10 bedrooms historic house, 1300 m²

Città di Castello, Perugia (province)

Just a few steps from the Municipal Art Gallery, we offer for sale an impressive palazzo, whose construction dates back to around the mid-16th century, originally built as the private residence of an important Tifernate family.
In more recent times, the building housed the outpatient offices of the Umbria Local Health Authority (ASL). As a result of this former use, the interior layout requires reconfiguration, depending on whether it will be repurposed for residential or commercial use.
Featuring high, spacious rooms with abundant natural light thanks to the large windows on all façades, original period moldings, and frescoed ceilings, this property is rich in charm and historical significance.
The total surface area of 1,280 sqm is distributed over three above-ground levels, currently laid out as follows:
Ground Floor
Garage/warehouse of 185 sqm, consisting of three bays with cross-vaulted ceilings reaching a height of 5.40 meters, and two large entrance gates.
A third gate opens onto the main entrance hall, featuring a wide stone staircase leading to the upper floors.
Just off the entrance, there is a captivating 40 sqm room with a frescoed ceiling and a central fireplace.
A small inner courtyard and three additional cellars complete this level.
First Floor
534 sqm of space with bright rooms and ceiling heights reaching 4.75 meters.
The floors have been completely redone, featuring exposed wooden beams topped with lightweight concrete slabs.
In the southeast corner, there is a beautiful 64 sqm space with a frescoed ceiling and a fireplace.
Second Floor
A usable area of 384 sqm, with ceiling heights reaching almost 4 meters at the peak.
The floor is directly formed by the roof structure, which was entirely redone in reinforced concrete and internally finished with insulated corrugated metal, which could easily be covered with wood or plasterboard as desired.
On both the east and west sides of this floor, there are two large recessed terraces:
The east-facing terrace (56 sqm) offers a 180° panoramic view over the magnificent Italian gardens of the nearby Palazzo Vitelli alla Cannoniera (home of the Municipal Art Gallery), extending toward the historic city center and the iconic Round Bell Tower of the Cathedral.
The west-facing terrace (33 sqm) provides another 180° view over the bell tower, surrounding rooftops, and the green hills of the Villa Montesca area.
Both the first and second floors require a redefinition of the internal layout, as they are currently divided into numerous rooms using plasterboard partitions.
All necessary systems are present but need updating, depending on the future use and interior redesign.
Importantly, the floors, roof, and façade were all renovated in the early 2000s, significantly enhancing the structural stability and seismic resistance of the building.
