In the historic center of Viterbo, more precisely on Via Cavour, Engel & Völkers is pleased to offer for sale an apartment on the first floor of an ancient historic building, whose earliest traces date back to the 16th century, without an elevator.
Viterbo is a charming city, and this building fully embodies the elegance of old homes, where beauty began with spacious entrance halls decorated with raised marble slabs, vaulted ceilings and wrought-iron chandeliers. Here, time seems to have stood still: living in the historic center is like stopping time and walking slowly so as not to miss a memory or a scent.
Upon entering the building, you find a courtyard with a fountain whose decorations evoke the Renaissance history of a country rich in art and culture. Climbing the peperino-stone staircase, supported by a beautiful wrought-iron handrail, you reach the floor where the apartment occupies the entire space, with its two entrances. The main entrance leads to the private part of the property, while the second, service entrance leads to an area of the apartment once used for guests or service purposes.
The apartment, requiring renovation and customization, extends over 225 sq m and has a regular layout organized around the hallway. It leads to the living area, which includes a dining room, a fully equipped kitchen and a pantry. Through a connecting room there is a first bathroom serving the main rooms. Along the hallway are a first bedroom, which could also be used as a study, a spacious living room and a second double bedroom.
The entire home features large windows overlooking Via Cavour on one side. Exiting the living room, you reach what could be a third bedroom with an interior balcony, a sitting room, a room to be redesigned according to personal taste, with a small balcony, and another bathroom.
The property’s strengths are its generous interior spaces and high ceilings, whose coffered detailing conveys elegance. Its need for renovation is also an asset, allowing the buyer to redistribute the rooms according to personal preferences and bring back to life a home with significant residential potential, restoring the refinement concealed in the cement tiles and door surrounds.
When the door opens, this apartment inspires dreams: it breathes new life and could become a precious home in which to live or spend time in the city center, going downstairs for a coffee in Piazza del Plebiscito or enjoying a delicious gelato at Porta della Verità.
