice, enjoying an exclusive estate that combines history, elegance and modern comfort. Its strategic location, ample spaces, unobtrusive brightness and the presence of unique architectural elements make it a perfect choice for those who wish to experience the magic of the lagoon city in a prestigious estate with unparalleled charm.
