Stylish town house with garden, ready to move in

This ready-to-move-in house is hidden in a lane of Badia Petroia, just a few steps from the central piazza and the famous ‘Abbazia di Badia Petroia’. The town house was completely renovated by a Düsseldorf architect, with great attention to detail and using traditional materials such as terracotta and wooden beams, and given a modern, fresh look. Unique for a village house like this, is the pretty little garden and the open panoramic view of the countryside. It is a pleasant, green and peaceful oasis that can be enjoyed with friends and family on beautiful spring and summer days. The total area of the house is approx. 100 sqm and is spread over three floors. The house is offered almost fully furnished, with the exception of the personal belongings of the owner. You enter the cosy living room, which has a well-functioning fireplace. The back door leads to the garden, so you can stay in touch with nature. The beautiful kitchen is timeless and fully equipped. On the ground floor you will find a small storage room. A local sandstone staircase leads to the first floor, with a second living room and a modern bathroom with bath, shower, washbasin, bidet and toilet. No expense has been spared on the bathroom fittings. Both the bath and the taps are from renowned designers and have been installed with great care. The staircase leads to the second floor, where the two bedrooms are located. The style is a mix of modern and traditional elements, with exposed stone walls and decorative plasterwork. The choice of colours and finishes gives the house a unique and fresh look, making it an ideal holiday home. Water, gas and electricity are connected. Wi-Fi can easily be installed via satellite. There is plenty of parking space near the house. A supermarket and a bar are just a few steps away. During the summer months, the local community organises numerous activities in the piazza. For this purpose, a Piaggio Ape has been converted into a mobile barbecue. In short, this house is worth a visit and highly recommended for those looking for a ready-to-use solution without too many worries. The property will be available from November 2024.
