Description
Beautifully restored and presented in excellent condition, the property combines traditional Tuscan character with modern comforts. Original features, including exposed wooden beams, and a beautifully hand-painted ceiling, give the house plenty of personality, while its central location makes it an ideal permanent home or holiday retreat.
Located in the heart of the historic centre of Monterchi, directly opposite the beautiful church of San Simeone, whose origins date back to the Middle Ages, this charming townhouse offers approximately 85 sqm of living space arranged over three floors.
About Monterchi
Monterchi is a picturesque hilltop town in the eastern Tuscan countryside, close to the border with Umbria and surrounded by rolling hills, olive groves and beautiful rural scenery.
The town is perhaps best known for The Madonna del Parto, the celebrated Renaissance fresco by Piero della Francesca, which attracts visitors from around the world.
With its peaceful setting and welcoming local community Monterchi offers a range of everyday amenities, including shops, cafés, restaurants and essential services. The nearby towns of Anghiari and Sansepolcro offer further facilities, while larger cities such as Arezzo and Città di Castello are within easy reach.
The Property
Ground Floor - 25 sqm
The entrance opens into small hallway with a charming rustic kitchen on the right with a traditional wood-burning stove, creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. This could easily be turned into an office space if needed as there is a second kitchen on the floor above. Opposite the kitchen is a bathroom featuring an elegant freestanding claw-foot bathtub.
A particularly intriguing feature of the property is the hatch in the hallway, which leads down to a basement. Local tradition suggests that this underground space may once have formed part of a network of tunnels used as escape routes by the families living in the historic centre seeking refuge when the town was under siege. Today, it provides a useful and rather unusual storage area, adding a fascinating touch of history to the property.
First Floor - 30 sqm
The first floor is home to a warm and welcoming open-plan living area with a fitted kitchen, wood-burning stove and access to a private balcony.
One of the most distinctive features of this room is its beautifully hand-painted ceiling, decorated by a local artist in the early 20th century. This charming piece of local craftsmanship adds character and a wonderful sense of history to the room.
Stairs lead from the living area to the second floor.
Second Floor - 30 sqm
The top floor comprises two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom fitted with a good sized corner shower.
In the hallway just outside the bathroom there is a cupboard which houses the property's boiler which is connected to town gas.
