Single family villa corso Moncalieri 253, Cavoretto, Turin

Historical residence of 1902 in Art Nouveau (Arch. Sgarbi) splendidly enlarged in 1924 in pure eclectic style by the famous architect Thermignon.
The urban villa, very convenient for services, is surrounded by terraces, courtyards and planted gardens for a total of 1,850 sq. meter and develops mainly on the mezzanine / first floor, intended for large adjoining living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, studies and representative areas; the floor above the night area consists of a large master suite with bathroom and wardrobe area, three other bedrooms and a bathroom; the property is completed by a large attic connected by a comfortable staircase, consisting of two large rooms, a bathroom, two storage rooms; in the attic there is a corner window, two dormer windows and two other windows; finally, in the basement there is a caretaker's accommodation, the garage and various cellar rooms.
The house is much appreciated for the older facade decorated with delicate "liberty" floral motifs in admirable contrast with the subsequent "modernism" of the "Coppedè" eclectic-style expansion.
The beautiful sundial painted with the motto "Nullas numero nisi serenas" (... I only count the serene hours) appears on the 1924 facade adjacent to the 1902 Art Nouveau facade and seems to soften the apparent contrast between two beautiful and different architectural styles both interpreted by best authors.
The sundial uses French hours without numbering, traced on a fake curtain placed on a fake window and has no function of measuring time but simply decorative and artistic.
It is a unique piece, an unrepeatable opportunity for true amateurs. Exclusive and reserved sale, due to non-use.
