In the heart of the historic center, just 40 meters from Piazza Garibaldi, a meeting point and reference point on the island, there is this charming penthouse located in Via Regina Margherita. A one-way street, quiet and with little traffic.

The apartment occupies the first and second floors of a historic building, purchased by the grandmother of the current owner in 1923, on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of its construction, dating back to 1888.

Renovated in the 60s and 70s, the Super Attico preserves its nineteenth-century characteristic intact, with a splendid and noble terrace that dominates the roofs of the surrounding houses, around which life in the house revolves.

The panoramic terrace, private and silent, offers a perfect refuge for moments of relaxation, with a view that ranges from Garibaldi's house to Porto Raphael, from Capo d'Orso to Guardia Vecchia.

The triple exposure guarantees sun from morning until evening, and the installation of a bioclimatic pergola could make this space even more welcoming.

The entrance to the house is via a flight of steps that lead to a quiet square, passing through a well-kept and picturesque path that further enhances the area and the property.

With a surface area of ​​approximately 120 square meters, the apartment is spread over two levels, with large and bright spaces, also ideal for a large family.

The super penthouse can accommodate guests, while the apartment below is perfect for the owners of the house, or vice versa.

On the first floor, a flight of stairs leads to the first apartment: the entrance opens onto the living area with eat-in kitchen, a master bathroom on the right and a spacious bedroom on the left. Continuing..., you enter a second room facing north-west that overlooks the small entrance square, cool and quiet, also ideal as a study or relaxation room. Parquet on the entire floor.

The upper floor opens onto the bright living room that overlooks the panoramic terrace of about 40 square meters, with the presence of a second complete bathroom and a room that can be used as a kitchen or as an extension of the living room itself.

The terrace with its original materials (cementine, decorated vases), has been maintained as an open space and as a precious "lung" of the house, avoiding the construction of additional covered rooms.

Two balconies in white Carrara marble with wrought iron railings from the 19th century adorn the facades of the building, offering strategic points to place a table for a coffee or to grow a small hanging garden or a succulent nursery.

The rooms are cool thanks to the high vaulted ceilings in clay bricks, which create an air chamber between the upper floor and the internal part of the vault, and to the half-meter thick external walls in granite blocks, which are an excellent insulator.

On summer evenings, by appropriately opening some windows, a pleasant natural breeze is created that cools the hot nights and keeps mosquitoes away.

The internal walls, in solid bricks, have been partially exposed in limited areas to enhance the historic character of the property.

The exterior of the building retains its original historic appearance, including the Corsican red pine window frames, with no signs of recent maintenance work.

The lower floor was renovated about 10 years ago, while the top floor, although habitable, requires extraordinary maintenance.

This home is a rare and exclusive type: a penthouse and super-penthouse located in the heart of the historic center of an island, therefore in a closed and circumscribed context where it is no longer possible to build.

Recently, the two floors have been registered in a single file, but the possibility of dividing them into two independent housing units with separate entrances has been maintained.
