Description

A beautifully restored house in a small hamlet only 10 minutes from Cortona with all the delights that city has to offer both in summer and in winter.

The house is completely independent and yet is close to several other similarly restored properties which creates a nice community feel while remaining private. The house is very close to the finishing stages and is waiting and ready for someone who likes to mix culture with nature to landscape the surrounding garden and enjoy their piece of Tuscan living.

There are two driveways leading to the property. The first allows the owner to park in the integral underground garage which has stairs leading to the house, very useful if the weather happens to be a little inclement. Within the garage there is also a large utility/laundry area, storage area and another which would be perfect for fridge/freezers to allow the kitchen space to be maximised. The second driveway allows one to park the car close to the entrance for the kitchen so excellent when laden with shopping bags full of Italian goodies!

The ground floor of the house has a wonderful outdoor terrace surrounding it and to the side of the house there will be a pergola erected for summer dining or operatives.

The main living area is on the ground floor and comprises a lounge with fireplace and a light and airy kitchen/dining area leading out on to the terrace. On this floor there is also a bathroom with shower and a room which could either be bedroom three or a study if required.

An open plan staircase with wrought iron balustrade and recessed wall lights close to the stairs leads to two double bedrooms and a large bathroom with shower. One of the bedrooms has been predisposed for a built in wardrobe and also has a loggia so that you can get up in the morning and walk out into the sunshine. Ah heaven!

The garden surrounds the property and is waiting to be landscaped. There is ample room for a swimming pool and the whole surrounding could be made very private with some Cypress trees and mature shrubs. A flourish of lavender and sunflowers and you are ready to write the book.
