In the heart of the historic centre of Penne, a pre-Roman city, voted as one of 'The Most Beautiful Towns in Italy', also known as the "city of brick", is this characteristic townhouse, on 3 levels. It is composed as follows:
GROUND FLOOR - entrance hall and multipurpose room that can be used as a cellar / garage / games room
FIRST FLOOR - kitchen, living room and connecting sitting room both with beautiful vaulted ceilings, hallway, two bathrooms and utility/storage room. There is also another entrance onto this floor, from a side road.
SECOND FLOOR - hallway and two double bedrooms. One of the bedrooms has a barrel vaulted ceiling. The view from the bedrooms, across the rooftops to the Adriatic coast is stunning.
The property is totally habitable. The current owners have carried out some renovation, such as a new bathroom. There is a lot of potential for this property. Some works are recommended, to further improve the property.
Ideal both for living or as a holiday home.
PENNE - PESCARA PROVINCE
Penne is a beautiful hilltop town which is popular with both overseas home buyers and visitors to Abruzzo. It has shops, banks, restaurants, cafés and bars as well as historical buildings. As you stroll around the town you will see fascinating lanes, characterised by ancient houses and churches, almost entirely made of bricks. This makes Penne one of the most historically significant towns of the area. It also affords breathtaking views to the mountains.
August is festival time in Penne when the streets are filled with stalls selling arts, crafts and culinary delights. Not to be missed.
