Unique loft with mezzanine, water gate and beautiful views over the Giudecca Canal

Just steps from the Giudecca Canal and overlooking the Zattere, this striking loft offers close to 300 sq m of internal space in one of Venice’s most sought-after settings. Set in Dorsoduro, the property blends bold contemporary design with the character of a historic waterside home.

The main entrance sits behind a large arched glazed façade that fills the interiors with natural light while preserving privacy. Inside, the living space feels open and dramatic, with exposed beams, clean white walls and a strong industrial edge.

The layout has been designed with flexibility in mind. Beyond the generous main living room, there is a separate area that works well as a reading room, study or private office, together with a bathroom. A partitioned section to one side contains the kitchen and living area, a double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. This part of the home looks directly onto the canal, bringing in both light and a distinctly Venetian atmosphere.

A staircase leads to the mezzanine level, which enjoys views towards the Giudecca Canal and adds further versatility to the space. Throughout the property, the use of volume, light and clean architectural lines gives each area a clear identity and a strong sense of style.

One of the loft’s most rare features is its private water entrance. The property also has its own water door, with the option to request a boat mooring permit, while a floating pier a few metres away allows safe access in all sea conditions. Independent heating, air conditioning with heat pump system and remotely accessible video surveillance complete the home.

Dorsoduro, and especially the Zattere, is one of the city’s most desirable residential areas, known for its galleries, museums, artisan shops, restaurants and relaxed feel. The Spirito Santo and Zattere vaporetto stops are both within easy walking distance, offering quick connections to St Mark’s Square and the rest of Venice.
