We are pleased to present for sale this charming ancient house located at the entrance of Piazze, a hamlet of the municipality of Cetona, renowned for having hosted the great conductor Toscanini. This unique property spans four levels, offering ample living spaces and a rich historical ambiance. On the ground floor, a distinctive entrance hall with a large stained glass window dating back to 1900 leads to the main living room, featuring a window overlooking the main street and a fireplace. A spacious kitchen with a French door provides access to a courtyard and a lovely 60 sqm garden. The ground floor also includes a garage, which also grants access to a cellar of approximately 100 sqm. The cellar houses five cement wine tanks, with a total capacity of around 1000 quintals. It boasts three windows overlooking a vegetable garden with an opening onto the Strada Vecchia (via della Resistenza) and a two-story brick henhouse/pigeon loft. This spacious area could be transformed into an indoor pool by utilizing the volume of the tanks. From the vegetable garden, there is access to a granary. The property features a large parking space measuring 7x3 meters in front of the house. A convenient and wide staircase leads to the first floor, where a landing provides access to a bedroom and a hallway leading to the master bedroom, characterized by a charming antique fireplace and a window opening onto a terrace. An anteroom with a 16-door wardrobe, two additional bathrooms, and a third bedroom with a French door onto a 1-meter-wide by 10-meter-long terrace, which continues with another 4x4-meter terrace above the garage, complete the first floor. On the second floor, a landing grants access to two north-facing bedrooms and a south-facing living room. Additionally, there is a guest room with an anteroom and bathroom, a room known as the "stage room" with a toilet and sink, and access to the attic. A south-facing room leads to two bedrooms, one facing southeast and the other southwest. The second-floor rooms preserve remnants of decorations executed in 1910 and again in 1920. The attic covers the entire house and is accessible only near the spine wall. It features two skylights and accommodates the centralized gas heating system. The property requires some renovation work to fully enhance its potential. Piazze, with its rich historical heritage and proximity to Cetona, offers an authentic and captivating experience.
