Palazzo Haggi — Apt. 3 · 101 sqm · floor 1 · San Vito, Trieste

On the first floor of number 2 of Palazzo Haggi, Apartment 3 is one of the few layouts in the complex to offer a genuine private outdoor space: a courtyard of approximately 20 sqm, a rare and precious feature in the heart of the historic centre, where the value of a few square metres outdoors is often worth more than any indoor floor area. The 101 sqm of commercial space are thoughtfully arranged: entrance hall, living area with kitchenette, master bedroom, a second single bedroom and two bathrooms — a full bathroom with shower and a service bathroom. The first floor, conveniently served by a lift, combines the tranquillity of a lower level with the discretion of those who wish neither to climb too high nor descend too close to the street.

Palazzo Haggi is no ordinary building. Commissioned by the Armenian merchant Haggi Giorgio Aydinian and designed by Ruggero Berlam — among the architects who shaped the face of Trieste — its façades feature neo-medieval decoration protected by the Heritage Authority and restored to its original colours: projecting string courses, columns and capitals. The entire complex, in the San Vito district, is undergoing complete renovation with seismic upgrading and energy efficiency improvements; the entrance hall and the historic stone staircase have been restored. Piazza Cavana is a five-minute walk away, Piazza Unità d'Italia seven.

The specifications match the ambition of the address. High-efficiency inverter air-to-water heat pump system with condensing boiler for domestic hot water, underfloor heating, split-unit cooling and rooftop photovoltaic panels. Pre-finished oak parquet, Parador Oak Bardolino Natural, laid in a herringbone pattern; bathrooms in Tibur Cerdomus 60x120 porcelain stoneware, SDR Terra Quadra sanitaryware, Treemme tapware, Garofoli Mirabilia internal doors, external double-glazed wooden windows (white inside, walnut outside) and an armoured entrance door.

The sale is subject to VAT (4% for primary residence, 10% for second home) in addition to the price; the renovation bonus under Article 16-bis of the Italian Income Tax Consolidation Act (TUIR) is also available, up to €48,000 in ten instalments. For those considering an investment, the one-to-two-bedroom layout with courtyard and prestigious address lends itself well to tourist or short-term rental under the 10% flat-rate tax (cedolare secca): TriesteVillas has managed premium rentals in Trieste since 2013. Works in progress, turnkey delivery to be agreed; cellar available, garages not included (those on the ground floor are sold) but parking spaces can be purchased at Via Giustinelli 13.
