Perugia, Umbria

Reference: KPMQ-T2577. Your pied-a-terre in Umbria takes shape in a welcoming apartment located on the first floor of a charming condominium within a historic building, rich in character and atmosphere. The building, dating back to the 1200s, was originally constructed as a fortress for important lords of Perugia, set in a strategic position thanks to the vast panorama it enjoys, allowing the sighting of approaching enemies. It was later converted into a convent for the Poor Clares. Today it is an evocative condominium of 12 residential units, many of which with independent access. The staircase serving the apartment is shared by only 4 units. With a commercial area of approximately 80 sqm, this property represents the perfect balance between modern comfort and tradition. Upon crossing the threshold, you are welcomed into a pleasant living area with dual exposure, where the lounge harmoniously integrates with the built-in masonry kitchen, creating a warm and convivial atmosphere. The tall fireplace, a distinctive feature of the home, not only enhances the charm of the space but is also perfectly suited for preparing excellent grilled dishes. A small hallway leads to the well-organized and functional sleeping area. Here we find a bathroom with shower, a study that can easily be used as a small bedroom, and a bright master bedroom enhanced by double windows that ensure excellent natural light throughout the day. The apartment was renovated in 2009 and is currently in excellent condition. Traditional details such as terracotta floors and ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles blend perfectly with more modern features, including wooden window frames with double glazing and an efficient underfloor heating system powered by methane gas, ensuring year-round comfort. The current owner has made excellent use of every available space, including the ceiling heights, creating as many as 3 loft storage areas for personal belongings. A distinctive feature of this former fortress is the bean-shaped condominium swimming pool set within a garden of approximately 1300 sqm, offering moments of relaxation immersed in nature. An ideal solution for those seeking an authentic retreat in the heart of Umbria, without sacrificing comfort and the timeless charm of history.
