Gorgeous family home in the old town of Lecce

A gorgeous family home ideally located in the old town of Lecce. It is indeed just a few steps from the Duomo, the heart of Lecce’s historic center, but despite that in a charming and quiet little street, where you can take in the silent and warm atmosphere created by the brilliance of the local Leccese stone while chilling out on its cozy and large terrace.

In Baroque style, the property provides a modern and elegant feel with parquet flooring throughout and a bright and airy feel thanks to the high star-vaulted ceilings. Its strategic location, close to the heart of the town but also to an easily accessible parking area, favors a potential tourist rental business, too.

Access to the property is through a small and fresh atrium which opens to a small room, currently used as a storage room for bicycles, and also provides access to the house located on the first floor. The house comprises a dining area with a small terrace, a living room, a bedroom with en-suite shower room, a further bedroom (currently used as study), a fully equipped kitchen, and a further shower room. A stone staircase leads up to the second floor including a third bedroom with an anteroom which opens onto a large and comfortable equipped terrace where you can enjoy your morning espresso or evening aperitivo.

Last but not least, this stunningly beautiful house boasts a great historical and artistic value as recognized by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities. Indeed, it contributed to its construction the historic architect Mauro Manieri, a well-known exponent of Lecce Baroque.

Rare opportunity to acquire a gem in the center of the beautiful town of Lecce. Don’t miss the chance to visit it.
