Tolles Penthouse Zum Renovieren In Der Altstadt Von Ferrara In Der Nähe Des Schlosses Estensi

A large Penthouse ready to be transformed into a modern penthouse. A top-floor flat in Via Borgoleoni, a stone’s throw from the Renaissance heart of Ferrara, with the Castle as a landmark and the silence of the inner courtyards creating an atmosphere of privacy. 300 square metres in total, six open-plan rooms, 3.20-metre-high ceilings. A blank canvas - to be completely renovated - on which to write a design project. Included are an outdoor parking space (a rarity in the historic centre) and a 20 m² cellar: substance, logistics and potential.
A changing geometry, ready to become a designer home (or studio).
Crossing the threshold of the building, the top floor opens up like a laboratory of light: large surfaces, few internal constraints, private views of the courtyards that protect from the noise of the city. Here, the architecture does not impose, but invites. The open spaces allow you to imagine tailor-made solutions: the pure loft for those who dream of fluid and scenographic environments; the urban penthouse with a central living room and a secluded master suite; the home-studio where reception areas, a private study, a wellness area and a suspended library coexist. The 3.20 m high ceilings allow for ambitious visions: light mezzanines, technical false ceilings for spectacular lighting, architectural wings that separate without dividing. No compromises: here you can measure and design your life.
Context: the ideal city for everyday quality
Ferrara enjoys a rare balance: human dimensions, widespread beauty, accessible services. In Via Borgoleoni, it takes just a few minutes on foot to reach the city’s landmarks, but returning home is discreet, protected from internal views. Whether you are international collectors looking for a spectacular pied-à-terre, a family wanting real space in the historic centre, or a professional wanting to combine home and studio under one roof, this is a rare opportunity: large dimensions, top floor, parking and cellar.
Excellent raw material, to be remodelled
The attic needs a complete renovation: systems, surfaces, windows, lighting, air conditioning, acoustic/thermal insulation. Is this a limitation or an advantage? An advantage for those seeking identity: you can create a coherent and energy-efficient project with noble materials (solid wood, natural stone, lime, wrought iron) and technical features worthy of a prestigious penthouse. No compromise with “standard” finishes: start from scratch and create your own stylistic identity.
Design ideas (non-binding, for inspiration only)
Penthouse-Loft: entrance to the living room (80-100 m²), “theatrical” open-plan kitchen with island, panoramic dining area, study in the mezzanine, cinema area. Master suite with walk-in wardrobe and private bathroom; two/three guest bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms; integrated laundry room and storage rooms.
Home studio: dual-purpose living room (for receiving clients/private evenings), creative studio with archive and work table, secluded sleeping areas; small fitness/wellness corner (sauna, sensory shower) where you can recharge your batteries.
House with professional studio: two internal entrances, discreet reception, soundproofed meeting room; adjacent, the actual apartment, independent and with its own view.
(All design proposals are subject to technical checks, condominium regulations and authorisations from the competent authorities).
