The property is on three floors that are connected by a wooden staircase.

As you enter the property through an iron gate and through the principal door, there is access to the garage on the ground floor where they is room to park a car and also the technical centre is located here with the boiler.

As we take the first flight of the wooden staircase, we arrive to a large hall that gives access to all rooms on this level. On the first floor we have a large dining room with access to 2 large terraces/patio outside, a living room, a small kitchen with double aspect windows. On this floor there is also access from the hall to a bathroom and laundry, utility room.

From the hall, we also find the first floor external door and from the laundry room there is access to the side of the house and up to the garden.

On the second floor of the townhouse, there are three double bedrooms and bathroom. Two of the bedrooms have access to the balcony area while the other has a double aspect offering stunning views.

From the hall we can find another room that currently is used as a studio but could easily be converted into another bedroom or used as an office. From the door near the studio, we exit the property and head up a few steps to the large garden.

The garden extends to the ancient wall of Cortona and offers fantastic ‘Al fresco’ dining areas on the patio, terraces and in the grass garden below the wall.

On the large patio on the first terrace level of the garden is the small annexe that has a living area, small kitchen and bathroom area all with independent services and could offer the new owner a fantastic summer outbuilding for barbeques or whiling away the afternoon in comfort with a good book.

This property offers many opportunities to the owner as it is in walking distance from Cortona with all it’s cultural and entertainment amenities accessible but far enough outside the centre to be in a peaceful location with car access, fantastic views and a piece of greenery in the town.

With the external doors, one floor of the property could be converted into a rental apartment, therefore giving a small income to this property.
