A beautiful and characterful corner townhouse of more than 228 sqm = approximately 2,454 sq ft, and a garage of 41 m² = approximately 441 sq ft., set in the heart of a historic medieval village, in the province of Arezzo.
The property enjoys a truly exceptional position, with far-reaching panoramic views across the Val di Chiana from the windows and roof terrace. At the same time, the house is within easy walking distance of the village’s local amenities, restaurants, bars and everyday services.
The property offers a rare combination of historic character, generous living space, a private garage, a large garden and spectacular views, making it suitable as a permanent residence, a Tuscan holiday home or an investment property.
The Property:
The house extends over three floors and has a total living area of more than 228 sqm (approx. 2,454 sq ft).
It was renovated between approximately 1985 and 1990 and was subsequently occupied by the owners until around six months ago. The property is now vacant and can therefore be taken over and occupied immediately.
The house is connected to the main utilities, including mains water, electricity and sewage.
A gas supply has been brought up to the property, but the house has not yet been connected by the current owner. The new owner can therefore decide whether to complete the connection or continue using the existing heating system.
Heating is currently provided by a diesel-fired central heating system, which is fully operational, while hot water is supplied by electric boilers.
Private Garden / Vegetable Garden:
A rare and valuable feature is the private garden of approximately 1,570 sqm (approx. 16,900 sq ft), located about 250 metres from the house and adjoining the ancient medieval walls of the village.
The land includes olive and fruit trees, as well as areas suitable for a vegetable garden or small orchard. It is easily accessible both on foot and by car.
For irrigation, the property has a rainwater collection tank, providing a practical water supply for the garden.
The property is being sold in its present condition, as viewed during inspections.
Asking Price: €280,000 – approx. US$ 319,000
