About this place
Located in Catania, this comfortable and bright apartment spans approximately 130 square metres and features two bedrooms and two bathrooms. Situated on the second floor of a well-maintained building with an elevator, the apartment benefits from a prized position just 30 metres from Via Androne, close to the historic Villa Bellini. This area is well-known for its proximity to major university faculties, Garibaldi Centro Hospital, and lush green spaces, making it an ideal option for both a prestigious home and a lucrative investment.
The internal layout of the apartment is well thought out, with a spacious entrance hallway leading into a double balcony lounge, which is versatile enough to be divided to create a fourth room or independent studio. A corridor effectively separates the two large bedrooms, ensuring privacy and ample living space. Additional features include a master bathroom with a bathtub, a second service bathroom, an internal laundry area, and a kitchen that opens onto balconies with serene views of the Alessi Garden, providing a tranquil retreat in the bustling city centre.
While the apartment is self-contained with a thermosiphon system, it is in need of renovation. This presents an opportunity for the new owner to modernise and customise the interior finishes to their taste, creating a personalised living space in a central and sought-after location.

Buying property in Italy
Italy is open to most foreign buyers under reciprocity rules (EU/EEA buyers always; non-EU buyers from countries with bilateral agreements, which covers the UK, US, Canada, Australia and most major markets). A codice fiscale is required, and a notaio handles the conveyance as a neutral public official. An independent lawyer or geometra is strongly recommended for due diligence.
The €1 home schemes in southern villages are real but come with strict renovation deadlines (typically 3 years) and security deposits.
Non-resident mortgages from Italian banks are available but limited (typically 50–60% LTV).
The prima casa (primary residence) tax rate of 2% requires you to declare residency in the same comune within 18 months of completion — failure means back-taxes plus penalties.
General guidance only — confirm specifics with a qualified local lawyer or tax adviser. Reference
