Prestigious duplex penthouse with terraces in Borgo Pio

In the heart of Borgo Pio, halfway between the Vatican walls and the gardens of Castel Sant'Angelo, stands this elegant building on three floors, a place where history, art and Roman charm blend naturally. Here was the seat of the Archive of a well-known artist, and even today the creative and vibrant atmosphere seems to permeate every environment. The building is recognizable by the icon embedded between the windows of the first floor, beyond which the two apartments (cadastralmente united) of approximately 170 square meters are developed, distributed between the second and third floors, both embellished by pleasant terraces for a total of approximately 65 square meters, which offer tranquility, light and the privilege of being able to enjoy a private outdoor space.

The first unit, which overlooks the pedestrian area of Borgo Pio, welcomes us with a suggestive living room, characterized by vaulted ceilings and a warm parquet floor that gives an elegant timelessness. The open-plan kitchen, custom-made, dialogues with the living area, creating a convivial and contemporary environment. A comfortable mosaic bathroom completes the level. Going up the internal staircase, hidden by a custom-made bookcase, you reach the third floor, where the bedroom surprises with the charm of exposed beams and large panoramic openings. The en-suite bathroom, with a quadro window facing east, made of marble and wood, is equipped with a spacious walk-in shower. The walk-in closet and the laundry room perfect the well-organized spaces. The greatest quality of the house is, however, the delightful level terrace with herringbone flooring, which transforms this floor into an intimate private refuge with a unique character. The second apartment, also accessible from the landing on the second floor, presents itself as a modern villa, made of contrasting details that put order between the eras, that of construction dating back to 1600 and the current one characterized by modern and custom elements. The living room, with high ceilings and exposed beams, illuminated by the charismatic central skylight, is the environment around which the whole house develops. The two spacious bedrooms - which have panoramic windows overlooking the most intimate and quiet part of the neighborhood, characterized by recognizable architectural elements such as the Passetto di Borgo - are very bright and quiet and both served by a bathroom and a large walk-in closet. Going down the stone stairs, a real design element and architectural symbolism, you arrive at the kitchen which overlooks the entire house and embraces the corner terrace with an open view and undisputed privacy.

To complete the picture, Borgo Pio itself, a historic street that connects Porta Castello to Porta Angelica, wanted by Pope Pius IV and designed in 1565 to be pleasant, healthy and privileged. A street that still retains its unique character, made of history, elegance and neighborhood life: an ideal context for a property that combines identity and modernity in a surprising way. Borgo Pio is a small world in itself in the heart of Rome, born between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance as an autonomous village, with its church, its school and a deeply artisan soul. Today, a few steps from the Vatican, it continues to live suspended between history and everyday life: pilgrims, tourists and students cross it every day, but the charm of its workshops, historic venues and new activities that respond to contemporary needs remains intact.
