Just outside the historic centre of Oria, we offer for sale an ancient town house on two levels - ground floor and first floor - plus basement and panoramic roof terrace.Situated at the corner of two streets, this property comprises two independent units, each with its own entrance, but currently connected internally, offering flexibility of use and potential for customisation.Ground FloorThe ground floor presents itself as a typical period house, with large vaulted rooms and perfectly preserved original cementine tiles (in three of the five rooms). The rooms follow the traditional layout of the period, with a spacious entrance hall with storage under the stairs, two intermediate rooms, a kitchen/dining room with the characteristic fireplace, and a large rear room, formerly used as a garage/storage area, where the bathroom is also located. In total, the ground floor has a net area of approximately 108 sqm. In addition, there is a basement, accessible through a large hatch in the dining room, consisting of a room of approximately 20 square metres with a star vault ceiling and a useful height of 2.10 metres.The first floorThe first floor can be reached by a separate staircase with its own entrance from the street or through a door in the entrance hall of the ground floor apartment. This level offers approximately 80 square metres of net surface and has a simpler finish, with concrete floors and whitewashed walls. The unit consists of four slightly staggered rooms, with a large fireplace/kitchen in the main room and a balcony overlooking the street. A further room, also with a fireplace, completes the layout. A ladder leads from the main room to the panoramic terrace, from which there are wonderful views of Parco Montalbano and the medieval castle of Oria.Renovation projectThe entire property needs complete renovation, including the restoration of old utility connections, except for gas, which is to be applied for. This historic property offers a unique opportunity to create a personalised home that combines the charm of the past with modern comforts.
