Description
In the heart of Città di Castello, renovated historic mansion for sale. The property (over 280 sqm) is in an extremely convenient location in the town and is spread over several floors with a total of five bedrooms, five bathrooms and several very nice common areas. The property is completed by a large habitable terrace and a convenient private garage.
The building has exceptional features in terms of space, brightness and authenticity. The rooms are airy, the dimensions generous, and keep intact the original materials and details: the property is in perfect condition, renovated and with high-quality finishes typical of noble buildings.
The property is spread over four levels, and the large entrance hall gives access to the various sections of the house, which could therefore be easily divided into three independent living units. From the tavern with fireplace built on the ground floor, in perfect Umbrian style, to the beautiful terrace with which culminates the building, everything is treated in detail and in the strictest respect for the times that were without sacrificing all the comforts of modernity.
In addition to the tavern, the property offers the use of four living areas with fireplaces, a very spacious kitchen illuminated by two huge windows, five elegant bedrooms, three of which have en-suite bathrooms, and a total of five bathrooms, all with bath or shower.
The fireplaces are ancient and are all fully functional, although the current owners have added a Nordic heating system to naturally heat the whole house, which therefore is very warm in winter and very cool in summer.
The building boasts a well from medieval times.
From the toponymy of Città di Castello, it appears that St. Francis might have stayed here for a time.
In addition to the splendid stone fireplaces, the arches, capitals, vaults and inserts are also original from the 14th century. The floors are handmade antique terracotta with different formats, while the window sills and the staircase that runs centrally throughout the building are made of pietra serena. The ceilings with elegant exposed ancient beams of fine wood have been renovated according to earthquake-resistant criteria. The acoustic and thermal insulation is also perfect thanks to the latest generation of double-glazed wooden window frames. Even at the level of installations, everything has been redone with the most modern systems.
The property is completed by a garage (25 sqm) and a charming habitable terrace overlooking the city roofs and towers.
USE AND POTENTIAL USES
The property is perfect for one or more households. It is also very suitable for professionals who need a studio with an independent entrance from the house.
For those who would like to put the property to income, without the need for major changes, but simply closing some doors, it is possible to divide it into three independent apartments or even turn it into a charming B&B by taking advantage of the en-suite bathrooms dedicated to the rooms and the large common areas, perfect for offering dedicated relaxing corners for guests, even outdoors in the small terrace on the fourth floor.
