2 bedrooms historic apartment, 130 m²

Morlupo, Rome (province)

Morlupo (Rome) in this charming and quiet borough North of Rome and within the walls of the Orsini castle, a unique 120-130 m2 fully furnished self-contained apartment is available for sale.

The apartment, which was totally redesigned a few years ago, was part of a 3-story structure which was built in the early 1900-1920s and is situated in the historical center of this quiet village. 

Its description follows:

up a few steps from the narrow but road is an unexpected short bridge built with bricks and cement plastering many years ago, which will take you to the entrance of the apartment well protected by an iron gate and an old but strong wooden door. You would then enter directly into the ample sitting room with fireplace and a high ceiling with wooden beams; a browstone wall facing you acts as separation from the nearby tv/family room (which could easily be converted into a 3rd bedroom). From this area you walk into the wide fully-fitted and extremely bright kitchen, an additional fireplace and a balcony overlooking the neighbouring houses and the small piazza. From the kitchen area you can also go into a bedroom with many cupboards, drawers and shelves, and 3 windows, all having a very pretty view of the valley below and a newly-redone bathroom with shower. If preferred, a secondary entrance with iron gates leading directly into the kitchen is also available but hasn't been used for many years.

You then walk back to the sitting room from which a short staircase will lead you to the second floor;  to the right and overlooking the sitting room, is a mezzanine/studio with a wooden-boards floor and a dormer window (it can also be converted into as guest-bedroom). The mezzanine could also be used as a smart-working area (Vodafone and TIM are available) and to the left is the master bedroom also with wide windows overlooking the valley, cupboards and shelves and an en-suite bathroom with shower and a small window overlooking the village. 

Additional characteristics are: a short staircase leading to a 20m2 terrace access to which is through a remote-controlled skylight; the terrace has a beautiful and broad view of the valley and the old village as well as of newer Morlupo.

Other features: a wall safe, a laundry/closet room (with washing machine, brooms and cleanings articles) under the staircase, independent city gas for heating, hot water and cooking, Spanish cotto and parquet floors, lots of built-in cupboards, natural light guaranteed by many wide windows and several french-windows (some of which have iron bars including the main and secondary entrances), shelves, bookcases, lots of tv plugs, the TV antenna on the terrace belongs to the apartment, an intercom phone. Almost all the furniture you can see in the pictures are comprised in the sale, some of which can be considered as "antique".There are no regular condominium expenses. Rubbish is collected following a weekly pattern.

Transportation: about 300 yards away is a blu bus stop which will take you to the railway station (about 3 miles away) on the Flaminia Roman road going to Piazzale Flaminio/Piazza del Popolo Rome city centre (South bound) or to the Papal city of Viterbo (North bound).
