Villa Chiaretta

PRICE 995.000 € // REF 308

This charming villa is situated in minutes walk from the vibrant village of Costigliole d’Asti with all its amenities; shops, schools, banks, bars, restaurants and weekly market. The house was totally refurbished some 20 years ago and recently decorated. The house is divided in two living units; the main house plus an annex with separate entrance and a terrace.

The main house is on 3 floors and consists of a good size kitchen with open fireplace and direct access through two terrace doors to the outdoor covered patio area with a round stone dining table seating 8 - 10 people. Next to the kitchen is a formal dining room and from there you enter the cosy library room with its open fireplace, built in bookshelves and sofas. The library has views and access to the back garden and is an oasis of tranquility. Further on the ground floor is a double bedroom with en-suite bathroom and small extra bedroom/storage room. There is a shower bathroom off the entrance hallway. A modern staircase leads directly from the hallway up to the main sitting room on the first floor. There is also a direct connection from the hallway to the annexe making the use of the house and annexe very flexible.

A second staircase leads from the ground floor up to the two double bedrooms on the first floor. Both rooms have en-suite bathrooms and balcony doors. The master bedroom has a small balcony which makes it possible to enjoy the undisturbed views from the bed. The attic/mezzanine over the master bedroom is furnished with fitted wardrobes and shelving units and is used as a small study. The other bedroom is very charming and has a small mezzanine with a mattress for relaxation.

The main living room on the first floor has parquet floors, high ceiling with wood beams, a modern wood burning fireplace and panoramic windows with sliding doors leading out to a covered terrace with views over the garden, pool and the beautiful countryside. The red bedroom upstairs has a terrace door leading out to this same terrace. The perfect spot to enjoy the sunset!

There is a big wine cellar with vaulted brick ceiling underneath the main house. The cellar is fitted with a small kitchen and bathroom making it ideal for hosting candle light dinners and wine tastings.

The annexe consist of two double bedrooms, two bathrooms, a sitting room and a kitchen. Both the kitchen and sitting room have terrace doors leading out to the garden. The annexe has separate entrance doors leading in from the garage area.

The pool area is on a level right below the main house and has great views over the garden and countryside. At the end of the pool terrace is a covered terrace with a summer kitchen and big dining table. The perfect space for lazy summer lunches in the shade. The garden is mature, very well kept and from here you have great views over the vineyards, rolling hills and the alps.

There are two electric gates to the property; one leads to the garage area with parking for 4 cars. There is a separate room with bathroom under the main garage. This room was planned to be used as a gym, but needs some final touches before use. It has big windows towards the garden and can make a very nice addition to the property when finished. The other entrance gate is on the other side of the main building and leads in to the garden in front of the main kitchen area. The garden is fenced all way around.

The property also has its own small barbera vineyard (ca. 1.800 m2), on the right hand side of the house and garden. It is currently tended by a local farmer.

This is a turn key property in a great location. Ready to welcome new owners!
