Stone Villa Dated 1789 With Sea View And Private Garden, Scorcola, Trieste

Scorcola is a hillside quarter of Trieste, and Via del Panorama, a side street of Via Commerciale, lives up to its name. The front of this house looks out to sea, with a wide view and long sunsets, while the back closes around a small private garden with an almost rural feel.

The villa dates from 1789 and has been restored with attention to its history. Its natural stone walls are 80 cm thick and irregular, as the old buildings of the area always were. The restoration added little and quietly: exposed steel beams, a roof rebuilt from scratch and updated systems. The rooms stay naturally cool through the seasons, and the light is generous.

The house rises over three floors with about 250 sq m of space. It has three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a kitchen large enough to eat in, a laundry area and ample living rooms that can be used in several ways. On the ground floor, rooms used today for hobbies add flexibility. Heating is independent, and the house is sold partly furnished.

Two cars can be parked one behind the other at the garden entrance, inside the property.

The villa belongs to a small historic group of buildings. Next to it stands an independent annexe of 112 sq m on the first and second floors, still to be completed, and beneath the annexe a separately registered double garage of 52 sq m with an electric-vehicle charging point. Both are available in addition to the villa: the annexe on its own or together with it, the garage only together with one of the houses. The whole compound can therefore be acquired as a single property.
