Casa Piave - Caltavuturo

TWO BEDROOM RENOVATED HOUSE IN SICILY'S MADONIE PARK, IN BEAUTIFUL CONDITION Simply put, one of the nicest renovation jobs we've ever seen in Sicily, Casa Piave is an impeccable example of a restoration job which marries the historic character of this three storey house with every comfort and efficiency. It is sold as seen, fully-furnished and at a fabulous asking price. A LABOUR OF LOVE The current owner, Giuseppe, is a builder by trade and acquired this corner house when it was little more than a ruin. Over seven years he painstakingly turned it into a modern family home, with a balance of practicality and luxury. The jewel in the crown is the covered roof terrace, which not only offers a panoramic view above the rooftops of this lovely little town, but even comes with a fully-fitted outdoor kitchen! STYLE AND SUBSTANCE Inside, the house is divided into three storeys of 50m2 each. The ground floor is a large open-plan kitchen and dining room, divided by a perfect stone archway. This boasts a comfy sofa area around an open fire, and a kitchen equipped with a brick oven, gas cooker and efficient extractor fan. Elsewhere, a pair of bedrooms on the upper floors each has an adjoining bathroom, and the master even features a walk-in closet and balcony. From a jacuzzi bathtub to a 3kW solar panel on the roof, the little touches prove that no effort has been spared here. The house has everything you need to move in tomorrow, and not a cent would need to be spent beyond the purchase price. ON THE EDGE OF SICILY'S FINEST NATIONAL PARK The Madonie hills and mountains rise up from the sea of Sicily's north coast in a dramatic play of green pastures and thick woodland. It is a haven for lovers of nature and outdoor sports. With Palermo and Catania no more than 100 minutes away by car, and the island's attractions from Mount Etna in the east to the ancient Greek temples of Agrigento all within easy reach, This is a location to match the wonderful property.
