2 bedrooms palace, 138 m²

Atessa, Chieti (province)

In the historic centre of the municipality of Atessa (CH), IAD Italia offers for sale a charming property nestled in one of the ancient "rue" (also called "ruelle") of the town, whose origins date back to the 10th century AD.
Entering through the characteristic staircase with low and wide steps of one of the alleys of via Menotti De Francesco, you reach this three-storey building, currently uninhabited and in an excellent state of conservation.
On the first floor, in the immediate vicinity of the entrance area, there is a 9 m2 eat-in kitchen, characterised by the presence of a large, fully functional fireplace.
From this room you enter, through a corridor, a first room of about 10 m2 that the owners had used as a bedroom.
Next is a first bathroom, with 70s-style tile covering, with window, bathtub, toilet and bidet.
At the end of the corridor there is a large 18 m2 lounge, with a small balcony overlooking the main street of the district and from which it is possible to admire, in addition to the ancient gate that in medieval times guarded this ancient village, also the extensive Sangro valley, on which the Municipality of Atessa stands at 435 meters above sea level.
The internal staircase leads to the second floor of the property, which features a further large and bright bedroom of approximately 15 m2, followed by a second bathroom with window and shower.
The real gem of this house is the panoramic terrace which can be accessed from this second floor and which allows you to enjoy the breathtaking view of the valley, up to seeing the sea in the distance (at least 25 km away), while behind it is possible to admire the ancient cluster of houses, all grouped next to each other, in the perfect style of medieval historical centers.
This property also has an additional room located below the first floor, which serves as a cellar. It is characterized by an independent access, overlooking the entrance steps to the alley, by the ceiling with cross vaults and by the presence of a fireplace and a washhouse.
The original 70s window frames are made of wood, in perfect condition, and have a double external aluminum window that guarantees adequate thermal insulation for the seasons.
Atessa, in addition to being a lively municipality of over 10,300 inhabitants, rich in cultural, theatrical and musical initiatives, is also home to the industrial district of Val di Sangro in whose settlements there are large multinational, metalworking, automotive and commercial companies. It is also an agricultural station of the Municipalities of Val di Sangro and Sinello. In addition to the economy linked to agriculture and industry, the tourist vocation has also developed, given that together with other municipalities in the surrounding area it has been included in the cultural district "Terre del Sangro - Aventino", also for its proximity to the sea (Torino di Sangro and Fossacesia), along the "Costa dei Trabocchi", and to the mountains (Tornareccio and the prehistoric mountain site of Monte Pallano).
