Studio Flat for Sale in Prati, Via Crescenzio: Top Floor near St Peter’s

On Via Crescenzio, in Rome’s Prati district, a short walk from Piazza del Risorgimento and the colonnade of St Peter’s, a furnished studio flat of 39 sq m (commercial area, Italian measurement) is for sale on the third and top floor of a period building. The main room has ceilings 3.32 metres high. The flat is currently run as a short let; as a result, it is equally suited to an investor or to anyone wanting a base in Rome.

A street with a thousand years of history

Via Crescenzio runs from Piazza Cavour, home to the Palace of Justice, to Piazza del Risorgimento. It takes its name from Crescentius, the Roman nobleman who, at the end of the tenth century, proclaimed himself “Patricius Romanorum” and, so tradition has it, barricaded himself inside Castel Sant’Angelo, just a few minutes away. In the Middle Ages, pilgrims on their way to St Peter’s passed this way.

Moreover, Prati was the last of Rome’s historic districts to be created, formally established in 1921. It is laid out on a grid of broad, regular streets lined with late nineteenth-century palazzi and Art Nouveau villas, and its streets are named after figures from ancient Rome and the Risorgimento. Via Cola di Rienzo, one of the city’s main shopping streets, is a few minutes’ walk away.

The studio flat for sale in Prati, Rome

An entrance hall leads to the main room. Here the space takes its light from high windows with motorised opening. Ceilings of more than three metres give the room a sense of space unusual in a flat of this size. At present it is furnished with a double and a single bed, sleeping three, although the room can be arranged however the new owner wishes.

Off the main room, side by side, are two smaller spaces:

• a shower room with a high window and a sliding door, with a separate cupboard housing the boiler;
• a kitchenette with an induction hob and two windows.

Finally, the flat is sold furnished. It also has air conditioning and independent gas heating.
