5 bedrooms house

Arpino, Frosinone (province)

Casa degli Artiste 

Just outside Arpino's historic centre, in the 'contrada' known as Collecarino, the sweet hills, Casa degli Artiste is a stunningly designed 4-5 bedroom,  4 bathroom property.  

Built for the present owners in the 80's by master-builders, the house has many thoughtful features - all expertly designed and set out by the exacting artist owner. 

The ground floor hosts the main living spaces, while upstairs, the first floor has another apartment, complete with kitchen, living spaces & bedroom.   

The eat-in kitchen on the ground floor comes complete with a Tuscan open fire grill, and has french doors that lead out to the beautiful terracotta paved terrace, from where you can overlook the lovely gardens, the olive grove and admire the stunning views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.

The double height living room also has access to this gorgeous outdoor space, and features large picture windows, ensuring the views outside are with you constantly.   Apart from town gas central heating and double glazed windows, the living room has a modern open fireplace, that cleverly sits as a centrepiece in the room, creating a small room behind it, currently in use as a sewing room. 

Custom-made cherrywood bookshelves have been neatly inlaid into the wall of the staircase that rises to the self-catering apartment. 

The ground floor bedrooms are really quite separate to the living areas.  Access to these is from either what is the homes main front door, or a wide corridor that runs to the back of the living space, and this also leads to a drive-in garage - no need to be wet on a rainy day! 

There are three large bedrooms, each with built in cabinetry and wardrobes made from solid cherry wood, and each room is bright and airy, with lovely views of the garden. Another room is currently set up as a study, and features many custom-made built-in bookshelves. This room could easily become another bedroom should you desire it. There are three spacious bathrooms on this floor. 

Upstairs, the self-catering apartment is tiled in terracotta and features a charming muratore built-in kitchen, as well as a fireplace. The living space here is open-plan, and theres plenty of room for both a dining area and lounge room.  There is one large bedroom on this level, as well as a bathroom and various storage cabinets. 

The gated and fenced gardens are very well laid out and maintained, featuring many mature fruit trees, and decorative ornamental plants, as well as a gorgeous little olive grove.   Apart form the drive-in large located within the home itself, there is also a series of garages and storage rooms, ensuring everything in this beautiful property has its own place.
