Piano Nobile Lusso

Elegant piano nobile with partial lagoon views in Cannaregio

An impressive and highly decorative piano nobile of an important 17th century palazzo in Cannaregio with many original features such as an original rich red Venetian pastellon floor in the main reception room, beamed ceilings, ornate plasterwork and beautiful Istrian marble.

The whole property has been painstakingly restored by the current owner to its original state, while the Palazzo itself is of the highest quality, both in construction and materials. The apartment unusually has a sideway rectangular main room…..a much more usable space for modern living, with doors onto a lovely sunny balcony overlooking a wide canal in what is a very tranquil location.

The Palazzo was extensively restored in 1992 when the roof and exterior plasterwork were redone. In addition to the main piano nobile floor, there is an independent ground floor apartment, as well as a large private courtyard garden belonging exclusively to this property.

The main apartment comprises a large reception room in the French style of almost 70 square metres with 4.2 metre high ceiling. Within this very classical interior space the architect responsible for the restoration introduced some ultra modern features which are both an amazing contrast to the original classical style but also cleverly resolve many technical problems such as hiding and containing wires and pipes without impeding on the original walls either visually or physically. This room has a dining area, a gallery/meditation space, and access to a small but well planned kitchen.

The master bedroom is absolutely beautiful, light and relaxing, with a French 19th century grey-blue marble fireplace and walls finished with a rich cream Marmorino finish, and a 19th century frescoed ceiling featuring Mercury and Minerva. The second bedroom/second sitting room is small but multi functional, having a roll out bed, original fireplace and gallery with work space.

There are two bathrooms, one in marble and the other was inspired by sailboats, both highly individual and fun.

The price includes the main floor of the palazzo and a magazzino store room.

The independent ground floor apartment and the large courtyard garden are for sale separately.
