Duplex for sale in Town Centre, Montone, Perugia, Umbria, Italy

Description
This fully restored apartment covers the ground and first floor of a fully restored building nestled in the centre of one of the most desirable medieval towns in Umbria.

Once the home of the Governor, it was directly linked to the adjacent tower that once imprisoned those apposed to ruling parties. The now blocked doorway can be seen in what is called the secret room accessed through a narrow passage off the small courtyard on the first floor.

The ground floor leads directly on to the main Piazza and this huge vaulted room, currently used for entertaining large groups of guests, could easily house a kitchen, dining and lounge area should one wish to increase the sleeping capacity. There is also a convenient WC on the ground floor.

The first floor consists of a small but well fitted kitchen, bathroom, double bedroom and a large light and airy sitting room with all original features and high beamed ceiling. A small courtyard adjacent to the kitchen gives the opportunity to eat outside and as mentioned previously a narrow passage gives access to the secret room, ideal for a gym, workshop, studio or sauna. The restoration was overseen by the architect owner with reclaimed material and attention to detail.

Montone has Restaurants, bars and most, if not all, facilities. Famed for its film festival that Terry Gilliam organises each year Montone is a classical fortified town seeped in history and just a short driver to Perugia airport.
