2 bedrooms historic apartment, 67 m²

Parrano, Terni (province)

Apartment to renovate in a medieval village, 10 min from the A1 — 67 sq m + cellar 29 sq m — € 39,000


In the heart of the medieval village of Parrano, in Umbria, an apartment of 67 sq m to be renovated with an open view of the wooded valley and a rarity for a historic center: an independent cellar of 29 sq m on the ground floor. The village, certified Cittaslow, is located on the border between Umbria and Tuscany, just 10 minutes by car from the A1 motorway exit and Fabro train station. At € 39,000, a concrete opportunity to create your own home in Italy, customizing it to your taste.

Composition
The apartment is located on the first and last floor of a historic stone building on Via Roma, the main street of the village. It consists of a living room with original fireplace, kitchenette, two communicating bedrooms (typical distribution of historic village houses) and bathroom. Internal heights of 2.78 meters and triple exposure, with natural light throughout the day: on one side, the view of the picturesque Via Roma, on the other, an open and very green view of the wooded valley of Alto Orvietano, without buildings in front. On the ground floor of the same building, with completely independent access from the street, the cellar/storage room of 29 sq m: perfect during the works as a material deposit and, subsequently, for bicycles and e-bikes, trekking equipment or wood for the fireplace - a space almost impossible to find in medieval centers.

Italian details and atmosphere
The building is part of the original fabric of the village, which developed around the castle built around the year 1000. Original fireplace in the living room, centuries-old stone walls and the authentic life of a small Umbrian village just outside the door: the square, the bar, the medieval festivals in summer.

Condition, systems and works
The property is habitable but needs to be modernized - it is not a ruin. It is necessary to foresee: refurbishment of the electrical system, complete refurbishment of the bathroom, replacement of the kitchen, installation of the heating system (currently fireplace, ceiling fans and an air conditioner already present in one room), replacement of the window frames and renovation of plaster and paintwork. No structural work is foreseen: the stone structure with exposed beams is in order and the terracotta floors are largely recoverable. Indicative budget for the works: € 40,000 – 60,000 depending on the level of finish (estimated figure, to be confirmed with a quote from a local company). The administrative situation is in order: the internal distribution is regularly registered in the land registry (update 2018, category A/2, civil dwelling), a clear and without surprises starting point to set up the construction site. The building does not have a lift, as is typical of historic Italian villages. Energy class: G.

Area and distances (by car)
- A1 motorway exit and Fabro train station: 10 minutes (direct trains to Rome and Florence)
- Orvieto: 30 minutes
- Rome and Florence: about 1 hour and 30
- In the village: bar, restaurant and essential services; supermarkets and pharmacy in nearby towns in 10-15 minutes
- Within walking distance: the "Tane del Diavolo", natural caves with thermal springs and an archaeological site, with trails for trekking and ecotourism

Ideal for those seeking an accessible project in an authentic Italian village: a future holiday home to be customized, a pied-à-terre between Umbria and Tuscany, or an investment to be enhanced and included in the circuit of short-term tourist rentals, in an area in growth and well connected to Rome, Florence and Orvieto.
