Apartment Ciittà di Castello

In one of Città di Castello’s most beautiful and fascinating historical buildings, formerly the noble residence of the Corsi family, who lived there from the 15th century until 1997, luxury apartment for sale. The unit sits on the first floor of the palazzo and houses beautiful halls and three large bedrooms, all enriched with marble elements, original frescoes and unique pieces of furniture.

Due to its peculiarities, the property lends itself well to becoming a private residence or representative dwelling, but could also easily be transformed into a luxurious boutique hotel, B&B or period residence for a sophisticated clientele.

An interesting alternative is the “house-museum” to host a small community or cultural center.

All the necessary services (banks, supermarkets, post office and excellent restaurants) are available in the historic center of Città di Castello, and it is also extremely easy to move between the various centers of the Tiber Valley and beyond: in less than an hour one can reach Sansepolcro, Anghiari, Cortona, Gubbio, Perugia and Assisi.

This prestigious and spacious townhouse laid over three levels is located in the alleys near the main square in the historic center of Città di Castello, a charming town in the northern part of Umbria, along the banks of the Tiber river on the border with Tuscany. Città di Castello boasts all sorts of amenities and numerous places of artistic and cultural interest.

DESCRIPTION OF THE BUILDING

The property covers a portion of Palazzo Vitelli alla Mattonata, and the owner has wisely valorized the property’s history by preserving the façade intact and blending its original features with stone inserts and a lovely wrought-iron terrace dating from the early 20th century.

This townhouse includes an elegant entrance directly from the alley, connected by a walnut staircase to the living room. Here is a half-open fireplace, a half bath and access to the eat-in kitchen with lovely views of the city’s rooftops thanks to a charming little balcony. On the next floor are three spacious bedrooms lit by large windows and skylights. Currently, all the bedrooms feature a color palette centered on light blue. A spacious bathroom is also located on this floor.

A designer staircase, framed by a late 19th-century wrought-iron handrail, leads to the upper floor, a service area for a technical room and laundry room, and the entrance to the small pocket terrace (about 10 m²) equipped with a barbecue and a shell marble sink. From here one has a striking view of the city’s alleys, with a sight that sweeps from the rooftops of the historic center to the surrounding countryside.

In a very central location, just a few steps from the main square of Città di Castello, 120-m² apartment currently used as an office on the first floor of a historic building. The current layout includes a large entrance hall with corridor connected to four rooms and a service bathroom.

For those interested in transforming the property into a residential unit, the conversion could be carried out without the need for major structural alterations with the only constraint being a load-bearing wall centered between two of the three windows opening onto the street.

The large door on the street opens onto a communal hallway with a staircase up to the floor, where the apartment shares a landing with another unit.

The recent renovation (2018) and refurbishment of the main façade was followed inside by the installation of a new condensation boiler and the complete replacement of the plumbing.

The location of the house is easily accessible, being practically at the entrance to the historic center and very close to a public car park (130 m). All the shops and services needed on a daily basis are located in the immediate vicinity and make it possible to experience the city on foot, without the need to take the car for everything.
