Toscana Bagni di lucca Benabbio A fantastic opportunity to buy a well-maintained, substantial and well-built Italian house at an affordable price. All bases are covered with this house. The sellers have a professional surveyor’s report, and the house was rebuilt on the inside during the 1970s. The present owners had a new high-quality oil-fired boiler installed in 2020. This provides full central heating, and hot water, and is highly efficient, and extraordinarily economical. All electrics and plumbing have been checked by local professionals, and any replacements already carried out. The house was fully re-decorated during 2023, and there is a new kitchen arriving during Spring 2025. A wood stove in the wide hallway heats the whole house, without needing to use central heating. The house is admired in the local community and is often heard to be referred to as, La Casa Grande. There is a terrace 13 metres x 1.7 metres, and grand stone steps leading up to the terrace from the piazza, and with views of the chapel and the mountains. The home is filled with sunlight, and warm in winter whilst cool in the summer. All windows are long length, together with traditional internal and external wood shutters, and full high quality double glazing. Another stunning aspect of the house is its high ceilings and unusually spacious living and dining room, at 4.5 metres x 6 metres. In addition, the kitchen is a generous room with space for informal dining. There are two double bedrooms, one of which is a very good size, and an additional bedroom in attic. The attic spaces are substantial, with space to install a second bathroom if desired. There are also three large cantinas, two of which have floor tiles and one of which has full plastering to walls. One of the cantinas is at present used as a summer apartment with stone arch for sitting, opening onto a small patio area, which also has the feature of the beautiful external staircase. With no gardens to maintain, yet having appealing outdoor spaces, this is an idea lock up and leave, or a graceful permanent home, ready to live in, and fully reclaimed by the present owners over 5 years of occupancy.
