Apartment in historic centre for sale in Umbr
Domus Estia is a distinguished residence located on the mezzanine floor of a 17th-century palace, whose entrance hall features a magnificent seventeenth-century fountain adorned with the effigies of a rooster and a lion. The palace formerly hosted the Order of the Knights of Malta, subsequently the Giovannipoli Order, and was finally the home of architect Zampi, who oversaw the restoration of the Palazzo del Capitano del Popolo, one of the city’s most beautiful and admired monuments. Adjacent to the fountain is a convenient and accessible storage room included in the property.
Ascending a few steps, the entrance door opens to a staircase made of local stone leading to two separate apartments. Approximately halfway up the stairs, there is a bathroom with a shower and, next to it, the laundry area. The total commercial area of the property is approximately 175 sqm, with the two apartments currently independent but capable of being reconnected if desired.
The smaller apartment spans a single level and features a spacious living room with a modern, high-end, and functional kitchen, a large master bedroom, and an en suite bathroom, also connected to the living area. The larger apartment, on the same level, comprises a generous open-plan living space with a relaxation area, a modern equipped kitchen, two bedrooms (one master and one double), and a bathroom finished with luxury fittings and a shower.
All main utilities are connected and operational. Municipal water supply, methane gas, and internet are connected and fully functional.
The property was completely and meticulously renovated in 2019 using high-quality materials and finishes. The floors feature hexagonal terracotta tiles, the kitchens are of excellent quality, as are the bathroom finishes and the many carefully crafted details. The windows are made of chestnut wood with double glazing and mosquito screens, and the entrance door is armored. Both apartments are equipped with underfloor heating and air conditioning.
The property is suitable for multiple uses. It can serve as a primary residence, with the option to combine the other unit, or it can be an attractive investment for the holiday rental market. Alternatively, it offers the possibility to live in it while simultaneously generating rental income.
Domus Estia is located in the historic center of Orvieto, near one of the city's main squares and adjacent to the main street. The A1 highway tollbooth is approximately 5 km from the historic center, as is the train station, accessible via funicular. The city is rich in services and cultural activities throughout the year. Thanks to its proximity to Rome (about 1 hour) and Florence (about 2 hours), Orvieto is an ideal place to live and serves as a perfect base to explore the stunning surrounding territory.
