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

On the first floor of number 2, Apartment 3 is one of the few homes in the development to come with a genuine private outdoor space: a courtyard of about 20 square metres — in the old town, a handful of metres outdoors is often worth more than any indoor floor area. The floor works in its favour too, reached easily by lift: the calm of a lower level, with the discretion of not climbing too high or dropping to street level. The 101 commercial square metres run to an entrance hall, a living area with kitchenette, a master bedroom, a second single bedroom and two bathrooms — a full shower bathroom and a service one.

Palazzo Haggi carries the signature of Ruggero Berlam, one of the architects who shaped the face of Trieste. Its neo-medieval façades — projecting string courses, columns, capitals — are listed by the Soprintendenza and returned to their original colours, and the historic stone entrance hall and staircase have been restored. The complex, in San Vito, is undergoing complete renovation with seismic upgrading and an energy overhaul. Piazza Cavana is five minutes on foot, Piazza Unità d'Italia seven.

Underfloor heating and split cooling are driven by a high-efficiency air-to-water inverter heat pump, with a condensing boiler for hot water and rooftop photovoltaics; a hydraulic lift serves the floors. Parador Oak Bardolino Natural herringbone parquet, Tibur Cerdomus 60x120 stoneware bathrooms, SDR Terra Quadra sanitaryware, Treemme taps, Garofoli Mirabilia doors, double-glazed timber windows (white inside, walnut outside) and a reinforced entrance door. The energy certificate is issued on completion.

The price is 470,000 euros plus VAT (4% primary residence, 10% second home), with the Art. 16-bis TUIR renovation bonus over ten yearly instalments (on 25% of the price, at the rate and spending cap of the year of the deed). A private courtyard at a prestige address also lends itself to tourist or short-term letting under the 10% cedolare secca flat tax: TriesteVillas has run premium rentals in Trieste since 2013. Works in progress, turnkey handover to be agreed; a cellar is available, garages are not included (those on the ground floor are sold), and parking can be purchased at Via Giustinelli 13.
