Designer Apartment Fenice San Marco

a delightful apartment in the most desirable part of the city

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a delightful, well appointed and comfortable apartment of around 100 square metres in what is generally regarded by Venetians as the most convenient and desirable part of the city. It is situated in a discreet calle (street), which connects the Fenice Theatre to the achingly smart Calle Largo XXII Marzo, with its array of Pradaesque shops.

Piazza San Marco is about five minutes walk, the Rialto and Accademia bridges fractionally more, and Harry's Bar is your local. There are also convenient food and provisions shops and a plethora of restaurants in the immediate area.

The flat is on the fourth floor, thus affording charming views over rooftops and a picturesque small canal, and it is above the hustle and bustle of Venetian life. A lift was installed 10 years ago. There is even a communal door onto the water, albeit unused at the moment.

Great care has been taken to preserve the original features such as the exposed beams in the main rooms, traditional pattern windows (double glazed), parquet floors, shutters and so on. The effect is to create an airy, bright and welcoming atmosphere that seamlessly combines the old and the modern.

The apartment comprises a dining room that seats eight, a compact well appointed kitchen, sitting room, two double bedrooms (one with dressing area), two bathrooms (one en-suite) and very generous craftsman-built fitted cupboards. Features include air conditioning, TV entry system, access to TV satellite, TV points, wall installed stereo speakers in the major rooms and spotlights/dimmers.

The flat is sophisticated whilst informal and ideal for entertaining, having the dining and sitting areas adjacent. There is also that most invaluable luxury, a five square metre magazzino on the ground floor for general storage.

The building itself is run by a condominium formed by all the flat owners and they have appointed a professional agency to organise general maintenance, cleaning of the common parts and building improvements. They have recently completed a significant phased restoration of the main building. Day to day running costs of the flat are modest.

The apartment has been owned for twenty years by the British owners whose attention to detail in its the restoration and maintenance has been first class. Unquestionably, a property as well sited and tastefully executed as this is highly rentable. Most furnishings, pictures, etc may be purchased if required.

It is a stylish, convenient and highly memorable base from which to enjoy the many pleasures of Venice and to relax in comfort. We have known the property and its owners virtually since their acquisition and it comes most highly recommended.
