Apartment On The Main Floor In The Historic Center Of Modica

In one of the most charming stretches of Corso Umberto I, in the heart of Modica, this elegant residence of approximately 390 sqm (4,198 sq ft) is located on the piano nobile of a prestigious historic palace, divided into four residential units and expertly renovated and restored with all modern comforts.

The property stands out for the authentic charm of its original flooring, the generous proportions of its rooms, and the extraordinary brightness that fills every space. The entrance opens into the living area, which includes a modern kitchen with island and a laundry area adjacent to a secondary service kitchen, a spacious dining area, and a terrace that harmoniously connects the two rooms. A large bathroom featuring a fine-quality bathtub and a practical storage room near the entrance complete this section of the home.

From the transitional sitting room, warmed by an efficient bioethanol stove, one accesses the most scenic reception area: two large salons with frescoed ceilings overlooking the historic center, offering a unique and refined atmosphere. The sleeping area comprises two bedrooms, including one master bedroom, and a second bathroom with shower, strategically located between the two rooms, as well as an additional storage room. Above the dining and sitting rooms are two spacious lofts, ideal as additional living or storage space.

The flooring throughout the apartment features original period ceramic tiles from Caltagirone and Naples, completely restored through meticulous renovation work. The apartment is housed in an 18th-century building, fully restored and upgraded to meet seismic standards, accessed through a grand wooden door leading into an ancient courtyard paved with local stone slabs, from which an imposing staircase of antique pietra pece and handcrafted ceramics leads to the residence.

A residence of great charm, perfect for those who wish to experience the authenticity of a historic home in the baroque heart of the city. The property is located approximately 22 km from the beach of Marina di Modica, 36 km from Noto, 76 km from Syracuse, and about 125 km from Catania’s international airport ”Fontanarossa.”
