A stylish city requires a stylish apartment in which to enjoy it

To truly embody life in Milan, the Italian capital of style and fashion, one needs an elegant penthouse apartment that cherishes the historical features while delivering the modern conveniences and luxuries.

This elegant penthouse retains historical flourishes with added modern luxuries

Within an elegant building dating back to 1910 – passing through the beautifully renovated communal areas – your new home could be this two-level penthouse of glorious light and proportion.

Beautiful wooden floors stretch throughout the two-level penthouse

Beyond the entrance hall lies the lounge, a study and a neat, chic dining room for entertaining long into the night (the Italian way, of course).

Various reception rooms can be used as desired – this makes a stylish dining area

The kitchen is exquisitely fitted, nestling in neatly under on of the staircases. There is ample space for preparing meals alongside a kitchen table for more casual meals and long chats over a cup of coffee.

Intrepid carpentry has enabled this chic kitchen to nestle in beneath one of the staircases

The lounge opens onto a charming terrace, which could serve as the ideal spot for morning coffee or an aperitivo (or three) before a night sampling Milan’s dynamism.

With terraces on both levels, you won’t feel hemmed in by apartment living

The master sleeping suite of this property continues the theme of historic style and elegance in simplicity. There is a spacious bedroom that opens onto another terrace and sits beside a chic bathroom.

Large, bright bedrooms come accompanied by elegant bathrooms

The bedroom also boasts an impressive walk-in closet to ensure you never leave your penthouse without looking your very best for the stylish Milanese.

This is what you call a Wardrobe – a dressing area to impress!

The upper floor, nestled gloriously within the eaves, is another large bedroom suite, complete with bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The current owners are using this space as an additional lounge area but it would make a dramatic and spacious bedroom at the top of the property.

A large suite within the eaves could make a palatial master suite or turned to another purpose, such as a studio

The three-bedroom property comes with two covered parking spaces inside the building – a real perk for living within the city – and the location is superb. Situated close to the oasis of Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli and within striking distance of the lively Brera area, the apartment places owners on the edge of the dynamism, while still offering a peaceful slice of serenity.

Elegance and space are two of the prominent vibes, making this penthouse feel welcoming while impressive

Milan Malpensa International Airport is 49km outside the city but well-connected via trains and taxis. The main train station is the country’s second biggest and provides connections to other major hubs.
