Charmante Himmels Erdresidenz In Porta Genova

In the most authentic heart of the Navigli district, between Porta Genova, Viale Gorizia, and the vibrant charm of the Darsena, in one of Milan’s most sought-after and dynamic neighborhoods, stands this extraordinary semi-detached ”sky-earth” residence of approximately 250 sqm. The area is rich in atmosphere, where Milan’s historic soul blends seamlessly with art galleries, design studios, iconic venues, and picturesque canalside views, while retaining an exclusive and private character.

The property, a beautifully renovated former workshop, is set within a charming late 19th-century Milanese building and benefits from an independent entrance through a delightful internal courtyard—quiet, intimate, and full of character. Arranged over several levels, the home impresses from the very first moment with its exceptional sense of space and the harmonious balance between original architectural features and contemporary details.

The ground floor welcomes guests with a magnificent living area featuring soaring ceilings of over 5 meters and a spectacular floor-to-ceiling window that floods the interiors with natural light. Exposed original beams, decorative stone columns, a contemporary marble fireplace, and exquisite tropical wood parquet flooring with Verde Alpi marble inlays create an atmosphere of refined elegance and strong architectural identity.

The spacious eat-in kitchen has been designed for everyday convivial living and is complemented by a guest bathroom and a separate laundry area. The master bedroom features an en-suite bathroom with both bathtub and shower, creating a private and relaxing retreat. A study, which can also serve as a second bedroom, is enhanced by a mezzanine level, adding further versatility to the living spaces. This room also benefits from a second independent entrance, making it ideal as a separate professional office or studio.

From the living area, a sculptural metal staircase—a beautiful example of minimalist industrial design—leads to a third bedroom. Continuing to the upper level, one reaches the top-floor attic, a warm and private space comprising a sitting room with a sleeping area and smart-working corner, an additional bedroom, a bathroom, and access to a charming French-style pocket terrace, perfect for enjoying peaceful moments in the heart of the city.

A truly unique residence, combining authentic character with contemporary style, ideal for those who wish to experience Milan in one of its most iconic and vibrant neighborhoods without sacrificing privacy and tranquility.

Its striking and distinctive spaces gain even greater appeal thanks to the immediate proximity to the Tortona district, the heart of Milan’s Fashion District. The property is also perfectly suited to accommodate fashion and design showrooms, as well as artistic or multifunctional studios.
