2 bedrooms apartment, 90 m²

Volterra, Pisa (province)

This is NOT a modern apartment.
It is not standard, it is not predictable, it is not mundane.
The rooms have irregular measurements, the floor plan is an expression of the imagination of hundreds of years and generations of owners who have modified, added to, and changed the original floor plan of an ancient, stately building in the historic center of Volterra.
Access, which is quite convenient, is from a large common courtyard that sets the building back from the street course, although it results in very little traffic because we are in the ZTL zone, accessible only by residents and authorized.
Door of the building followed by manicured hallway and then the security door that opens the apartment itself. Large entrance hall - hallway that gives access to all the rooms of the house.
Two bedrooms with ornate ceiling and shared balcony, easy to guess that originally the two rooms formed a single room.
Large bathroom with shower, convenient storage room that also accesses a cellar room located on the lower floor.
A double living room with a very nice vaulted ceiling leads to the eat-in kitchen, elevated and very bright, thanks to a window over 1.50m high.
The lucky buyers of this particular apartment will be called, through a few interventions however enclosed within the scope of maintenance/modernization, to enhance the great potential of this "gem." Creativity and imagination will allow to create a unique and special space, for a couple or a small family, residents or to allocate the property for tourist rentals. nn Living in Volterra offers a unique experience that combines ancient history, rich culture and breathtaking natural beauty, all framed in the tranquility of the Tuscan countryside.
