Villa Orazio - BrucoliHuge detached villaThe three-storey property features four bedrooms of two different sizes, each of which is large enough to be a double if needed. Of course, one could easily become a home office while still giving you a sleeping capacity of six, before you consider adding any sofa beds in the huge living room. These are served by a pair of bathrooms, each with a box shower and a modern suite of fittings.Communal spaces indoors include a very large kitchen-dining room on the first floor, with some lovely exposed stonework on the stairs and dividing archways, and an equally large living room on the top floor, under a gently sloping wooden roof whose beans have been left exposed to give a suggestion of a mountain chalet. Both of these family spaces have been designed with full-wall glazing on the corner which faces down the hill and overlooks the bay below.Recently renovated and in beautiful conditionThe villa was fully remodelled in 2018, and has new windows, roof and flooring. The kitchen is in great condition and offers all the space you could need for food storage and preparation. Gas-powered radiators provide heat throughout the property, and modern air conditioning units are found in all of the larger rooms.The exterior has been designed in a style which blends traditional Sicilian lines with some neoclassical touches, including the Roman arches which partially enclose the deep veranda flanking the first floor. The open terrace on the top floor is also framed by some decorative balustrades. The only area which remains to be finished is the basement room, a space of about 80m2, only partially underground, next to the double garage. This has all of the necessary connections and wiring to be turned into a playroom, gym, workshop or even a self-contained studio flat, but it will be left to the new buyer to make the choice and oversee the work.Perfect for the sea, convenient for the cityThe nearest beach is a beautiful sandy cove which can be reached in just three minutes by car. It is found in a residential district filled with similar properties and mostly inhabited year-round, while the nearest little village, Brucoli, is less than ten minutes away.For bigger and more varied urban infrastructure and cultural attractions of all kinds, Sicily's second-largest city, Catania, is only half an hour away to the north. This includes the large international airport at Fontanarossa, which offers flights to almost every country in Europe. Whether you're making Villa Orazio your home and jetting back to visit friends, or living further north and wanting to visit without wasting any excess time in travel, it's a perfect, well-connected location.For a full description of the property please visit our website
