Property Santa Margherita Ligure Genova Liguria Italy – SML3578

Dominating the bay, elegantly decorated top floor apartment, spacious outdoor and roof terrace, elevator, garage, for sale in Santa Margherita Ligure. In one of the most sought-after, slightly hilly areas of Santa Margherita Ligure, this refined top-floor penthouse combines rationalist architecture, generous outdoor spaces, and modern systems. Located in an elegant early-1940s building designed by architect Ignazio Gardella, comprising only three residential units plus a former caretaker’s house in a separate structure, offers unparallel sea views. The façades were carefully restored in 2023, while the interiors offer an elevator with direct access into the apartment, opening into an entrance hall that leads to a spacious triple living room with french windows and access to a sea-view terrace. The total living area spans over 235 square meters boasting natural light, parquet flooring throughout, and uninterrupted views creating a strong visual connection between the interior and the surrounding landscape. The fully equipped kitchen is designed around a central island connected to the dining area, creating a functional and sociable environment. It is included in the sale and fitted with custom cabinetry and premium Barazza and Electrolux appliances, as well as Grohe fixtures. A spacious corridor integrates custom cabinetry and distributes the sleeping area. The master bedroom enjoys excellent natural light and sea views, while a second double bedroom faces the side gardens. Two further rooms, currently configured as walk-in wardrobes and an ironing room, can easily function as additional bedrooms, a study, or wellness area. A closet includes a storage/laundry room. Two bathrooms complete the level, one fitted with double sinks, a spacious shower and window. From the kitchen a spiral staircase leads to the upper level, where a study opens onto the property’s most distinctive feature: a unique 200 square meters (2152 sq ft) panoramic roof terrace fully upgraded in 2023 with new insulation and flooring. Connections for electricity, gas, and hot/cold water are already installed, allowing the addition of an outdoor kitchen, veranda, or small pool without invasive structural work thanks to the floating floor system. A private internal lift also connects the apartment to the terrace. Additional amenities include a garage, cellar, independent heating with a high-efficiency Vaillant condensing boiler, and suspended ceilings designed to accommodate a future ducted air-conditioning system. The setting ensures privacy and quiet while remaining highly convenient: the historic center and waterfront are reachable in 5 minutes on foot via the pedestrian street near Via Queirolo. A marvellous sea home that combines architectural elegance, functional layout, high-quality finishes, and exceptional outdoor living where to enjoy scenographic sunsets.
