In the heart of Venice, just steps from Campo San Barnaba, we offer for sale an apartment with a private entrance from Fondamenta del Squero. It is located on the ground floor and first floor, with a terrace, in an 18th-century building. The location is enviable: Piazzale Roma and the train station are easily reached on foot in just a few minutes. The area is packed with amenities and city life, yet the property enjoys a quiet, low-traffic location, with the main rooms overlooking the canal and a full south-facing exposure. The entrance is independent, directly from the foundations. The raised entrance hall with a beautiful Istrian stone floor serves as a hallway to the apartment itself, which is located on the first floor. The ground floor measures approximately 30 square meters and includes the foyer with access to the stairs and several utility rooms. The possibility of creating a second bathroom or laundry room for the property is also interesting. Going up the stairs you reach the actual apartment, and immediately enter the most authentic Venice. A large Venetian terrazzo corridor serves as the entrance and leads to all the spacious and versatile rooms of the house. Starting from the interior, we find the eat-in kitchen, served by a convenient balcony. Adjacent is the dining room and master bedroom. Also overlooking the quiet internal courtyard is another bedroom, which opens onto the terrace and its greenery. The terrace measures approximately 15 square meters and is ready to be redesigned to suit its occupants: a shady spot for hot summers, a winter garden, and an outdoor living area. The interior is completed by a large, fully equipped bathroom with window. Overlooking the canal, with an enviable light and view, we finally find the large living room and a further generously sized bedroom, currently used as a study / library.
The apartment is a unique solution for many reasons. It certainly exudes the style and charm of authentic Venice that is increasingly difficult to find. The private entrance also makes it feel more like a house than an apartment, and you forget you’re living in a condominium. We’re located a stone’s throw from shops and bars, in the heart of the university district, but on a stretch of waterfront rarely visited by tourists. Excellent exposure, fully south-facing, and across the canal we can glimpse the garden of the adjacent art foundation. We really like this apartment.
This Venice listing is centrally located in the historic Dorsoduro district, renowned for its vibrant art scene and close proximity to the Grand Canal. Easily accessible by water taxis and vaporetto, it offers convenient connections to Venice Marco Polo Airport and main train stations. Nearby are Michelin-star restaurants, upscale boutiques, and cultural landmarks like Punta della Dogana museum, enhancing a luxury lifestyle immersed in Venetian heritage.
