Casa Rosa is a lovely, terraced house located on the crest of a hill in the small hamlet of Padonchia. Padonchia is a quiet hamlet of houses approx. 1.5 km away from the beautiful medieval hilltop town of Monterchi.
Monterchi, a small Tuscan municipality of less than 2,000 inhabitants, offers restaurants, pizzerias, bars, boutiques, banks, post offices, etc, all wrapped in Tuscan charm. Monterchi is most known for its museum containing the wonderful fresco, ‘La Madonna del Parto’ by the renaissance artist and mathematician, Piero della Francesca, whose mother was from Monterchi.
Casa Rosa is set out over three floors for a total net area of approximately 310 sq m as follows:
- Ground floor: laundry room, wood storage room, 2 large cantinas
- First floor: Apartment 1 – 2 spacious bedrooms, bathroom, large day room, kitchen and panoramic terrace with pizza oven
- Second floor: Apartment 2 – 2 spacious bedrooms, bathroom, large open plan kitchen/diner with living and dining areas and a panoramic terrace
The ground floor has plenty of storage space with cantinas, perfect for storing bikes and outdoor furniture plus space for a workshop. There is a laundry room with a sink, perfect for cleaning muddy boots after a leisurely walk in the lovely surrounding countryside.
The first floor offers 2 bedrooms, a large living room with original stone fireplace, bathroom and a kitchen. The living room provides direct access out onto a lovely panoramic terrace complete with its own pizza oven and plenty of space for a table and chairs for al fresco dining in the warmer months. The bedrooms are spacious and traditional in design, one has a lovely barrel-vaulted ceiling whilst the other offers a more traditional wooden beamed ceiling. The bathroom is divided into two separate rooms, a small room with large basin and mirror which leads into the bathroom with shower, bidet and toilet.
An elegant stone staircase leads to the second floor where there are 2 double bedrooms, both with spectacular views of the countryside, an open plan kitchen/diner, a bathroom and a wet room. As with floor below, there is a bathroom with a shower unit, bidet, toilet and separate sink area. The living room has a lovely stone fireplace and leads directly out onto a smaller but equally charming terrace with mesmerizing views out over the surrounding countryside, an ideal spot to enjoy a glass of wine or a lovely cup of tea.
The property boasts nearly 17000 sqm of land to the rear complete with its own stream. The land is mostly woodland but lends itself to be terraced so as to make the most of it and has plenty f space for a beautiful swimming pool.
Casa Rosa would make a wonderful family home or could be kept as separate apartments with great rental potential.
