The house

A LARGE OLD HOUSE ON THREE LEVELS, in the historic center of the BEAUTIFUL TOWN OF MELFI, IN ITALY’S BASILICATA REGION. Renovated years ago with modern comforts, but built in the style and with materials typical of the area: Trani stone for the decorations, wood for the fixtures, wood and terracotta for the floors.

THE GROUND FLOOR has a large entrance hall with high ceilings and an adjoining room which leads to two other small rooms. The entire floor is suitable to be transformed into a small apartment. Also from the ground floor there is access to a spacious cellar, partly underground, and to a garage with independent external access.

ON THE FIRST FLOOR, which is accessed via a marble staircase, there is a large double living room with four windows, a large airy and bright kitchen – double-exposed with three windows overlooking the mount Vulture and the beautiful cathedral square – as well as three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

ON THE SECOND AND TOP FLOOR there is a large bedroom with bathroom and a small bedroom, both facing onto A VERY LARGE TERRACE WITH A FASCINATING VIEW of the town of Melfi, with the CASTLE on one side, the “PIAZZA DELLA CATTEDRALE” (Cathedral) on the other, and MONTE VULTURE with its woods and countryside with vineyards at the front.

The house is currently only occasionally inhabited, and is ready for renovation in the hands of a new owner. The property is A SINGLE LARGE HOUSE, BUT LENDS ITSELF TO POSSIBLE DIVISION INTO SEVERAL HOUSING UNITS.

PRICE: €350,000 (ABOUT $375,000)
