Description
The property:
In the town centre, on a boulevard, just a short step from the historic centre devoted to pedestrians and just a stone’s throw from the town’s shopping precinct. A majestic stairway leads from the courtyard up to the entrance door in the main building.
The rear garden, neatly based on a geometric design, is adorned with parterres bordered with box trees, an ornamental pool complete with fountain, and is planted with Mediterranean species and white flowers, making it a haven of peace.
The mansion house:
The main building, spanning three stories above the “garden level”, is flanked by two wings forming a U-shape. It has a symmetrical facade with five bays. The casement windows on the 1st and 2nd floors have arched recesses. The ordered pilasters with sculpted volute capitals reinforce the classical appearance of the building. The right wing, the roof of which forms a terrace on the 1st floor, houses the garages. The left wing comprises a ground floor currently used as a garage with the upstairs converted into an independent flat.
Our opinion
In the centre of town, and therefore, with everything close to hand, this housing unit has a strict elegance on the outside in contrast to the distinct and original style of its interior decoration. This property for “city people” is full of assets: immediately habitable so long as the “spirit of the premises” is appreciated, an overly amount of comfortable living space, character features, and a garden giving it the air of a Palladian villa.
