Designer Townhouse In Period Building In Milan's City Centre

Set within an early 20th-century period building in one of the city’s most sought-after residential neighbourhoods, renowned for its elegance, amenities, and architectural quality, this townhouse is a unique property in the local market. The interior, which is completely separate from the street, guarantees maximum privacy whilst remaining part of a high-end residential complex with a concierge service. The approximately 400 sqm of interior space is spread over four levels connected by an internal staircase and lift, in addition to a terrace of around 80 sqm on the top floor and a private garage, offering the flexibility of two distinct units that can be seamlessly integrated thanks to separate systems and advanced home automation.

The ground floor houses the first living unit, designed as a large, impressive living area: the ceilings are nearly 3.90 metres high and the large floor-to-ceiling windows open up to the internal courtyard, flooding the rooms with natural light. Here, there is a refined living room with a dining area and a designer kitchen, enhanced by the use of period materials – such as wooden floors and panelling details – harmonised with contemporary finishes. The impression is that of a designer loft set within a historic building, ideal both for everyday living and for entertaining guests in a setting of absolute privacy.

An internal staircase leads to the lower level, where a charming basement room unfolds, characterised by vaulted ceilings and warm finishes, perfect as a relaxation area, TV room, wellness space or private setting for more informal gatherings. The presence of a further independent entrance on this level allows the basement to be used as a self-contained space for guests, staff or a private study, maintaining complete independence from the living area above. Well-separated utility rooms and service areas complete this floor, ensuring the house runs smoothly.

The second residential unit is situated on the upper floors, accessed via a dedicated entrance. The main floor features spacious and bright rooms, organised into an elegant living area and the first bedrooms, and a striking internal staircase leading to the attic floor. Here, the varying ceiling heights and exposed beams create an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere, ideal for the master bedroom area or for an independent suite with direct access to the terrace. The top-floor terrace, the true jewel of the property, offers a private outdoor space, perfect for breakfasts, summer dinners or moments of relaxation with views over the neighbourhood rooftops, in a setting of absolute silence and discretion.

From a technological standpoint, the building has been completely rebuilt to contemporary standards: the earthquake-resistant structure, A+ energy rating, underfloor heating managed by two independent boilers and adjustable per unit via home automation, ducted air conditioning, the alarm system and centralised control of lighting and climate control ensure a level of comfort and security to the highest standards. The ability to manage the two units independently, thanks also to the two separate entrances and the internal lift, makes the property ideal both as a large single-family residence and as a two-family unit, or as a combination of a main residence and a guest house for entertaining.
