Ground-Floor-House with Panoramic Terraces, Garages, Funds and Independent Spaces for Sale in Cetona, Siena - Tuscany Ref. CET189 In the heart of the historic village of Cetona, in front of Palazzo Minutelli - today the Town Hall and famous for its 19th century frescoes by Antonio Cappelletti - stands this extraordinary residence of approx. 270 sqm, plus a further two-storey unit of approx. 30 sqm with private garden and a further room/study with bathroom, also separate from the main residence, of 20 sqm. . Designed by a renowned Roman architect, the house represents a rare blend of traditional Tuscan architecture and contemporary sophistication. There is a craftsmanship that can be perceived in every detail. The Village Cetona is an ancient Tuscan village of very ancient origins: inhabited since the Palaeolithic, it experienced continuity in the Neolithic, Etruscan and Roman eras. Since 2001 it has been part of the prestigious list of the 'Most Beautiful Villages in Italy'. Its medieval history can still be read in the fortress fortified by the Sienese in the 15th century. The urban structure retains traces of the different eras - from prehistoric origins to the medieval walls. The Residence The entrance to the house leads, on the left, to a first bedroom with bathroom in front, finely furnished, with a large window overlooking the valley and Mount Cetona. To the right is an elegant sitting room with fireplace, a flowery balcony and a cosy reading corner set in a niche under the staircase. . Halfway up the main staircase is a small terrace overlooking Palazzo Minutelli. It is perfect for enjoying the quietness of the village and the beauty of its architecture. Going up a few more steps, you reach the living area: a large room that houses the kitchen and dining room, designed and furnished with fine materials. . The kitchen was designed by a local craftsman, with marble from San Casciano dei Bagni and wall units in precious wood. The dining room is embellished by an imposing fireplace with side benches, the true convivial heart of the house. . This is followed by a large, well-lit reception hall with a period fireplace. From here there is access to a magnificent panoramic terrace, equipped with an electric shading curtain, where a marble table can be found. The terrace overlooks the valley and Mount Cetona - one of the most spectacular views in the whole country. . Every window in the house is a true picture of the valley, and the natural light enhances the warm colours of the Tuscan materials. The entire house is paved in handmade terracotta, which gives continuity, warmth and authenticity to all the rooms. The sleeping area, private and quiet, is introduced by a corridor entirely hand-painted by an artist from Cetona with trompe-l'œil floral decorations. It comprises two bedrooms: a master bedroom with en suite bathroom, and a second bedroom with bathroom in front. Both with attention to detail and with the same view of the terrace. . A cast-iron spiral staircase leads upstairs to another room, intimate and charming, with a private bathroom and panoramic terrace. The main rooms - the sleeping area and the living room - are equipped with air conditioning. Each space is finished with passionately chosen materials such as terracotta, wood, wrought iron, exposed beams and unique pictorial decorations. . The property also includes a detached flat on two levels of 30 sqm, with a private courtyard of approximately 18 sqm, and a further room with bathroom, with its own separate entrance. The property is completed by a large double garage, which is very rare in the historic centre (can be purchased separately, not included in the price). There is also a generously sized fund that can be used as a wellness, fitness or private atelier area. The entire property is equipped with a fibre optic wi-fi system. . A unique dwelling, perfect as a main residence or representative house, in the heart of one of the most charming and lively villages in southern Tuscany.
