Property of the week: a charming waterfront villa in Treviso

For many people there is a certain charm in the dream of living in the city of Venice, but most are aware that that is simply a dream, and perhaps the reality of living in such a tourist hub doesn't appeal. However, for those that want a slice of Venitian-style life by the waterfront, but want to avoid the bustle of the marble city, it is hard to think of a better location than Treviso. A bustling city in its own right, with its own canals and stunning architecture, not far from Venice itself, it offers every amenity you will need to live a comfortable life. And in the outskirts of the city where this week's property, a charming waterfront villa, is located, there is an incredible sense of peace and quiet, perfect for a relaxing lifestyle in this beautiful city. 

The property is split across two separate buildings: the main villa itself, built over three floors, and a secondary annex built over two floors, with some 320m2 of floorspace between them. There are three large bedrooms and bathrooms in the main villa, with another of each in the annex. In addition the property comes with a 700m2 plot of land that includes paved terrace areas, patios, and exquisitely landscaped gardens, right up to the banks of the Sile River.

Inside the villa you are immediately greeted by a charming entrance hally with original tile flooring, giving a hint of the charming traditional aesthetic of much of the home. There are a pair of living rooms on the ground floor, one featuring an excuisite checkerboard pattern wooden floor and a stone fireplace, the other featuring an original chandelier and a grand piano. Both have dining tables in addition to the seating areas, and plenty of natural light from the large windows. Separated from these more traditional spaces is the fabulous modern kitchen, elegantly finished all in white, and fully equipped. 

Upstairs is where you will find the bedrooms in the main villa: the master bedroom, with its own private terrace, and another pair of well sized rooms, one of which is currently set up as a gorgeous library/study with exposed wooden beams and bookshelves lining one wall, plus its own small balcony. In addition, there are two bathrooms on this floor. In the basement there is a laundry room, ironing room, a pair of multi-purpose rooms, and a toilet. But it is in the annex where the additional features of the property shine through. The ground floor, composed of a spacious open-plan living room, dining room, and kitchenette is the perfect location for hosting guests, with large french doors leading directly to the garden, and a small bedroom, plus an expansive rooftop terrace on the upper floor. 

This gorgeous villa is a one of a kind opportunity. If you are looking for a peaceful life in a beautiful property, with modern comforts and traditional rustic features, and tons of outdoor space, right on the waterfront, this villa is exactly that. Don't waste any time getting a look at it. The villa is currently for sale on idealista for 1,200,000 euros.
