LECCE
In the heart of the historic centre, a few steps from Piazza Duomo, we offer for sale an elegant historic building with local architectural features which are typical of the early 1900s.
The building has a surface area of over 2000 sqm in total (of which 1650 sqm are covered, 360-sqm of roof terrace, 150 sqm of garden, 60 sqm of balconies and terraces) arranged over three levels above ground and cellars in the basement, as well as a small commercial space facing the street.
The building overlooks Piazzetta Panzera which takes its name from the former member of Parliament and Mayor of Lecce and it also was his residence; in fact, on the facade there is a commemorating plaque.
A large entrance hall, partly uncovered, introduces the elegant stairwell which leads to the two apartments on the first floor; both consist of large halls with star vaults up to eight meters high, kitchens, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, various hallways, pantries and laundry rooms; both also have large terraces and balconies overlooking both Via Palmieri, right in the heart of the historic centre of Lecce, and the internal garden of exclusive property, which is reacheable both from the terrace and from the cellar that connects it to the main entrance hall.
The apartment on the mezzanine floor consists of an entrance hall, four large rooms, kitchen, bathroom and closets, also characterized by high star vaults and mainly overlooking the garden.
On the second floor, which is reachable from the apartments on the first floor by internal stairs, there are two large attic rooms located on the roof terrace, one of which still has the original ceiling from the time of construction in wood and bamboo slats covered with ancient tiles.
The property is in excellent structural condition, thanks to the continuous maintenance work carried out over the years and it lends itself well to being used both as a prestigious private residence, a representative office for companies and institutions, and as a high-level tourist accommodation facility.
Viewing is highly recommended.
