A spacious apartment in the heart of the historic centre of Penne. It lies close to the main piazza, and is wholly located on the first floor of a large building, built in 1629. Some of the features of the shared courtyard, with its spectacular entrance, are thought to be of an earlier period.
The internal layout (approximately 94sqm), maximises usage of space and comprises:
Entrance hall, spacious living room, large kitchen, 2 double bedrooms, bathroom with bath-tub and bidet.
Externally, access is shared, but part of the covered vaulted porch is utilised as outside space, with room for plants and a table and chairs.
The apartment itself was fully modernised, in a sympathetic manner, around 12 years ago. Many period features were retained, including an old terracotta tiled floor in the majority of rooms. A particular feature is the height of the vaulted ceilings, generally in excess of 4 metres. All windows are double glazed, whilst the ones overlooking the street are also shuttered. Gas central heating is installed throughout. A wood-burning stove was recently installed in the open fireplace.
Four apartments share the access courtyard and external stairs, which underwent a substantial renovation in recent years, designed to highlight the abundant historic features of the original palazzo.
The current owners installed the kitchen, and have introduced modern and functional furniture, to blend in with the period features. The kitchen is included in the price, and it is possible to purchase the furniture.
An ideal property both for permanent living, or for a lock up and leave holiday home. In Penne, there is a good selection of shops, restaurants, bars, hospital, and services. There is also a good bus service to Pescara.
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.
