Townhouse of Americans

Built on three levels, it is located within Cortona’s town centre in a quiet residential location, just five minutes on foot to the town’s main piazzas. 

Its private entrance leads into a spacious entry hall where, to the right, is a beautiful sitting room/study with an ancient artesian stone well, said to bring good luck. The stonework is simply enchanting. This level also provides a full bathroom with tub and laundry facilities.

Up the uniquely charming semi-circular stone staircase and you arrive at the grand living room and dining area (150 m²) with beautiful views from two south facing windows.  In the adjacent room is a large, bright farmhouse kitchen which enjoys the morning sun and lovely vistas. Stone sinks, hand painted tiles, and Tuscan charm combine seamlessly with modern appliances and amenities.

The semi-circular stone staircase leads up again to two light and spacious bedrooms with ancient cotto floors and wood beamed ceilings. Wake up in the morning to expansive views over the Valdichiana and the northern side of Lake Trasimeno!  There is a second bathroom on this level with window and shower.

Continuing up to roof level, one arrives at the private panoramic terrace (12 m²) which is the perfect space for sunbathing or quietly reading during the day and for sundowners and moonlit dinners in the evening.  Importantly, the terrace also has a service room containing a sink and a small refrigerator.

This is a superb, upmarket property which enormous appeal.  As a rental investment it could easily generate a gross rental income of approx. E.1400 per week.

Definitely worth viewing!
