3 bedrooms historic house, 164 m²

Pollenza, Macerata (province)

Fully renovated historic townhouse around 300 years old situated in a peaceful cobbled road in the centro storico of Pollenza, a typical hilltop village in the rolling hills of Le Marche.

The charming and spacious home retains all the main original features, including original beams, cotto ceilings and marble staircase. Fully restored including latest seismic protection and made attractive for modern day living by opening up some of the living space, adding modern and beautiful kitchen and bathrooms and most rooms are air conditioned. Whilst the municipality requires the street facing facade to be faithful to the original to preserve the centro storico atmosphere, permission was granted to make the the rear of the house more suited to today's living style. All the rear windows were opened up to french doors leading to newly installed balconies sympathetic to the style and history of the house, and a large section of the rear roof was opened up to provide a large and sunny roof terrace with spectacular views east towards Macerata, other local hilltop towns, the beautiful Le Marche countryside, Monte Conero and distant sea views. The roof terrace comes complete with a bijou sun room boasting floor to ceiling full width sliding doors for those chilly months to enjoy the crisp sunshine and beautiful views.

A benefit of the village loacation is that despite having those divine panoramic views for miles in the distance, you only have to pop less than 30m to the end of the road to the main square where you will find all the usual amenities of a small town, including supermarkets, pharmacy, bars, post office etc.  

The house is set over four floors. On the ground floor there is a very spacious entrance hallway and large utility room with ample storage space and a separate entrance from the road.

The marble staircase with traditonal wrought iron banisters leads up to all the other floors of the house up to the roof terrace and is capped with a rooflight so light spills down into the house.

On the first floor there is a very large opened up space fitted with a high quality kitchen, and continues through to the living and dining area with french doors opening onto one of the four rear balconies with views over the rooftops to the local hills.

There is another large living room with another balcony and connecting door. The floor is completed by a bathroom with bath.

The second floor has three spacious bedrooms, two with balconies and ensuite bathrooms. There is another full size bathroom with shower on this floor. 

The top floor has some storage space and the roof terrace and sun room.. The house also has a satellite dish capable of receiving international TV stations.

This house comes complete with the majority of the furnishings, including a double and king size beds, sofas, dining table and chairs and miscellanous other items.
