Appartamento De Amicis is located in the historic centre of the charming medieval town of Sansepolcro, in the Tuscan part of the Upper Tiber Valley.
Sansepolcro is a vibrant town with a population of approximately 16,000 people. It has a beautiful ‘corso principale’ (main high street) with boutique shops and excellent restaurants. The town has all key local amenities plus a open-air swimming pool, beach and regular tennis courts and a gym. There are events and festivals held throughout the year that add to the appeal of life in this lovely town.
Appartamento De Amicis is a property with a great living space plus the added bonus of a cantina/garage on the ground floor and a charming private garden tucked away at the rear of the property, rare finds in the historic centre of town.
The building in which the property is located has three apartments with a shared entrance from street level.
The home is laid out as follows:
- Ground floor: Cantina/ garage
- Second floor: hallway, spacious living room, habitable kitchen, family bathroom, 3 bedrooms, one with en-suite bathroom.
- Third floor: Converted loft space with bathroom
Once through the entrance, a corridor leads to the door to the cantina/garage and to the original staircase in typical ‘pietra serena’ stone which provides access to the three apartments.
The cantina/garage, is approximately 22 sq m and in excellent condition. It has direct street access via double doors plus an internal door. The space has water and electricity and could be used as an office space, gym or simply as a garage which is always valuable to have in the historic town centre.
The staircase leads up passed the entrances to the other two apartments, to a small landing which is where Appartamento De Amicis starts. A door leads to the private garden and stairs lead up to the apartment which is on the second floor and is approx. 110 sq m.
The entrance leads directly into the large living room that includes a bespoke bookcase and beautiful solid wood, herringbone, parquet flooring. The living room has doors leading to the study/third bedroom, to the fitted kitchen with original stone fireplace built in 1943, and to a small hallway with a wood-burning stove for additional warmth during the colder months. The hallway provides access to the master bedroom with wooden floor and ensuite bathroom (with shower), the spacious second bedroom which has characteristic ‘graniglia’ flooring and the main bathroom (with bathtub). The bedrooms, bathroom and hallway have traditional wooden beamed ceilings.
Lastly, from the living room, a staircase leads to the converted loft which has been cleverly transformed to create an extra living space. There is a low beam to negotiate but on the other side is a useful room with a skylight for natural light and a bathroom with shower. The walls and ceiling of the loft have been wood clad with storage spaces created in the eaves maximising the use of the space.
The home is completed by a private garden is approximately 55 sq m, half of which is part of the property and the remainder is given for free use. It’s a wonderful added bonus and a rare find in the historic town centre.
The proximity of the primary school as well as the secondary schools, all within walking distance of the property, makes Appartamento De Amicis particularly attractive for a family with young children.
