TOWN HOUSE WITH TERRACE, Cortona, Italy

In Cortona’s historic town centre and just a couple of steps away from the city’s central piazzas and Via Nazionale, a genuinely welcoming and well laid out second floor apartment (70 sqmts) with south facing terrace and views out over the Valdichiana.

The apartment consists of large entrance hallway, spacious and light living room with hand decorated walls and a functioning wood stove, ample, well designed kitchen, two bedrooms, one bathroom (with bathtub) and a useful storage space.

There are traditional exposed wooden beams and cotto laid floors and the general ambience is one of light and comfort.

‘La piece de resistance’ is of course the terrace which is 11sqmts – so big enough to dine out on - and from which one can enjoy wonderful sunsets, firework displays (at New Year) and quiet, moments in which to ruminate peacefully.

The terrace, somewhat compromised by the possibility of peeking neighbours, is accessed both from the kitchen and the living room.

To make this apartment even more interesting, on the ground floor there is a large, renovated room with a beautiful, antique wooden ceiling with tiny private internal courtyard. For the wine enthusiasts it would make, a great wine cellar and/or the perfect place to hang out and do some serious wine tasting.

All utilities are attached and the apartment has been pre-disposed for air-conditioning.
There are 3 other units in the building and no condominium fees.

This apartment has all the requisites for being a perfect long term investment and would be easy to rent out in the summer months given its central location.
Definitely worth viewing.

About Cortona International

Cortona International looks forward to introducing you to the area: to the town of Cortona itself, but also its surrounding countryside which ranges from rural and peaceful mountainside, to classic hillside and to cultivated farmland areas, all of which abounds with olive groves, vineyards and spellbinding views. By specialising in this small niche of Tuscany, not only does Cortona International ensure a trouble-free purchase, but we are also able to offer a host of post purchase services which allow us to take care of your interests from the day you buy until the day you may choose to sell.  

In a unique collaboration, Cortona International offers its clients a team of English speaking professionals whose individual strengths provide specialist knowledge in all aspects of buying or selling a property. We also offer a post-purchase property and rental management service for international buyers who may be absent for part of the year.

SURVEYS

• We do our UTMOST to do pre-marketing checks on our properties in order to ascertain their compliance status.
• This does not necessarily mean they are compliant (many owners are resistant to regularising their properties until they have a firm offer), but it does mean we have a complete picture for you, know what the owner must do in order to obtain compliance and the timelines in which this can be done. 
• A survey of your own should confirm our findings.

CONVEYANCING

• We work together with the registered Italian notary regarding the preparation and drawing up of all and any contracts. 
• English translations and/or an interpreter are provided.
• All money deposits are held in escrow by the notary until completion.

VIEWINGS

• We collaborate with international and local agencies in the area and can organise and accompany you on viewings of properties also listed by them.  This is done on a split commission basis and at no extra cost to you.

DOCUMENTATION

• We will supply you with all paperwork pertaining to a property when you view it. 
• We will also calculate all costs relative to the purchase (notary fees, purchase taxes etc…), future council taxes and overheads and, in advance of any commitment to a purchase, complete estimates for any works you might wish to do. 

POST-PURCHASE SERVICES

• We offer, together with our partners, a full range of post-acquisition services:  General caretaking & maintenance; organisation of projects & permissions, renovations & small building works and a rental management service for people wishing to rent out their properties.

The agency is registered at the Chamber of Commerce in Arezzo and has been a member of FIAIP (Federation of Professional Italian Estate Agents) since 1997.
