11 bedroom House for sale in Venice, Veneto

This 20th-century palazzo is located in sestiere Cannaregio, in the northern part of Venice, just two steps from Santa Lucia train station. Easily reached on foot or by boat, the building (590 sqm) houses two independent units to be restored and/or updated. With just a few works one could create up to 11 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The spacious panoramic terrace (63 sqm) overlooks the roofs of the city and is an excellent place to relax in the magic atmosphere of Venice. Services are obviously all available nearby and the Santa Lucia train station is just 500 m from the building. To move inside Venice, the famous Vaporetto has a stop just below the property (roughly 80 m). DESCRIPTION OF THE PALAZZO The palazzo features two separate entrances. The first one is exclusive property and leads to the main staircase with elevator and to a storage room in the back of the building. The staircase leads to both the first and second floor. The other entry is shared with other tenants and leads to a private staircase that reaches the first floor. The first floor is made up of ample rooms that were used as offices and archives in the past (220 sqm – 2,367 sqft). This part of the palazzo needs a total renovation, with a general remake of systems and finishes that are very old. As for accommodation, the floors could easily accommodate up to eight bedrooms and six bathrooms. Two terraces (roughly 9 sqm in total) overlook the underlying canal and complete the floor. The second and third floor are home to a huge master apartment (310 sqm – 3,335 sqft) reached via staircase and/or elevator. From the entrance hall one can reach all the rooms of the apartment: on the left are the reception hall, a dining room and a small sitting room with guest bathroom. Right in front of the entrance are the kitchen with pantry, while on the right are an office space with closet, a living room, the bedroom and a bathroom. An internal staircase leads to the upper floor where one finds a reading room at the center, leading in turn to a spacious wardrobe, two lofts (also usable as bedrooms) and two bathrooms (one of which used as a laundry at the moment). Two French windows open onto the generous panoramic terrace (46 sqm – 495 sqft) offering a stunning view over the roofs of Venice and the surrounding avenues.   The building dates back to the first half of the 20th century and was initially thought out as two separate and independent units. On the first floor were offices and administrative rooms, nowadays unused: this floor needs a total renovation and one could take advantage of this to rework the internal layout into a second residential unit, potentially even a guest accommodation. The second and third floors are in better shape, habitable even, but they nonetheless need to be modernized and updated to express their full potential.
