Sicily, Palermo, Santa Flavia, Italy

Ref. Appar.to Assunta - Porticello - With great hillside views and a convenient coastal location, Appartamento Assunta in Porticello is a great offer. Its two bedrooms, a kitchen and large living room as well as a bathroom, storeroom and corridor give you a total of 95m2 of indoor space.


SUNNY AND SCENIC
The south-facing home has been designed to take full advantage of the sunny location, right at the top of the village and directly next to the first slopes of Monte Catalfano. Each of its four rooms has a French window that opens onto either a balcony or the small covered terrace off the living room.

This fills the place with natural light and fresh air, with the position 40 metres above sea level enough to bring in a cooling breeze in the summer. With the opposite lot empty, your view is of the green hillside and Sicily's famous deep blue sky. It's almost the best view we can imagine without losing the convenience of living in a small town.



A FRIENDLY FISHING VILLAGE WE'RE PROUD TO ENDORSE
Talking of the surrounding community, you'll find Porticello a really welcoming and liveable place. We'll put our cards on the table here: we like it so much that we chose it ourselves – our office is just a five minute walk downhill towards the charming marina and restaurant-filled seafront. Our favourite thing about the neighbourhood is how well it's managed to preserve its relaxed local character. You won't find dramatic numbers of tourists here, and you'd never guess that Sicily's biggest city was just fifteen kilometres away to the west.

You can get into Palermo by car, or take the train from nearby Santa Flavia, whose station is just a fifteen minute walk from Appartamento Assunta. Within a similar range are the beach and nature reserve of Sant'Elia, the important archaeological site of Solunto, the exciting rocky coastline of Mongerbino and the Baroque villas of Bagheria. Truly something for everyone.


READY TO USE WITH NO FURTHER INVESTMENT REQUIRED
The property has been unoccupied for a while, and it will be necessary to manage a little bit of moisture which has accumulated in some corners of the home – but there is absolutely nothing to cause concern on a structural level about this modern and well-maintained home. The windows and shutters are efficient and in good shape; the electricity and plumbing fixtures are recent and certified, and the building's common areas are clean and in good condition.

The cul-de-sac on which the apartment is found is enclosed behind a gate, and for additional convenience there is even a 12m2 garage included in the sale price. It would make a lovely second home or base for a new life in the sun.
