The Merchant Of Venice

Overlooking the Grand Canal, just a stone’s throw from the historic building housing the famous Rialto Market and opposite the spectacular, recently restored façade of the Ca’ d’Oro, we are offering for sale a 4-storey property with a private entrance, a water entrance and a panoramic terrace.

The building, dating back to the 18th century, was originally used as a warehouse. Fondaci were used by merchants and traders to store their goods, such as spices, textiles, grain and other products. They were also used as offices and meeting places for merchants.
The entrance to the property opens onto a bright corridor leading to a study, a bathroom and the beautiful water door, which allows access to the property from the side canal.

On the first floor, the living area features an open-plan kitchen, a dining room and an elegant living room with a delightful little balcony overlooking the Grand Canal.

The second floor is dedicated to the sleeping area, with three double bedrooms offering views of the Grand Canal, the side canal and the characteristic Venetian palaces. A bathroom with a bathtub completes this floor.

On the third floor, there is a spacious double bedroom with views of the Grand Canal and a generously sized bathroom with a shower. This top floor also leads to a beautiful terrace of approximately 15 square metres, offering incredible views and vistas.

The interiors are well laid out, bright and feature Venetian decorative details: exposed beams, Venetian terrazzo and wooden floors, and Murano chandeliers.

The property is situated in the heart of Venice, just a few minutes’ walk from the Rialto Bridge and the ‘Mercato’ vaporetto stop, which provides access to the city’s main attractions.
The San Polo district offers a wealth of opportunities, with its museums, galleries and craft shops. This sestiere is also home to some of the city’s oldest bacari and a generous selection of restaurants, many of which have internal gardens where you can enjoy excellent meals in the warmer months.
