Calatabiano, Catania, Sicily, Italy

An elegant villa dating back to 1900, recently extended by a new floor in 2022, it offers a perfect mix of historic charm and modernity. Spacious living space on the ground floor and a large terrace on the upper floor allow the owners to fully enjoy the surrounding panoramic views. It is possible to make use of the residual cubage, providing multiple opportunities for additional customisation. The upper part, already completed and habitable, stands out for its large, bright spaces and two bedrooms, guaranteeing comfort and functionality. The latest generation energy system ensures efficiency and energy savings. Although the ground floor requires finishing touches, it is designed to accommodate cosy residential spaces. The property also boasts a generously sized cistern in the courtyard and a farmhouse suitable for conversion into a garage, offering additional potential for the creation of a swimming pool and parking space. The ample land surrounding the house, cultivated with tropical plants such as avocados and mangoes and citrus fruits such as oranges, lemons and mandarins, provides privileged access from the adjacent state road, a connecting route to Mount Etna and Taormina, which offers, in front of the house, direct public transport to Catania centre. A unique opportunity for those seeking a home with character and the possibility of customisation in a historic setting.
