6 bedrooms apartment, 300 m²

Mistretta, Messina (province)

A delightful property in the historic center of Mistretta, which is among the largest and best preserved in towns in Sicily. It maintains a character of originality that makes the municipality of Mistretta one of the best known in the province. From the top of its ancient castle, the eye wanders towards the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Aeolian Islands, the snow-capped Etna and the lush greenery of the surrounding woods. Less than half an hour from the coast of Messina, you can reach Castel Di Tusa, Santo Stefano di Camastra and many other places of great tourist, artistic and naturalistic interest.

Pedestrian access to the house is from Via Mercato 1, through an arched passage that leads into a delightful internal courtyard with a water well, still in operation. From here, an internal staircase leads to the three floors in which the building is divided according to the following distribution: two apartments - one on the ground floor and one on the first floor - and a garage, currently partly used as a cellar, in the basement with driveway access from Via Catalani. The internal staircase also allows you to reach a terrace that from the second floor dominates the rooves of the town, offering a unique view.

Both apartments have three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and two bathrooms. The building is free on three sides, being located on the corner between two streets and overlooking a green area and so all the rooms have a wide and bright view; in particular, two of the bedrooms on the ground floor overlook the internal courtyard with the delightful ancient well and with an open view of the equipped green area. The living room on the first floor has a large terrace shaded by a beautiful climbing vine that characterizes many of the homes in Mistretta. The brick building tells the story of the family who lived there, with its original majolica floors, the fireplace in the cellar, the brick well and the details of the period furnishings.

Currently, the two apartments are identified independently in the land registry, as are the cellar and the garage in the basement and therefore can be sold separately.

Among the unique features, the property has a water well with a constant source of natural water, precious in the months when water may be scarce and there is also a 3000-liter tank.

The two floors can also be sold separately, at €85,000 for the ground floor apartment and €105,000 for the 1st floor apartment.
