House for sale in Alvito, Lazio

KEY FEATURE - Spacious rooftop terrace with breathtaking views over the Valle di Comino - Fully wood lined cantina with kitchen, fireplace and bathroom, cave and separate entrance - Attic apartment with separate street entrance, kitchen and living room, bedroom and bathroom - Wonderful main salon with fine Art Nouveau ceiling frescos and fireplace - Located in a quiet and picturesque quarter yet only a few minutes walk from the centre of town DESCRIPTION This very charming 230m2 four story townhouse, free on two sides, is located in a beguiling neighbourhood in the delightful town of Alvito and offers possibilities and potential, both business and residential. This property offers flexibility and utility with essentially three main living zones which can easily be sectioned and separated or swiftly integrated. Some attention is required to one section of roof and the guttering certainly would benefit from replacement or repair. The house is in otherwise good condition. The main front door opens onto a hallway-landing with access to the cantina below and the main floors above via a marble stairway with iron railing. The cantina has been almost entirely and very carefully lined in timber and features a well designed and functional kitchen area, a living area with a substantial fireplace, a bathroom and storage cave. This basement level has two entry doors with access to the street. The main living-room salon and principal kitchen are on the first floor. The salon is generously proportioned with a high ceiling featuring wonderful art nouveau fresco decoration. This room has a fireplace and large south facing window. The charming kitchen is beautifully decorated with ceramic tile and has, as well as all the amenities one would expect, an enclosed fireplace meaning cosy winter evenings cooking and chatting with family and friends but without the dust and draughts an open fire might bring. On the upper floor are the two generous main bedrooms of the house both of which have full french door type windows allowing in plenty of light and air as well as views out across the rooftops of the town. Here too we find the main bathroom. Also on this level and extending to the uppermost floor is a separate small apartment with kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom, separate street entrance and access to the large roof terrace. The roof terrace provides ample space for entertaining, dining or simply relaxing and taking the sun and has a view that really must be seen to be believed. It is as if one has a private box at nature's most magnificent opera house. The rooftops of medieval Alvito form terracotta tiers beneath one's feet and beyond lies a valley floor of magical Italian countryside dotted with fine old houses, terraced olive groves, vineyards and woodlands, gently rolling hills and scattered hamlets. This dreamlike landscape is embraced by towering mountains, snow topped in winter, the lower slopes of which are home to the other villages of the valle di Comino, each a jewel, each with unique food and folk traditions and at night the twinkling street lamps seem to float above the valley as if it is adorned with a most fantastical necklace of light. LOCATION: ALVITO & SOUTH LAZIO Alvito is a marvellous old town, full of life, busy with many festivals, market days and traditional and contemporary events. Abruzzo National Park is a few minutes drive away and the ski resort of Pescasseroli is within easy reach. The beach and coastal resort towns are about an hour west of Alvito and both Rome and Naples are about 90 minutes drive, meaning it is easy to spend the day in either city.
