Huis te koop - Altavilla Milicia (Italië)

Villa Elio - Altavilla MiliciaIf you don't mind the prospect of a bit of home improvement and want your money to go as far as it can, Villa Elio in the municipality of Altavilla Milicia is a roomy detached home that offers superb potential.Three bedrooms in a generously-proportioned and bright interior120m2 of indoor space is divided between a trio of double bedrooms, a huge living room, kitchen and two bathrooms, all linked by a central hallway. The kitchen and living rooms are especially bright thanks to dual expositions and French windows which connect both to a covered veranda directly outside the home.The bedrooms all have a single window apiece, but all three have enough space to install large wardrobes and all of the other furniture you would need. The pair of bathrooms and extra-large 20,000l water cistern mean that it would be relatively comfortable for up to six people to share the villa at once.Countryside and sea views from the roof terraceOn top of the single storey home, framed by a low wall and accessed by a fixed external staircase, the roof terrace offers beautiful panoramas over the surrounding region. On one side the Gulf of Termini Imerese is in clear view, only a little more than a kilometre away to the north. On the other, steep green hills rise up to become a lovely mountainous nature reserve.The neighbourhood is quietly residential, a little outside the main town and with extra privacy afforded by large gardens, fences and hedgerows.Work to be done, but structurally soundAs you will see from our photography and virtual tour, there is certainly some renovation work which will need to be done on Villa Elio to unlock its full potential, but none of this is at a structural level.The biggest job will be to waterproof the flat roof terrace, and you will also want to update the home's electrical wiring for safety and efficiency. Beyond this there are some more cosmetic changes which a buyer might want to consider as a matter of lesser urgency. We take a more thorough look at these in the these in the full listing on our site.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?

Villa Maria Giovanna - AltavillaOnly 500m from the nearest beach, with sea views from the upper terraces, Villa Maria Giovanna is a very attractive proposition for a family who want a base for the summer, or perhaps a year-round home for an older couple who would like to be able to host their younger relations for regular visits.Convenience and great presentationThe two-storey property is a colourful semi-detached home in the district of Altavilla Milicia, about three kilometres east along the welcoming seafront from the main town and its train station. It doesn't lack privacy, with a wall and hedge screening it completely from its direct neighbour, and the district is a pleasant little area with a mix of holidaymakers and permanent residents.Built as recently as 2010, it is in great condition and doesn't need to have any money spent on it. The terracotta floor tiles, wooden windows and shutters and the lovely hardwood awning that shades the veranda outside the front door are all built well using high quality materials.Plenty of space indoors and outThe ground floor comprises a spacious living room, a separate kitchen, two guest bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower. Upstairs you will find a lovely master bedroom with some great views and a private terrace, a second terrace with a great view of the sea and surrounding hills alike, and another bathroom.The gardens that surround the building on three sides are paved to keep maintenance to a minimum, which could be a great advantage for a buyer who doesn't plan to live there all year. Alternatively it wouldn't take long to return it to the kind of lawn seen outside the house next door. In either case you will be sure to enjoy the verdant Mediterranean greenery that has been planted, including a lovely old olive tree.Good value and a friendly sellerThe house is sold complete with the kitchen, both bathrooms, an air conditioning unit, radiators and boilers. The vendor is motivated to make a deal and will consider reasonable offers on what is already an attractive asking price.For a full description of the property please visit our website Meer weten?
