Casa Pietro – Gratteri – Property for sale in Gratteri, Sicilia, Italy

TWO-BEDROOM AFFORDABLE PROPERTY IN GRATTERI WITH SEA-VIEW BALCONY AND TERRACE

Tall and deceptively roomy inside, Casa Pietro stands head and shoulders above its neighbours in the centre of the little town of Gratteri. The town’s location, on top of one of the first big hills of the Madonie Natural Park, and the four-storey palazzo-style home combine to provide some spectacular sea views.

Whether from the balcony on the second floor, or the little roof terrace above, there is a thrilling panorama of green slopes, blue sea and seemingly always cloudless sky. All without sacrificing any of the convenience of a central location

BRIGHT, AIRY AND SPACIOUS

The design of Casa Pietro is simple, with essentially one room per level. On the ground floor this is a space which is currently let out as commercial real estate, but could certainly be re-integrated into the living area or provide a useful store room.

Up the smart marble stairs, on the first and second floors, are a pair of identical large rooms with roomy balconies overlooking Corso Umberto and catching sun throughout the day thanks to their south-eastern orientation. On each level a balcony to the rear of the property guarantees a through-flow of air and plenty of sunlight.

POTENTIAL IN ALL DIRECTIONS

The top floor does need some work, with a kitchen that will need to be fitted from scratch and a utility room which is not quite making the best use of its space. The little terrace tantalises rather than setting the heart on fire, but we think there is room to enlarge it or create a new platform at a higher level.

If you are able to do this – and we think that a total investment of around €120,000 would give you a fabulous two bedroom property in perfect condition and that priceless roof terrace – you will have found yourself a bargain in one of the Madonie’s prettiest and best-located villages.
