688Village house with terrace; Benabbio, Bagni di Lucca - Lucca

Property description

Property which has not been inhabited since the 50s is in a good state of repair may need some modernizing.

The house is accessed via a small terrace that offers a spectacular view of the valley and the Apuan Alps;

From the terrace one leads directly into the kitchen, a spacious and bright room where we find an original stone fireplace, then we proceed to a sitting room and then the stairwell that leads up to the first floor and down to the basement.

The first floor consists of two bedrooms, both with breathtaking views and a bathroom; at this level we find a wooden staircase that leads to the attic floor.

The basement, which can be accessed both from inside and outside, consists of a large and high single room currently used as a cellar. We have a WC situated directly under the stairs.
The external access to this level is via a beautiful stone archway, where we also find a wood-burning bread oven.

The house is structurally in good condition but needs some internal modernisation but not as much as one would expect of a house that has been un-inhabited for so long. It has potential to be used as a characterful holiday home or even as a permanent abode.

There are many typical details such as wooden beams and rafters, terracotta bricks flooring, the fireplace, etc…. Which could be kept in a renovation project to give the building that rustic flavor characteristic of the Tuscan villages.

Included in the sale is a modest adjacent structure used to house a bread oven, which could become an accessory service area to the house.
