Completely renovated, set into the thousand year old walls of this historic hill-top town, this duplex
-apartment is ready to move into.
Accessed through a small courtyard with an attractive arched entrance, it has every modern
convenience together with original features unique to the region.
The open plan living space has a designer kitchen, a central dining area with space for eight, and
views of via Roma from a full-length balcony window/door.
The unique timber and glass stairs is an attractive feature of this double height space with its
original domed ceiling, emphasized by carefully concealed up-lighting.
A comfortable seating area under another domed ceiling leads into a double bedroom with a full-
length window and Juliette balcony - and another attractive high ceiling.
There is a bathroom on this floor with a full size bath and shower together with storage for linen.
Upstairs is light filled thanks to five half-moon shaped windows that look onto the largo below, onto
via Roma and over the roofs to some of the rolling hills of grain, vines and olives beyond that
surround town.
There is a second kitchen on this level, a comfortable seating area, (that can easily be changed into
a third bedroom), a dining table ideal for small dinner parties, and a study and sewing area with a
desk and some shelves.
Adjoining is a large double bedroom with a sloping ceiling, big enough for two or three single beds
or a double and single. A bright , airy bathroom with shower, whb and wc completes this floor.
A large south facing terrace is accessed through the bedroom. It has a pergola and a garden of
container plants with outdoor furniture and barbeque and wonderful views of the valley and hills
beyond. It is one of the highest points on this side of town, looking down on San Francesco
Church, built on the foundation of the old Norman Castle whose walls once included this house.
The utilities include mains gas central heating throughout, full-pressure public water supply and
fiber-optic fast internet, that makes this location ideal for Smart Working. The sale will include
some of the furniture , all in excellent condition.
Irsina has been selected as one of the most beautiful towns in Italy- i borgi piu belli d`italia - with
it`s old town - centro storico - in tact.
people are friendly and welcoming and there is a small coterie of foreigners, some who live
permanently in town.
While the historic proportions of the town have been carefully preserved, essential modern
conveniences are there also - fast fiber-optic internet, piped natural gas, excellent water and
electricity supply, daily refuse collection and street cleaning, public bus and train transport, cafes,
restaurants, bars shops, pub, health clinic doctors, dentists, museums, civic centers, post office,
bank, police, local administration, schools and weekly markets. A new public swimming pool,
tennis courts and a large stadium with a running track and equipped for various ball-games.
Matera is nearby with its ancient cave houses and Sassi, and now is a bustling visitor must, in part
thanks to its being European Capital of Culture in 2019. Irsina benefits from its proximity though
has none of the mass-tourism of its famous neighbor.
In the `instep` of Italy, Bari airport and the beaches of the Ionian are an hour away, with those of the
Adriatic and Mediterranean a little further, Skiing, when there is snow, is also little more than an
hour distant.
