State and finishing

The property is in good general condition, with high quality finishes, such as the decorated Venetian-style floors, the coffered ceilings, the frescoes still existing in some areas of the external walls and the decorations that create a framework below the roof. The bedrooms and the lounge with a fireplace feature warm wood floors.
The house is in good condition and is ready for immediate use, although some refurbishment in the sleeping areas and updating of technical installations would be advisable, in order to upgrade and elevate it to the same high level of quality as the rest of property.

External areas

The large garden, measuring 3,000 sqm, is definitely one of the property’s strong points, as it allows you to enjoy complete privacy, while being in the historic centre of the town.
The garden has perfectly maintained lawns and tall trees and is bordered by hedges, beyond which stand cypress trees. The feeling is one of being immersed in greenery while, just outside the gate, you find yourself amidst the shops and restaurants of the town centre.

Use and potential uses

The property is ideal as a high quality residence and could also be combined with a private activity such as, for example, an office for a notary or lawyer, wishing to use the separate building as an office location and the villa as main residence.
The villa is in a well-connected location, near Venice and near the sea and is also private, thanks to the large park. At the same time, it is conveniently positioned, due to its proximity to the town centre and services, making the property an ideal place both for living permanently or for spending periods of relax.

Distances and location

Friuli Venezia Giulia - Italy

Neighboring regions:  located in northeastern Italy, bordering with Veneto region, the Adriatic Sea, Austria and Slovenia

Main centers:  Trieste, Lignano Sabbiadoro, Grado, Duino, Gorizia.

Characteristics: overlooking on the Adriatic Sea and surrounded by high mountains, the region includes many different landscapes: from the coast with sandy beaches and lagoons, to the harsh hills of Eastern Dolomites, of Carnia and the Julian Alps.
