10 bedrooms apartment, 204 m²

Collesano, Palermo (province)

Situated in the very centre of Collesano, Appartamento Agnello is in fact two apartments of differing sizes, with the option to combine them in a single very large house, or to renovate the smaller one for resale, rental or use as a guest apartment.
On two floors, the historic structure is blessed with wonderful bones, including exposed masonry, beautiful balconies and some wonderful interior design touches, especially in the upper apartment. Completed by a large storeroom which could be converted into a garage or small commercial premises, this property is a fantastic stimulus for the imagination, a starting point from which to get really creative.


AN ELEGANT MAIN APARTMENT

The upper apartment is on the first floor of a three storey building, with a mezzanine section up a secondary half-flight of stairs. With 90m2 of liveable space it is spacious and well designed. In its current use it is actually a doctor's surgery, but once the medical paraphernalia has been removed and a bit of interior decoration has been redone, you will find a beautiful residential apartment.
A central entrance hall opens onto two large rooms, a bedroom with a view west over the mountains and a living room with a decorated ceiling and a balcony overlooking the street. From this you reach the master bedroom, bright and airy thanks to windows on two sides, one of which connects to a balcony. A small dressing room or study is off this.
The apartment is completed by a bathroom and kitchen on the semi-raised floor above. From the kitchen the views of the surrounding countryside are especially beautiful.


SPACE TO DEVELOP AT STREET LEVEL

The ground floor offers three rooms – a large reception area, an unfitted kitchen and a bedroom with a small en-suite bathroom. It would make a great base for short visits to the Madonie, or perhaps an annexe in which to host family friends who need a little more private space.
Through a separate entrance you can also reach the storeroom. Once a blacksmith's forge, this characterful space is big enough to park a car, but will need some work to reopen a large front door that has been partially bricked up.


A HILLTOP HAVEN

The property could not be more central to the friendly little town of Collesano, where centuries of Sicilian tradition blend and mingle happily with a growing number of international residents. The closest beach is 20 minutes away and the seafront paradise of Cefalù only ten minutes beyond that. The surrounding landscape is a tapestry of green hills and winding country roads.
