Appartement in Santa Flavia

Appartamento Giuseppe - Santa Flavia

A first-floor apartment to renovate on the main street of Santa Flavia, Casa Giuseppe offers excellent value for anyone looking to create their ideal home or rental investment in a well-connected coastal location.

Character worth preserving

The apartment sits in a well-maintained building with an impressive original hardwood entrance. Inside, you'll find original ceramic floors in the living room and bedroom that showcase the decorative tile work Sicily is famous for. The living room has tall ceilings and an east-facing window that catches the morning light, while the bedroom is a good size with views onto a quiet side street.

The real highlight is the diner, which opens from the compact kitchen across a breakfast island. Three large windows and patio doors facing south and west flood this space with light throughout the day. The patio doors lead onto a small but sunny balcony – perfect for morning coffee or an evening drink.

Outstanding location

Santa Flavia station is a couple of minutes' walk from your front door, putting central Palermo within a 25-minute commute by train. This makes the apartment ideal for anyone who wants to work in the city while living by the sea, or for rental income from young professionals and digital nomads. The beach is 15 minutes away in the other direction. Daily essentials are all within walking distance, while nearby Bagheria offers supermarkets, larger shops and excellent restaurants, including two with Michelin stars. The dramatic headland of Capo Zafferano, with its beaches and diving spots, is waiting to be explored.

Ready for your vision

The apartment needs a complete renovation – new plumbing, updated electrics, bathroom refitting and redecoration throughout. This is due to neglect rather than structural issues, and there's nothing here that would concern an experienced builder. The ceramic floors are worth preserving as part of your renovation, giving your finished home a warmth and character that new materials can't replicate.

Investment potential

The combination of excellent transport links, proximity to both city and coast, and year-round amenities makes this a strong proposition for the rental market. Whether you're creating a weekend escape, a permanent home or an investment property, Casa Giuseppe offers the opportunity to build exactly what you want in a location that ticks every practical box.
