Property description
THE HOUSE OF THE OLD POST OFFICE - MONTEACUTO delle Alpi
You really have to want to go to MonteAcuto, you really have to go there on purpose.Because Partly because you can't "pass" there to go to the village afterwards: the road ends there.Partly because the road that takes you there is really uphill and a bit winding.
What I can tell you is that you MUST go to MonteAcuto.
Why you MUST Because MonteAcuto is a pearl, a diamond with the church and the bell tower positioned on the top of the mountain and the town that develops from there on a "saddle" of ridge, a narrow and long agglomeration of humanity set in a frame of green woods.
With its few tightly packed houses, its narrow streets that open into hidden, intimate and reserved squares, MonteAcuto reminds me very much of that town built on tuff in upper Lazio, Civita di Bagnoregio, you know
The feeling I get crossing the village is just this: intimacy, confidentiality, protection.
A bar, a grocery store where you always find everything and a nice restaurant.That's all you need for an enchanted, fairy-tale village...
Here, right next to the square with the fountain, in one of the most panoramic places in the town, there was also a post office which is now abandoned.
In its place is the tavern that is part of the house I'm telling you about today.
The house of the old post office is a three-story house obtained precisely from the old post office and from the "director's apartment" who lived above it.It is a ground floor house with the exception of the kitchen area whose floor covers the vaulted passageway that leads to another small paved square...
I enter through the door which was a waiting place for lovers impatient to collect the letter from their beloved or, much less prosaically, from all those citizens who reluctantly went there to pay the stamp duty...
On the right I have the tavern, beautiful and spacious with a nice sofa, two windows and terracotta floors, on the left there is one of the most useful rooms in the house: the closet with sink and LPG gas boiler.Under the stairs there is a clever toilet.
Right in front of the door is the staircase that takes me to the first floor.
I go up the steps and enter the living area: the windows are all open, the curtains diffuse a beautiful light and you can feel the coolness of the morning air.I can't resist, I look out the super panorama window! "I wonder how nice it will be upstairs.(see the first photo)"
To the right I have a nice living room with a large white corner sofa and a working fireplace heater.
On the other side there is the dining room with a large table, a wall cabinet with lace and old ceramics and further on a wonderful preserved and enhanced fireplace that gives a fine display of itself.
From here I go up three steps and go over the underpass: wooden floor, custom kitchen, stone sink and.marvel of the mountains a wood-burning bread oven.You read that right, an in-house alloy oven for making pizza and bread!
I go up yet another flight of stairs and enter the sleeping area: two splendid bedrooms, one with three beds and one with a double bed, a large and beautiful bathroom and another small bathroom that cannot be more beautiful "serving" the dressing room.
It will be that Monteacuto is particularly suggestive, it will be that the house is full of well-finished and detailed details, it will be the tranquility and exclusivity that I can really say that I like this house.
What I would do with it: the advice of the certified home stager (me)
I would do absolutely nothing in this house.It's perfect like this!
