Palazzo in Vendita, Pisa

Cod.01575 Rif.Ag. RV1140 - Piazza Carrara, Pisa.

Located in the heart of Pisa's historic center, this one-of-a-kind townhouse sits on one of the city's most beautiful squares and looks over the Arno River just 100 meters distant. Originally the caretaker's residence for the adjacent, late Baroque theater founded in 1770, it was completely renovated in 1985/86 by architects Iole and Carmassi, who sculpted its volume and modernized its form.

This detached townhouse, with no condominium fees, comprises just under 300 square meters of living space, and spreads over three levels with a second independent entrance from the ground floor. The building is registered as a multipurpose (C1) commercial property.

A flight of stairs leads to the first floor, which features a high-ceilinged living room with a “pietra serena” fireplace, and a large dining room with a second fireplace set in a medieval wall with exposed stone and a beamed ceiling. The second and third floors furnish bedrooms of varying sizes, offering ample scope for architectural modifications. On the top floor, a small bedroom apartment opens onto a terrace overlooking the rooftops of the square.

With a total of 13 rooms, 6 bathrooms, a terrace with a typical rooftop view, an internal cloister with a wood-burning oven, and two fireplaces (one in the living room and the other in the dining room, set in an exposed medieval wall), this is undoubtedly one of the most interesting homes available in Pisa, both for its historical and artistic value and for its contemporary architectural intervention.

Sun exposure is optimal throughout the day, and the house is bathed in natural light from morning until sunset. Plays of natural light filter from the façade through windows and small openings into the open-plan stairwell, which is dynamic and fragmented within its large volume. With doors and parquet floors made of fine wood, this property is a true gem for art and design connoisseurs.

The property requires maintenance and adaptation to current regulations for its new use. Ideal as a small guesthouse in the heart of the city or an elegant home for a large family, this property lends itself to a variety of uses and creative, personal architectural solutions.

Its proximity to the city center and Pisa International Airport, direct rail links to major Italian cities, and the sea just 12 km away (15 minutes by car, or a little more via the cycle path that starts right on the Lungarno) add value to this historic property on the Tuscan coast.
