Description
Nestled within the picturesque embrace of the Italian countryside, this rustic country home is located on Strada Molino Nuovo in Fontanellato, a charming part of the Emilia-Romagna region. As a busy real estate agent with an international focus, I’m genuinely thrilled to present this property to prospective buyers and expats looking to explore the less trodden paths of Italy, a nation known for its rich culture, historic cities, and culinary delights.
Fontevivo and Fontanellato are small, serene towns that hold the essence of traditional Italian living. You're not too far from big city adventures if you fancy, with cities like Parma just a short drive away. Parma is famous for its art, architecture, and of course, its food—think Parmesan cheese and Parma ham. In this region, the climate is typically continental, with hot summers perfect for soaking up the sun and cool winters ideal for cozying up by a wood stove.
This 193 square meter home is designed over two levels, characteristic of many country homes, providing a spacious yet welcoming feel. Entering the property, you're greeted by a delightful small corridor. It's typical of houses in this area, leading you into a roomy kitchen, a genuine hub for cooking and dining with loved ones. On the other side, a cozy living room awaits, which is adjacent to another living space. The potential here is limitless—a creative mind could effortlessly combine these spaces to craft a grand living area perfect for hosting or family gatherings.
Moving through the ground floor, a hallway connects you to a well-placed bathroom, a crucial element for any family home. There’s also a cellar on this level—imagine storing vintage wines from the local vineyard or your own homemade produce.
Upstairs, the second floor does not disappoint. It features a central corridor leading to four bedrooms, each providing a distinct atmosphere. There are two large rooms perfect for double beds, a single room, and another generous double which grants access to an unfinished attic. With high ceilings reaching about 3 meters, this attic is a blank canvas, eagerly waiting for someone with a vision to transform it.
The property isn’t without its unique Italian charm. True to form, heating is primarily via wood stoves—think significant energy savings that effortlessly wrap you in warmth during those cooler months. The property enjoys abundant natural light, thanks to its optimal exposure and freedom on all four sides.
