Pretty Majella stone house in the historic centre of the medieval village of Sant’Eufemia a Majella which a wonderful village tucked in the wild nature of Abruzzo, where the kids still play on the road.
The townhouse is a portion of a building. Inside it is needs updating but outside it is in great condition with a renovated roof (in wood and ancient tiles), with new gutters and a new plaster. The work was carried out approximately 10 years ago.
The property is on three levels.
Basement - hosts a storage room the raised floor.
Ground floor - accessible from an external staircase it holds a dining/ kitchen room with a wonderful period fireplace and a bathroom.
First floor - there is a bedroom with terrace and a storage room.
The fixtures are in ancient wood, the vaults in some rooms are in ancient bricks (currently plastered). For its position, the structure can be used as a vacation home since the village is located inside the Majella National Park and close to the Lama Bianca Natural Reserve.
