Syracuse, Syracuse, Sicily, Italy

Engel & Völkers is pleased to present this unique penthouse that harmoniously combines the charm of a historic building with the comfort and efficiency of a modern renovation. Located in one of the most elegant buildings in the Umbertino district, this property not only offers spectacular views of the Pantheon and Villa Comunale, but was transformed into a modern home thanks to a meticulous renovation. The building was upgraded to energy class A4, the highest standard available, and equipped with a ultra-modern lift. The interior of the flat is designed to meet the needs of contemporary living, with large, bright spaces. Upon entering the flat, you are greeted by a large living area, ideal for hosting family and friends. Next to it is a comfortable studio, perfect for working from home. The dining room has a large, open-plan kitchen with a central island, creating a cosy and lively atmosphere. The also sophisticated sleeping area consists of two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, offering a perfect balance between privacy and comfort. A third bathroom is available to guests to ensure functionality at all times. An artfully crafted iron staircase leads to the mezzanine floor, where there is a third bedroom, also with its own bathroom. Finally, three steps lead to a large communal room that opens onto a magnificent 40 m² terrace where you can relax surrounded by the beauty of the city. The property features: Wooden thermal break windows, wooden shutters, a 6 kW photovoltaic system with 10 kW storage batteries, a solar thermal system with a 300 litre storage tank, a domestic water descaling system, a 1000 litre domestic water tank and a booster pump. The property is an unmissable opportunity for those who want to live in an exclusive setting where history and modernity live in perfect harmony.

The property is located in the 'Umbertino' district, a historical quarter of the city characterised by imposing buildings from the late 19th and 20th century. The district is rich in commercial activities of all kinds and is served by public transport. In recent years, this area has become an extension of the historic centre thanks to its strategic location, which makes it possible on the one hand to reach Ortigia on foot but on the other to remain outside the ZTL zone, the restricted traffic zone. The railway station and bus companies connecting Syracuse to all the other Sicilian provinces are only 500 metres away. Another significant advantage is its proximity to the Sant'Antonio car park, one of the largest guarded car parks in the city.
