7 bedrooms villa, 532 m²

Marino, Rome (province)

In the splendid setting of the Castelli Romani, and specifically in the municipality of Marino, particularly linked to the world of viticulture and famous for having hosted the famous Sophia Loren and her husband Carlo Ponti from the end of the 1950s until 1977, who chose to live in a quiet setting away from the spotlight, and a short distance from the nature reserve of Lake Albano, the papal residence of Castel Gandolfo and the Country Golf Club, Christie's International Real Estate-Rome Exclusive - is pleased to offer for sale a prestigious detached villa (cat. A/8) of large size (over 500 m2) with adjoining park, swimming pool, tennis court and outbuilding.
The villa is spread over two levels, internally divided as follows:
- on the upper floor we find a large entrance hall, double living room of over 115 m2 with fireplace and wainscoting and access to a large covered terrace of over 80 m2, dining room, eat-in kitchen with balcony, laundry area, 3 double bedrooms with respective en suite bathrooms, study and another bathroom;
- on the lower floor, reachable via a comfortable terracotta and peperino staircase, we are welcomed by a large living room with dining area with exit to the porch, open-plan kitchen in brickwork with wood oven and reading area with magnificent bookcase with walnut paneling, walk-in closet, bathroom, n. 2 double bedrooms served by another bathroom and master bedroom of approximately 40 square meters with walk-in closet, n. 2 dressing rooms and en suite bathroom including bathtub and shower. On this floor there is also a large heating system serving the entire house.
The elegant villa, built in the Seventies and carefully renovated over the years (the last renovation dates back to 2009), is presented in a classic style characterized by the presence of various decorative elements such as columns, moldings, trompe l'oeil and quality materials such as marble, Tuscan terracotta and peperino. The internal height is 3.00 m and the external covering is in curtain which does not require major maintenance work over time. The existing systems include a photovoltaic system, 45 kW pellet boiler with 300 liter water reserve, thermodynamic panel system for the production of hot water in summer with storage system, volumetric and perimeter alarm system, video surveillance system, hot - cold ducted air conditioning system with Daikin machines and external lighting and automated irrigation systems.
The park surrounding the house of over 5,000 square meters, partly planted with centuries-old olive trees, maritime pines, fruit trees such as lemons, grapefruits, oranges and persimmons and partly paved with porphyry, hosts a regulation tennis court with changing room and showers, a swimming pool of 12 x 6 m (maximum depth 3.5 m) and a large outdoor chessboard in travertine and peperino. There is also a comfortable outbuilding of about 50 square meters composed internally of a lounge with kitchenette, double bedroom, bathroom and storage room.
The property, which is in excellent internal and external maintenance conditions, is designed to be immediately inhabited by two nuclei of the same family (parents-children for example) as the two floors of the house can be completely independent. It is also located in a very panoramic position (the astronomical observatory of Castel Gandolfo is easily visible on clear days) as well as strategic from the point of view of travel to and from Rome, given its immediate proximity to the Via Appia Nuova with which it is possible to reach it by travelling just 27 km.
