Prestigious 16th-century residence adjacent to Piazza Navona
Just a few steps from Piazza Navona, this exclusive property of a total of 255 sqm is spread over two levels and is served by a modern glass elevator in the internal courtyard. The building stands out for the historical value of its original 16th-century elements, such as high ceilings at 4.70 meters and restored frescoes, integrated with a high-level contemporary renovation. The layout features a double entrance and includes a main unit of high representativeness and a second adjoining apartment, usable as an independent dependance.
Location
The property is located in the monumental heart of Rome. This area is characterized by a unique urban and archaeological fabric worldwide, with historic buildings, noble courtyards, and medieval and Renaissance alleys of extraordinary cultural significance. Its position allows walking access to the main monuments of the Capital, institutions, art galleries, elite restaurants, and historic commercial activities. The setting combines the prestige of centrality with the reserved atmosphere of the inner streets, making it one of the most coveted and strategic locations in the city for an international clientele.
Property Description
The property comprises a representational main unit and a second adjoining apartment with independent access. The interiors, renovated with premium finishes, retain original terracotta flooring restored to perfection and original structures, including coffered ceilings and frescoes from the 1500s.
Main Unit: Past the main entrance, it leads to the reception hall, characterized by an antique fireplace and wooden coffered ceilings at 4.70 meters high. The space includes a library area and a private study. The master bedroom area is distinguished by a mezzanine double bedroom decorated with perfectly restored 16th-century frescoes. A custom full-height bookcase integrates a system of hidden passages leading to the walk-in wardrobe and the en-suite bathroom equipped with classic sanitary fittings and a vintage bathtub in Napoleonic style. Completing the main area are a designer kitchen, a storage room, a service bathroom, and a lower-level tavern with a refrigerated wine cellar.
Adjoining Apartment: Equipped with double access (both from the main unit and directly from the communal landing), the secondary space consists of a living room with fireplace and kitchenette, a mezzanine double bedroom, wall cupboards, a dedicated laundry area, and a bathroom with shower.
Usage Potential
This rare property is suitable as a private residence of the highest standard for those wishing for a historic representative home in the heart of Rome. The presence of the adjoining apartment guarantees ideal versatility for hosting service staff, family members, or professionals with complete independence, while maintaining the privacy of the main body. The two-tier structure, ceiling height, and the contrast between 16th-century elements and modern design make it a unique opportunity for art collectors and a demanding international clientele.
