Two-Level Penthouse with Sea View, Three Outdoor Spaces and Residents' SPA — Trieste

TOP-FLOOR DUPLEX OVER THE GULF, THREE OUTDOOR SPACES AND A RESIDENTS' SPA — VIA DEI GIUSTINELLI 13, TRIESTE

The top two floors of a building on the Colle di San Vito. 178 sqm: two rooms, two ancillary rooms and two bathrooms. The sea here is not a glimpse from one window: the Gulf opens from every room, the harbour and the anchored ships in front, the hills of the far shore closing the horizon.

The entrance level is one open space — living room and open-plan kitchen together, both giving onto the first balcony — plus a bedroom and a bathroom. The internal stair climbs to the upper level, with two ancillary rooms and the second bathroom: the larger, conceived as a bright living area with a study corner, opens onto the main terrace, the one for summer dinners, and onto a private balcony, again facing the water; the other is conceived as the master bedroom.

Then there is the part most listings dispose of in a single line, and that here carries real weight. The building has a concierge service, a lift, a heated indoor pool, gym, sauna, steam room and relaxation area, and a shared garden of about a thousand square metres with olive trees and a pergola with an outdoor kitchen.
