This contemporary-style penthouse apartment on the San Moisè canal in the center of Venice has more than a dozen large casement windows for viewing the San Marco neighborhood, including its distinctive bell tower. The 1,940-square-foot apartment, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, is on the fourth floor of the wood-and-brick Palazzo Barcaroli, which has seven other apartments and a grand entrance off the canal. The palazzo once belonged to the Venetian noble family of Foscari, whose ancestors included a 15th-century doge.The building is in good condition but has no elevator. The penthouse was redesigned and refurbished in 2011 in a sleek modern style by the Italian architect and interior designer Barbara Angi, but also incorporates the heavy beech ceiling beams, which arrived in Venice via the Alps when the palazzo was built. The architect designed a second level in the attic that comprises a third bedroom and a study, reached by a heavy oak staircase.

This contemporary-style penthouse apartment on the San Moisè canal in the center of Venice has more than a dozen large casement windows for viewing the San Marco neighborhood, including its distinctive bell tower. The 1,940-square-foot apartment, which has three bedrooms and three bathrooms, is on the fourth floor of the wood-and-brick Palazzo Barcaroli, which has seven other apartments and a grand entrance off the canal. The palazzo once belonged to the Venetian noble family of Foscari, whose ancestors included a 15th-century doge.The building is in good condition but has no elevator. The penthouse was redesigned and refurbished in 2011 in a sleek modern style by the Italian architect and interior designer Barbara Angi, but also incorporates the heavy beech ceiling beams, which arrived in Venice via the Alps when the palazzo was built. The architect designed a second level in the attic that comprises a third bedroom and a study, reached by a heavy oak staircase.
