Description

Situato in una delle zone residenziali più strategiche di Catania, precisamente in via Barriera, si propone in vendita un luminoso appartamento di quattro vani che si estende su una superficie di circa 100 mq. L'immobile è collocato al primo piano di uno stabile ben curato e sarà disponibile e libero al rogito entro sei mesi. L'ingresso principale si apre direttamente su un accogliente salone che rappresenta il cuore della zona giorno, ideale per momenti di relax o per accogliere gli ospiti. La distribuzione degli spazi interni è estremamente funzionale e comprende un pratico ripostiglio e un versatile camerino finestrato, perfetto per essere utilizzato come studiolo o piccolo ufficio domestico. La zona notte è composta da due ampie camere da letto che garantiscono massimo comfort e riservatezza. Uno dei punti di forza dell'abitazione è la cucina abitabile, che viene consegnata già completamente arredata; l'ambiente risulta particolarmente arioso grazie all'affaccio sul balcone e alla presenza di una comoda veranda esterna che funge da ulteriore spazio di servizio. Il bagno, moderno e funzionale, è dotato di un pratico box doccia. A completare le dotazioni della proprietà troviamo un posto auto interno al residence di pertinenza esclusiva e un comodo garage di 18 mq, elementi che risolvono definitivamente ogni esigenza di parcheggio in zona. La richiesta per questa proposta immobiliare completa di ogni comfort è di 145.000 euro.

Visa

Digital Nomad Visa — requires remote work for foreign clients/employers, min €28,000/yr net income, and 6 months work experience. Valid 1 year, renewable. Elective Residence Visa — for retirees and those with passive income (€31,000/yr minimum, no work allowed). Both offer a path to long-term residency.

Key Fact

Italy launched its digital nomad visa in 2024, making it much easier for remote workers than the old elective residence route. Italian bureaucracy is notoriously slow (3-6 months processing), so patience and a good immigration lawyer are essential.

Next steps for moving to Italy

Interested in this property? Here's how to move forward.

1

Understand the buying rules

Foreign ownership laws vary wildly by country. Some welcome you, others restrict or ban foreign buyers entirely.

2

Sort out your visa

Owning property doesn't give you the right to live there. Research residency options before you buy.

3

Plan your finances

Understand currency risk, international wire transfers, and whether you can get a local mortgage.

4

Know your tax obligations

US citizens are taxed on worldwide income. You'll need to file US taxes from abroad and may owe local taxes too.

5

Set up healthcare

Medicare doesn't cover you overseas. You'll need international health insurance or a local plan.

6

Run the full checklist

Banking, mail forwarding, power of attorney, pet import rules — the complete pre-move checklist.
