Stately residence with turret, panoramic terrace and private garden, just steps from amenities and from the Val d'Orcia, for sale in the heart of Sarteano. In the charming village of Sarteano, at the junction between the Val d'Orcia and the Valdichiana, stands this stately villa of 339 sq m/3,649 sq ft, an independent residence combining the convenience of the town centre with remarkable privacy. Freestanding on all four sides and surrounded by a private garden of 494 sq m/5,317 sq ft, the property stands out for its late Liberty-style architecture and the majestic panoramic terrace atop the turret, offering a spectacular view over the town's medieval fortress, the Tuscan hills and Monte Cetona. Located a short distance from local amenities, including Sarteano's thermal swimming pools and the campsite, and also just a short drive from Lake Trasimeno, Italy's third-largest lake, the villa is in excellent condition. This characterful residence is arranged over four internal levels connected by a dramatic staircase with a wrought-iron railing. On the ground floor, past the entrance protected by a stone-and-iron gate, on the left is a portico and on the right a mezzanine garage connected to the interior of the building. The ground-floor living area has terracotta floors, a kitchen with direct access to the garden, a double bedroom, a bedroom/study and two bathrooms. On the first floor there is a sitting room with a large terrace and a further reception room with terrace, enhanced by a hand-decorated brick fireplace and featuring exposed wooden ceiling beams and terracotta "mezzane" tiles. The floor also includes a kitchen, a hallway, two spacious double bedrooms and an elegant bathroom with tub and shower. Going up to the second floor, the attic space comprises five rooms currently used as loft rooms, with a large hallway used as a study with laundry/bathroom. Finally, the third floor houses the spectacular panoramic rooftop solarium terrace, offering a 360° view over the medieval fortress and the entire village of Sarteano. Outside, the well-kept garden features ornamental plants, a charming fountain with goldfish, a stone-finished cistern and a tool storage shed equipped with a computerised irrigation system. The property is completed by a wooden gazebo used as a storage room/carport, used as a greenhouse in winter.
