Residence for sale, Gratteri RBV58910

Casa Rosaria - Gratteri A substantial renovation project on one of Gratteri’s main streets, Casa Rosaria is a four-storey townhouse of approximately 220m² with the rare advantage of a private garden in the heart of the village. 220m² of character across four floors the traditionally built stone house is arranged over four levels, connected by a marble-clad staircase in excellent condition. Rooms range from a ground floor entrance with an original stone sink to a first floor chamber carved directly into the rock – a wonderfully atmospheric space. The upper floors offer a kitchen-living area with potential for an open-plan layout, and a top floor with well-preserved chequerboard cement tiles and panoramic views that stretch to the sea. A private garden in the village centre what really makes Casa Rosaria stand out in this part of the world is its rear garden, accessed from the top floor terrace. Private outdoor space attached to a house in Gratteri’s old town is exceptionally uncommon, and it opens up possibilities that most village properties cannot offer – from outdoor dining to a kitchen garden or a quiet retreat under open sky. Solid bones, ready for your vision casa Rosaria needs moderate to thorough renovation. At least one timber floor structure requires rebuilding, the bathroom must be redone, and the roof, electrics and window frames all need attention. The facade, however, is in good order, and the reinforced concrete staircase is sound throughout. A minimum budget of around €40,000 will bring the house into comfortable use; although if you want to make it into a really stylish mix of historic charm and modern comfort you might need to find two or three times that. The Mountains of the Madonie, Half an Hour from Cefalù Gratteri sits around 700m above sea level in the Madonie Natural Park, surrounded by outstanding hiking and mountain landscapes. The ever-popular beach town of Cefalù is only a thirty minutes drive down a winding scenic road, and you can find supermarkets and larger shops along the way in Lascari. For international connections, Palermo’s international airport is ninety minutes to the west. For a full description of the property please visit our website
