In case you find the castles I’ve been sharing lately a bit…overwhelming I wanted to share this charming, adorable home in the village of Salento with you because you can get oodles of charm and incredible original details in something way less pretentious. And in this case for only €450,000.
Typical Salentine “a corte” house, the result of the recent conservative renovation of three small residential units that has led to the creation of two potentially unifiable homes sharing an entrance courtyard and a lush garden at the back. The interior spaces are well organized, featuring a spacious living room with an open kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom with a small ante-bathroom, a small toilet, and an external corridor leading to the flourishing orchard. The other unit has a double entrance, one into a large lounge topped by the characteristic star-shaped vault and the other into a welcoming room with a barrel vault, two bedrooms, and two bathrooms. A stone staircase leads to the terrace level, where a loft with a laundry bathroom has been created, currently designated as a guest room. In the kitchen, the ancient fireplace stands out, and the living space directly connects to the back garden facing west, linked to the adjacent orchard by a wide gate. The garden is equipped for pleasant outdoor stays with a gazebo, barbecue area, and pizza oven. On the lower level of the residence, the two ancient cellars have been restored and are easily accessible from the garden. For sale via Sotheby’s International Realty – Italy.
