2 bedrooms apartment, 104 m²

Soveria Simeri, Catanzaro (province)

In the oldest part of Soveria Simeri, nestled in the Calabrian hills overlooking the sea of the Costa degli Aranci, stands a home that embodies the elegance and memory of a bygone era. Situated in a commanding position, directly overlooking the town's main square (Largo Gaetano Biamonte / Piazza Garibaldi), this property represents a true historical testament: one of the very first stately brick homes built in the village, it originally belonged to the well-known and wealthy Biamonte family, prominent figures who led the community, leaving among their members illustrious figures such as mayors and clerics.

The noble nature of the family is reflected in the grandeur and solidity of the building's structure. Although the façade was plastered over in subsequent decades to conform to the aesthetic standards of the time, the building retains its imposing architectural presence and the magic of its roots, which once featured exposed stonework alternating with evocative entrance columns, still evident today in the adjacent historic stone and wood arch.

Soveria Simeri is a village with a deeply rooted agricultural tradition, immersed in the tranquility and slow pace of hillside life for much of the year, yet ready to awaken and fill with life, color, and events during the summer season. Its strategic location: just 12 minutes from the beaches and the Ionian Sea, it offers a perfect haven of peace just a short distance from the coast and the city.

The first-floor apartment spans approximately 104 square meters. Stepping inside means entering a generously proportioned residence: a wide central hallway distributes the spaces with the classic rationality of period homes. The central living room is warmed by a majestic open fireplace, the true focal point of the home, perfect for recreating the warm, family atmosphere typical of winter evenings. Around it are large, bright bedrooms, each served by a bathroom with a window and large windows leading to the property's most charming feature: a deep and spacious covered terrace. From this balcony, a true outdoor extension of the home, guests enjoy an unobstructed and exclusive view of the main square, a privileged spot from which to observe the unfolding of life in the village.

Featuring a solid reinforced concrete structure and radiator heating, this stately home today presents itself as an extraordinary blank canvas. This is a rare opportunity for those wishing to undertake a renovation and modernization project capable of restoring the splendor and prestige of a piece of local history, transforming it into a prestigious primary residence, a refined vacation home, or a hospitality investment with timeless charm.
