Located in the highly sought-after Colle district, the property benefits from extraordinary natural light throughout the day, with sunlight flowing into every room. Its elevated and dominant position offers what is arguably the most captivating view over Arpino: a unique landscape where the town unfolds like a harp, gently descending towards the valley before rising again to the historic hill of Civita Falconara. Fully restored just a few years ago, the property has undergone a refined design-led renovation, where historic character and contemporary living blend seamlessly. Original stone elements have been carefully preserved, polished and sealed, alongside ancient wooden beams and traditional roof tiles, creating a home of rare authenticity and elegance. The property extends to approximately 200 sqm over three floors, complemented by a charming private courtyard at the rear. On the ground floor, there are two spacious rooms currently arranged as a bedroom and a living area, together with a bathroom with shower. A large cellar space accommodates the technical area, including water tank and boiler, as well as pantry and laundry facilities. The first floor hosts a beautiful sequence of living spaces, including a professional design kitchen, dining room, and an exceptionally bright living room. This level opens onto a panoramic balcony and enjoys views over both the town and the private rear courtyard. The rear courtyard is a truly special feature of the property. Bordering the ancient stone walls of a historic Benedictine cloistered monastery, it offers a unique and atmospheric setting. Positioned at the foot of a dramatic rocky outcrop, the space is perfectly arranged for outdoor living, with areas dedicated to dining, relaxation and barbecue, as well as a more secluded section ideal for laundry use. The courtyard also benefits from independent external access, without the need to pass through the main house. At the upper level, the property features a magnificent master suite with a striking exposed timber truss ceiling, flooded with natural light and offering breathtaking panoramic views. This floor also includes a generous walk-in wardrobe with access to a balcony and a large bathroom with shower. The location is both central and convenient, just a short walk from Piazza Sant'Andrea and its historic church, as well as the main town square where cafés, restaurants and essential services are located. A public parking area is situated directly in front of the property, adding a rare and valuable practical advantage for a home in the historic centre.
