Superbly Restored Large Town House in Penne Historic Centre
We offer for sale a beautifully restored house in a tranquil, pretty piazzetta located in the heart of the
historic centre with all its bars, restaurants and shops within easy walking distance. The restoration has
been carried out with meticulous attention paid to preserving all the original features but with the
installation of modern bathrooms and kitchen.
The present facade dates back to the 1850s but parts of the building are much older and the extensive
cantinas with their brick vaults and arches are probably medieval. All the rooms of the house apart from
the cantinas have high, vaulted ceilings plastered and painted for maximum light.
The historical building is on 3 levels with the first and second floors for living accommodation. The
ground floor consists of three cantinas of approximately 130 square metres.
Ground Floor
3 storage rooms, with brick vaulted ceilings .
The living accommodation of around 300 square metres is arranged as follows:
First Floor
Two double bedrooms and an open plan large living area with a bar, fire place, kitchen, laundry and a
large bathroom are accessed from the spacious entrance hall. An imposing staircase with classic iron
balustrade and flanked by twin pillars rises to the second floor.
Second Floor
There are three more bedrooms on this floor (the master bedroom ensuite), a large sitting room, a third
bathroom and the kitchen and dining and living areas.
Heating and hot water is supplied by radiators and a new condensing boiler.
Flooring throughout is of modern ceramic tiling in light, neutral colours. All the original double doors are
still in place and they have been stripped and painted.
Suspended lighting accentuates the vaulted ceilings and the overall effect is of light filled spaces. An
ornate balcony overlooks the piazetta with its pretty, multi coloured town houses and the fountain that
gives the little piazza its name.
Car parking on a small scale for residents exists in the piazetta and large public parks are only a short
distance away outside the main gate to the historic centre.
This property offers residential living in style and may also have potential for use as a B&B , boutique
hotel or writer/artist retreat.
Full documentation can be supplied for all stages of the renovation process which was completed in 2015
Tastefully furnished in an eclectic mix of antique and modern styles this property is currently occupied as
a private residence but can be adapted for the use we suggest with only minor adaptations.
Penne is the historic centre of a commune of some 12,000 and has a flourishing mix of restaurants, bars
and shops. Schools and a college ensure a lively, youthful ambience and the community is very much
traditional Southern Italian. This beautiful area, midway between the Gran Sasso mountains and the
beaches and resort towns of the Adriatic is becoming better known to discerning travellers who want to
experience the ‘real’ Italy. There is an hourly bus service to Pescara with its international airport and fast,
efficient bus and rail services from Pescara to Rome and other major cities. Pescara itself is a large
resort city with 5k of beaches and promenades, very popular with Italian holiday makers.
We warmly recommend viewing.
