Historic stone home just 100 meters from the historic center.
NEW ENTRY
District:Martina Franca
Address:Via Marafa
Status:To renovate
Sea distance:Adriatico 25 km - Jonio 35 km
Nearest airport:Brindisi 60 km - Bari 80 km
Location:The home is located on a quiet side street just 100 meters from the center of Martina Franca, offering a private position that remains extremely convenient for all amenities.
Description:Positioned on the raised ground floor relative to the main entrance street, the property benefits from a first-floor elevation on the opposite side, which opens onto a comfortable balcony. This is a charming historic home built entirely of stone, featuring characteristic and evocative star-vaulted ceilings throughout all rooms. The internal layout includes a spacious entrance/living room, a kitchen, a small bathroom, a hallway area, and a generous bedroom complete with its own balcony.
Conditions:The property requires a full renovation to fully showcase its authentic character. Work will include updating all utility systems and replacing doors and window frames, with the opportunity to strip back plaster and expose the original stonework. The original antique patterned cement tiles (cementine) in several rooms are a standout feature and can be beautifully restored. A reconfigured floor plan will greatly optimize liveability: removing the loft and non-load-bearing walls in the hallway and kitchen area will reopen the vaulted ceilings, allowing the kitchen to be moved into the adjacent room with a window, creating a spacious windowed bathroom where the kitchen currently stands, and repurposing the present small bathroom into a storage room. A diamond in the rough in the heart of Martina Franca, ready to be transformed into a charming residence or a boutique hospitality property.
Installations:The property is ready for immediate connection to all municipal utility networks, which are currently inactive.
Outdoor spaces:The property features a double entrance door accessed via a short flight of 5 steps, as well as a private balcony on the opposite side with direct access from the bedroom.
