Rijeka, Spacious Apartment Filled with Rich History This apartment, located in the historic Villa Kaftanić in Rijeka, built in 1901 by the renowned Kaftanić family from Krk, offers a unique opportunity to live in a space that exudes history and elegance. Situated in an excellent location, the apartment provides stunning views of the sea and Rijeka's city center. The apartment spans 180 square meters, with 165 square meters of interior space and 15 square meters of loggia and balcony. The villa is well-preserved with original architectural details characteristic of the early 20th century, including large rooms with numerous windows, abundant natural light, and a fluid layout. The exterior of the building is adorned with rarely preserved historical details. The apartment once belonged to Professor Paula Julija Kaftanić, an eminent artist who left an indelible mark on Rijeka and Croatian culture in the 20th century. In this apartment, she created and socialized with well-known artists such as J.P. Kamov and Sunčana Škrinjarić. Every corner of this magnificent, aristocratic apartment tells a story, whether it be the perfectly preserved antique furniture, beautiful chandeliers, or massive ceramic stoves, of which there are three in the apartment. The apartment consists of four spacious south-facing rooms that can function as bedrooms, living rooms, or offices, as well as a kitchen, bathroom, toilet, and an additional room with a window currently used as a tool room but suitable for various other purposes. All rooms are connected by large wooden doors and a spacious hallway. The central room opens onto a covered loggia with views of the sea and Rijeka's city center, while the second balcony is located on the northern side of the apartment. The apartment includes a storage room in the building's basement, and the last renovation took place in 1970. Heating is possible via central heating on city gas, in addition to the existing ceramic stoves. Future owners are offered the possibility of purchasing an additional 262 square meters of courtyard space with a registered utility building and parking spaces, which is a rare find in this part of the city. It is possible to build a garage or a large gazebo with a barbecue area and plenty of space for outdoor enjoyment. The apartment is being sold partially furnished. The family plans to retain smaller pieces of furniture, but will leave the massive chandelier, large display cabinet, mirror, and massive antique sofa in the salon for the new owners. Although these antiques are included in the sale, the family is open to negotiating additional furniture, offering the opportunity to personalize the space according to the new owner's preferences. This unique property offers history, antique, and culture lovers the chance to own a piece of Rijeka's rich heritage. ID CODE: 2009-41
