Property Description
Beautifully Renovated Three-bedroom Palermo Apartment in a Quiet and Convenient Suburb of the City, with Ample Space and Green Hillside Views
Situated on the fourth floor of an elegant building in a quiet and well-maintained residential complex, this spacious apartment and fabulously presented home in Viale Francia offers a great opportunity to experience life in one of Palermo’s most accessible and relaxed neighbourhoods.
Lovingly designed and realised, Casa Sabrina was completely renovated five years ago and the interiors are beautiful. High-quality materials and user-friendly design make every room a welcoming backdrop. The apartment has a triple exposition, keeping it both well-lit and well-ventilated.
If you want to buy a home in Sicily’s busiest and most prestigious city that avoids the crowds and congestion of the historic centre, the excellent transport links and proximity to Mondello beach are huge selling points for this three-bedroom city home.
The Apartment
Casa Sabrina offers 154m2 of indoor space, as well as a trio of balconies. Entering from the well-maintained common spaces of the apartment block you come into a large, stylish and very open living room. Areas for dining and relaxation are both well lit by a large pair of windows, one of which is a French window onto the balcony. This faces west, giving the room a perfect view of the region’s beautiful sunsets.
A large sliding glass door separates the living room from the modern kitchen, keeping the property’s primary daytime spaces versatile and connected. You’ll love the beautiful hardwood of the large breakfast island, which perfectly offsets the smart white kitchen units. A high quality gas hob has been built into this island, to allow the preparation of food to be as sociable an experience as the eating of it. The kitchen leads to a covered veranda, a section of which has been enclosed for use as a utility room.
The three bedrooms are all spacious doubles. The master enjoys an en-suite bathroom with a luxuriously large shower as well as a long walk-in closet, while a family bathroom opens off the hallway, next to a helpful storage closet. One of the guest rooms has a private balcony.
The flooring is top quality, in solid wood parquet – not an imitation covering. It’s been laid diagonally in a modern style, recently polished and is in perfect condition. So, too, are the internal doors.The flat is sold unfurnished, but all fixtures and fittings will remain, including the such as the walk-in closet and the full-wall shelves in the living room. The kitchen is not included in the asking price but the vendors are open to offers.
From a technical point of view, the three-bedroom Palermo apartment is equipped with an independently controlled hydronic heating and cooling system. This was installed about 10 years ago, and the outside units are a little dated and will eventually need to be replaced. However, it is fully functional and guarantees a comfortable temperature all year round.
The property also includes two uncovered off-street parking spaces, and a 13 m² storage unit in the basement. The condominium fees are low, around €80 per month, and this helps maintain the common spaces. Included in this is an elevator which serves all five floors of the building.
Surroundings
Palermo is a constantly evolving city with international class facilities for business, shopping, sport, music and of course food and drink. The passion and character of the diverse population is evident everywhere from the luxury of the famous boutiques on Via Libertà and the iconic Teatro Massimo opera house to the intensity and passion of the old street markets and the city’s resurgent football club, recently purchased by the Abu Dhabi-based City Group.
The Belgio-Strasburgo neighbourhood in which Casa Sabrina is found is quiet, residential and served by many shops and amenities. You’ll find shops, supermarkets, banks, schools, pharmacies and restaurants within walking distance. A local market held right on Viale Francia offers the most convenient option for buying fresh local produce in an authentic and convivial atmosphere.
The property is only a two minute walk from the Palermo Francia underground station, which provides easy access to the city centre and other key areas, as well as offering a direct connection to the airport in thirty minutes.
If you’re travelling by car, the old town of Palermo is only ten minutes away. Mondello beach is 15 minutes, and the airport can be reached in 20.
