Castelletto in centre of Acqui Terme

PRICE 700.000 € // REF 315

This “Castelletto” (small castle) is truly one of a kind, situated in a quiet residential area in walking distance from the historic centre of the roman Spa town of Acqui Terme.

The building is of relative modern origins, dating back to the 1930s. It is fairytale like and has the particular features of a castle; thick stone and brick walls, terraces, loggias and balconies on different levels, a crown-shaped turret which, together with decorative stone elements and capitels complete the look of a Neo-Gothic structure. It is not protected by historical and artistic constraints, which allows you to easily make structural and functional modifications to suit your taste and needs.

The current property has undergone restructuring work; consolidation of the load-bearing walls and the facade, floor replacement, insulation of walls and ceilings and total renovation of the roof. The house is prepared with an internal lift shaft for installation of an elevator.

The residence is currently ready to be completed with electrical and plumbing systems, internal finishes, doors and windows.

The property has large rooms divided over three levels: on the elevated ground floor is a main hallway with a staircase going up to the top floors and down to the basement. There is a lounge with a big fireplace overlooking a large loggia, a kitchen, a living room/study/bedroom, as well as two bathrooms. On the first floor there are two double suites with private bathrooms, balconies and terraces. On the second floor there are two large rooms with private bathrooms, a studio with balcony, a loggia and a terrace. From this level is the access the turret, from which one can enjoy the urban panorama. In the basement there are 4 large cellar/storage rooms plus 3 technical rooms (for central heating etc), of which 2 have external access.

A new outbuilding with free standing columns is constructed at the end of the front garden. This structure holds a parking garage for at least 4 cars plus a long covered porch at the back. The porch leads to the external cellar entrance plus the garden area behind the main house. The back garden enjoys sun all day and there is ample space to construct a swimming pool and pool terrace.

The private garden (ca. 2.700 m2) enjoys a high level of privacy, positioned at a slightly raised level with respect to the main road. The property is situated towards the end of a dead-end residential road.

The property is independent, located in a quiet area in the city centre, in walking distance to all services, shops, weekly market, cafes, bars and restaurants that Acqui Terme has to offer.
