Description
In the heart of the village of Villamagna, right next to a splendid deconsecrated church and the municipal town hall, there is a residence that tells stories of times gone by.
Once a convent of nuns, then a barracks, today this house preserves the charm of the past intact, ready to be rediscovered.
It is an independent townhouse of about 213 square meters, distributed on two levels, enriched by two panoramic terraces that open the view on the wonders of Abruzzo, between sea, hills and mountains, and by a private garage of 18 square metres, a rare and precious element in this area.
The entrance, on the ground floor, welcomes us into a large corridor flooded with light, thanks to imposing windows that give airiness and warmth.
Here there are three versatile rooms, perfect as bedrooms, a study or relaxation area, and a generously sized bathroom.
Going up a first flight of stairs you reach a second bathroom, completely renovated, which precedes the heart of the house, the first floor.
Here, a long corridor introduces the main rooms, an eat-in kitchen, three double bedrooms, a living area with parquet flooring, elegant and bright, embellished with a lovely balcony, and finally a third bathroom, also carefully renovated.
But what really makes this home unique are its two terraces, one, about 50 square metres large, perfect for hosting summer dinners or moments of pure relaxation, the other, more intimate, about 20 square metres, was imagined by the owner as a space for a small panoramic swimming pool.
The view from here is simply breathtaking.
The house retains original arches and period architectural details, and although it was partially renovated in 2017, it still offers room for interventions that could transform it into a refined and modern residence, without sacrificing its historical identity.
A perfect home for those looking for space and authenticity for their family, but also an ideal opportunity for those wishing to invest in a hospitality facility, such as a B&B, thanks to the strategic position and internal distribution that lends itself to multiple solutions.
VILLAMAGNA - CHIETI PROVINCE
Situated at an altitude of 255 metres in the valley of the river Fino, the town of Villamagna has a chequered history dating from Roman times. It has since been ruled by the Normans, Benedictine Monks and Ferdinand I of Naples whilst fending off invasions by Saracens and Turks.
The Porta da Capo is a beautiful, ancient gateway to the historical centre and there are several imposing buildings including the parish church of S. Maria Maggiore (XVIII century) with the adjacent former Palazzo Vescovile and the ancient church of S. Francesco.
Much of the area, surrounding the town, is used for growing grapes and Villamagna received its DOC appellation in 2011. It even has its own cantina where you can taste and buy.
The population of 2,351 is served by the town-s many facilities including food shops, pharmacy, bank, post office, bars and restaurants.
