3 bedrooms apartment, 161 m²

Santa Flavia, Palermo (province)

A practical and spacious three-bedroom home on the Sicilian coast, Appartamento Michele is found in the welcoming fishing village of Porticello, just twenty minutes from central Palermo.


SUN, SPACE AND SEA AIR

The second-floor apartment occupies the top residential level of a small three-unit building, with balconies running along three sides and a large roof terrace for the exclusive use of the buyer. Inside, the layout is generous: three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a storeroom, an eat-in kitchen and a living room with dual exposition that catches light from the south-west and south-east. Ceiling height is 3 metres throughout, and the warm patterned tile floors match the wooden trim for a cohesive, welcoming feel.


A ROOF TERRACE TO MAKE YOUR OWN

Upstairs, the open-air terrace is a highlight. Large enough to accommodate a pergola, outdoor kitchen and seating area, it’s the kind of versatile outdoor space that’s hard to come by at this price point.

With a small adjustment to the front parapet, a partial sea view can be opened up – and the terrace can even be divided to serve two separate units, should you choose to split the apartment for rental income.


PORTICELLO: CHARACTER AND CONVENIENCE

The marina is 300 metres away, the beach 650 metres, and the lovely inlet at Sant’Elia just over a kilometre along the coast. Santa Flavia’s train station is a kilometre inland, with services to Palermo in twenty minutes. The area is rich in archaeology, natural beauty and fresh seafood, yet remains blissfully free of mass tourism.


AFFORDABLE AND READY TO USE

The apartment is in sound condition and will need no urgent work. However, some modernising would definitely bring the best out of it. We recommend redoing the electrical system, bathrooms and windows, but this is reflected in a very appealing asking price. Its generous footprint also makes it possible to divide into two separate units, if you're seeking rental income or a smaller home with a guest flat.

With balconies on three sides, high ceilings, a roof terrace and a fishing village location minutes from Palermo, this is a highly recommendable mid-range purchase with plenty of scope to add value, both indoors and out.
