Three-storey villa, Via Chiadino (San Luigi)

A fully detached period villa from 1925, taken back to the studs with a complete, certified renovation in 2021 — systems, structure, insulation and finishes reworked without losing the original architectural character. The address is Via Chiadino, in the San Luigi area, a semi-central pocket of Trieste, with open views over the city and the sea. 417 sqm across several levels.

From the main entrance, a dramatic staircase drops to the living floor below: a large, bright drawing room framed by two original central columns, a panoramic balcony, a study, a full bathroom, a laundry, and an eat-in kitchen opening straight onto the garden. Upstairs sit two double bedrooms, each en suite, a roomy walk-in closet, and a study-sitting room that looks to the sea through a wide picture window. The ground floor is a self-contained unit with its own door — open-plan kitchen and living space, bathroom, bedroom, laundry — handy for guests, staff, or letting.

The technical work runs deep. In 2021: connection to the municipal sewer, a new condensing boiler, the ground floor insulated with a ventilated cavity, igloo modules and a fresh slab over a damp-proof membrane; high-efficiency windows, internal thermal cladding throughout, electrical and plumbing systems rebuilt and certified, four renovated bathrooms, private on-plot parking, and a 7.2 kWp photovoltaic array. Hot/cold inverter air conditioning across the whole villa.

The garden, tended and private, has room for a pool; a useful cellar rounds things off.

Energy class A2. Price €1,180,000.
