Discover the authentic essence of this charming Umbrian farmhouse from 1850, an architectural work of art that retains the charm of the past thanks to a careful and thorough renovation that was meticulously conducted by the current owners in 2004. The original load-bearing brick walls tell stories of a distant time, while the roof, covered with elegant Roman-style tiles, protects an interior rich in characteristic details. Stepping inside the farmhouse, you are welcomed by a warm and inviting ambience, where the inter-floor ceilings, supported by exposed wooden beams, create a rustic and refined atmosphere. On the first floor, the beautiful gable roof adds a touch of grandeur and brightness, making each space unique and suggestive. The antique terracotta floors give warmth and authenticity to each room, evoking a history of tradition and craftsmanship. The brick kitchen, with its antique tile covering and natural stone sinks, is a place where every meal turns into a special experience, a reminder of the culinary roots of this region. The property, an object of great love and careful maintenance over the last 20 years, is today in excellent condition and is therefore ready to move in.
