Apartment via Sant'Isaia, San Felice, Bologna

For those who love the unique charm of living in a place where you can breathe and experience history, among fine finishes and evocative views. We are in the historic center, on the corner of Via Sant'Isaia and Nosadella, overlooking both and the corner perspective on Piazza Malpighi: on one side the gaze goes to the Convent of San Francesco, on the other you can see Palazzo Rusconi with its large monumental oriental plane tree, the oldest and tallest in the entire Historic Center. Splendid and large historic residence of over 170 m2 on the second main floor of a long-standing building; the first information on the foundation dates back to the beginning of the fifteenth century, when it was built as a porticoed corner building in place of previous homes; subsequently it became the property of the Bovi Campeggi, to whom it remained until recently. The current external appearance is typical of the eighteenth century. Going up two floors on foot we are inside: a first entrance room, the vestibule, already introduces us to the character of this house. First of all the Venetian floors, with mortars that vary in shade and color room by room depending on the time of installation; the oldest date back to the seventeenth century, the most recent from the nineteenth century. Then the airiness of the ceilings, 3.40 meters high and decorated with stucco. In this first room we also encounter the first of four Liberty glass doors, which give access to the room. Here we note the other type of valuable doors, wooden with eighteenth-century frames (seven in the whole apartment, painted white and with crystal knobs) and the brightness of the rooms, radiated by large windows, always white in PVC and double glass; installed twenty years ago, they are of modern design and isolate very well from traffic noise. The radiators are also noteworthy, made of cast iron in the early twentieth century in Art Nouveau style. Faithful as it is to the concept of space when it was designed, this is a house with a unique floor plan, which can be turned entirely in circles. To the right of the room opens up the perspective of two other large rooms: this leads to the large living room, and to the master bedroom, also equipped with a closet/walk-in closet, a built-in wardrobe and direct access. to the main bathroom with parquet floor. If instead you go left from the dining room you reach the second bedroom, a single room with a double view, from which you can see the monumental plane tree. It can also be reached independently without passing through the room, via a corridor from the vestibule. Again from the entrance point of the house, going right you go to the service part; a hallway communicates both with the living room, with a large pantry without windows, and with the eat-in kitchen; beyond, small terrace and service bathroom. Cooling system, with four splits serving the three largest rooms and the kitchen. Large paved cellar, the property is not bound by the Superintendence.--3e9ba345a6eaf8c6a8430521b7b3a016!
