Old mansion with terrace in historic center

Located in Piazza Roma, one of the most beautiful squares in the city, this house of rare beauty is housed in Palazzo Gastaldi, an elegant and charming building. The palace was designed in 1989. It is an excellent example of the Art Nouveau style that was so popular at the end of the 19th century. Palazzo Gastaldi was designed by the architect Carlo Bensi. It was built for Luigi Gastaldi, a banker and prominent member of the Asti bourgeoisie. The main entrance to the building is imposing, due to the width of the doorway and the period details, such as the solid wood porphyry inlaid on the walkway leading to the courtyard, where we find instead perfect two-tone cobblestones. The apartment can be accessed by two staircases, the main one that leads from the hallway, royal in size, ornaments and frescoes, and the secondary one that leads from the courtyard, where the convenient lift is also located. The possibility of a double entrance makes it possible to enter the apartment rationally, also thanks to the "L" shape, emphasising the character of a representative residence. Period details and furnishings such as wooden floors, ornate wooden doors and historic cast-iron radiators allow a conservative renovation of a unique apartment. There are two corridors that cleverly divide the spaces and give access to the 7 rooms, 3 of which overlook Piazza Roma and 4 overlook Via Balbo. The dining room, separated from the kitchen, opens onto a large terrace of 70 square metres, overlooking the rooftops of the city's historic villas. There are 4 bathrooms, where a practical laundry room can be allocated during the renovation. The attic is owned and has a size of 170 sqm to be renovated. The property has two large brick vaulted cellars and a convenient garage in the courtyard on the ground floor. An ideal property for those who want to live in the centre of the town, without giving up the comfort of the outside thanks to the wonderful terrace.
