4 bedrooms house, 250 m²

Melissano, Lecce (province)

Salento

Among the alleys of the historic center of the town of Melissano, a residence takes shape that tells a story of history and tradition, ready to be reborn through a careful renovation project. The property boasts an illustrious past: it was inhabited by the renowned soprano Gabriella Tucci.
The property extends over a commercial area of more than 250 sqm, on a single level, arranged into 11 generously sized rooms, where airy spaces and natural light are enhanced by high ceilings with star vaults, the truest expression of Salento architecture.
A distinctive feature is the original cement tile floors that embellish every room with different patterns in each space, creating a refined mosaic of colors and geometries that gives the home a rich personality.
The property is entirely in need of renovation and is currently not equipped with any systems. During restoration, it will therefore be necessary to install all technological systems from scratch and proceed with the connection of all utilities, thus offering the opportunity to design the spaces and amenities according to the most modern living requirements.
Adjoining the home, a large garden of about 600 sqm hosts numerous centuries-old plants, providing a private and evocative atmosphere. The outdoor area also offers the possibility of building a swimming pool, further enhancing the property’s potential.
The location is ideal: in a quiet and authentic setting, just 15 minutes from the Ionian coast.
A property with interesting potential, suitable for those wishing to create a prestigious residence or a charming hospitality project, in keeping with tradition and the local context.
