Italian term or phrase: internamente (in this context)
L'abitazione è realizzata internamente rispetto alla via XX

I'm having trouble understanding what exactly this means. Does it mean that the house has no opening directly onto via XX? Or does it refer simply to one side of the street? And how would you translate it?
grazie!

it means that the building is set well back from the street.

See this example:

they set the new block of buildings well back from the street, il nuovo centro residenziale sorge arretrato rispetto alla strada.

Thanks so much to both of you. I think this is the right answer for me because the street name is given as a point of reference/address, so it needs to figure in the translation as a positive reference point.

Yes, I would say it the house overlooks/faces an L-shaped garden of 2,500 square meters
