Detached house for sale in Via Alpe, Pieve Santo Stefano, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy

Casa del Ruscello is in the district of Pieve Santo Stefano but is closer to Sansepolcro which is less than 15 minutes away by car (about 8 km). Sansepolcro is a charming medieval town in the Tuscan part of the Upper Tiber Valley, in the province of Arezzo.

Sansepolcro is a vibrant town with a population of approximately 16,000 people. It has a beautiful 'corso' (main high street) with boutique shops, bars and excellent restaurants. The town has all the key local amenities plus cinemas, an open-air swimming pool with water slides, tennis, beach volleyball and padel courts and gyms. There are events and festivals held throughout the year that add to the appeal of life in this lovely town.

There is also a wonderful restaurant serving traditional Tuscan cuisine only 600 m from the house.

The property is located off the main road along a quiet country lane and consists of the main house and a useful outbuilding.

The house is a traditional stone build with plastered walls and is set out over 2 floors for a total of approx. 190 sq m, as follows:

Ground floor: Entrance lobby with bathroom and an arched doorway leading to the living room, a spacious room with ample space for entertaining that includes a welcoming fireplace and the staircase leading to the first floor. The living room leads directly onto the dining room and then, lastly, to the kitchen with small pantry and doors leading out to the garden.
First floor: Spacious hallway with 4 bedrooms including one with an ensuite bathroom, charming loft room and family bathroom.
The ground floor boasts large windows and doors that open directly into the garden, where a well-maintained outbuilding stands. This versatile structure offers ample space for parking vehicles and includes a smaller storage room. The outbuilding has great potential for transformation into a gym, studio, or pool house (should a pool be added to the garden) or any other functional space that a new owner might envision to enhance their new home.

The property is set in approx. 1.3 hectares of land and has a gated entrance and fenced garden. The garden is set on a slope with mature trees providing welcome shade in the hot summer months. Towards the end of the garden, a gate leads to a bridge which sits over a lovely stream and leads to the remaining land. The stream provides a wonderfully soothing background noise around the home and is perfect for a refreshing dip to cool off during the warmer months of the year.

The property was restructured in 1980 but now requires a complete renovation to create a beautiful family home. The house was originally a stone building that was later plastered so it would be an exciting project to bring it back to its former traditional look.

Casa del Ruscello offers a delightful ambience, ripe with the potential to become your dream home.
