Sea-view apartment with terrace — Barcola, Trieste

Nestled in the greenery of Barcola — Trieste's seaside neighbourhood — this second-floor apartment is set within a building surrounded by a well-maintained communal park, offering sea views from both the living room and the terrace, overlooking the Barcola clubs.

For those unfamiliar with Trieste, it's worth explaining: in Barcola, "you have everything". The sea is literally across the road; the rowing and sailing clubs are just steps away (this is the home of the Barcolana), the dinghy club is a couple of minutes away, along with the moorings where you can keep a sailing boat or a dinghy. Within walking distance are the tennis and padel courts, the new sports centre about to open, the seafront restaurants and the Pineta pine grove. It is the perfect place for any outdoor activity: for a local, it means having "a holiday in the city"; for an international buyer, it is pure holiday living — with the city centre still just about ten minutes away.

The complex is one of the most exclusive and prestigious in the city, both for its location and for its nature as a small green compound: a quiet, protected setting where even children and teenagers can move around freely on their bicycles without a care. Viale Miramare is exceptionally well served by public transport and lies close to the Costiera coastal road towards Sistiana and Portopiccolo; Miramare Castle is very nearby.

The apartment already boasts an optimal layout that can be kept as it is. The living area comprises a lounge and kitchen, the sea-facing terrace and a full bathroom with window; the sleeping area features three bedrooms, a second full bathroom with window, a storage room and a walk-in wardrobe. Central heating is included — together with cold and hot water — in the condominium fees. As an appurtenance, the most convenient parking solution: a space in the communal garage.

Some modernisation work is required, but the structure is sound and the floor plan already works perfectly: it can be renovated without altering anything, restoring to new a property in one of the most desirable locations in Trieste. Cadastral surface area 177 m² (173 m² excluding outdoor areas).
