Single-family detached house 640 m², excellent condition, Città Alta, Bergamo

In the heart of Città Alta, in a private and extremely quiet position, there is this extraordinary house of 500 m2 spread over four floors connected by an internal staircase and a lift. The very high ceilings, the brightness, the use of natural materials for the finishes, the choice of warm tones, the thick walls and the refined distribution of the spaces give it a very sophisticated, timeless elegance, and make it a home of high representation.
The building dates back to 1600 and was the subject of a complete renovation which affected the structure and interiors and which did not want to ignore the historical character of the property, creating a perfect dialogue between past and present. For this reason, the original Credaro stone materials were recovered and maintained for the staircase and patio, while new additions, such as ancient treated oak planks for the living room, wooden beams and ancient terracotta tiles for the ceiling of the area day, marble floors and coverings for the bathrooms and oak floors for the rooms, were made with high quality materials, mostly of local origin, with an extraordinary result.
From the precious external door, passing through a beautiful cave of property, you arrive at the entrance door of the house. On the ground floor the entrance opens onto a welcoming living room which leads to the beautiful patio, a true oasis of peace in the heart of the Upper Town. Furthermore, from a private corner of the floor you enter a charming apartment for the domestic staff; on the first floor a spacious and elegant hallway leads to three airy and bright bedrooms, one with an en suite bathroom, another bathroom, the laundry room, and a wardrobe area; on the second floor the large and elegant hallway leads to a spacious double bedroom with fireplace, walk-in closet and bathroom, to another large room currently used as a study and to a second bathroom; on the third floor you enter directly into the beautiful living area where you will find the large living room with fireplace in arabesque orobica stone, the television room, the dining room which communicates with the large, separate kitchen. The top floor is characterized by particularly high ceilings, exceptional brightness also thanks to the presence of an all-glass wall and a surprising open view of gardens and historic buildings of great flavor in the background. Two further precious spaces complete this splendid residence : the cellar, which is accessed from the patio, with beautiful vaulted brick ceilings, restored fully respecting its authenticity, therefore extraordinary for the conservation of wine and food; the exclusive courtyard of 130 m2, where you can park up to three cars as well as motorbikes and bicycles, essential for living comfortably in the Upper Town. The heating is underfloor, all the bathrooms in the house have windows, there is an anti-intrusion system with cameras, furthermore the excellent thermal insulation recently completed has made it possible to make the house very energy efficient.
