Sansepolcro, Arezzo, Tuscany, Italy

Palazzo di Piero is located in a historic palazzo dating back to the Renaissance period, in the heart of the medieval town of Sansepolcro, in the Province of Arezzo. Sansepolcro is a charming medieval Tuscan 'borgo' with a rich history, on the border with Umbria and not far from Le Marche. The town has some lovely shops, excellent restaurants, bars and a lovely outdoor swimming pool for the hotter months of the year.

Palazzo di Piero is on one of the most distinguished streets in the historic centre, only a short walk from the main piazza.

The building consists of a total of 3 residential units and has an imposing central stairwell with steps in 'pietra serena' stone, which provides access to the various residential units in the building.

The property offered for sale consists of 2 of the 3 residential units, one, smaller apartment on the first floor and a larger one on the main floor of the building.

Apartment 1
The first apartment is set out over 2 floors for a total area of approx. 90 sq m with access both via the stairwell of the building and directly from the street making it independent and versatile. The apartment consists of the entrance, cellar with laundry area and storage room on the ground floor and living room with direct access to the main stairwell of the building, kitchen with a large original stone fireplace and spacious pantry, large bedroom and bathroom on the first floor. The rooms all have wood-beamed ceilings and sought-after original terracotta tiles.

Apartment 2
The second apartment is set out over a total of 240 sq m including the cellars and loft space.  The apartment is on the main floor of the palazzo (what is known as the 'piano nobile' in Renaissance buildings) and benefits from elegant rooms with high ceilings with exposed wooden beams, original terracotta floors and large windows making the rooms very bright and spacious.

From the main entrance of the palazzo on the ground floor, a hallway offers access to the imposing stairwell but also to the cellars and storage rooms, one of which also has direct access (not large enough for a car) from the road.

The entrance to the apartment is on the first floor via a solid wood door surrounded by an impressive stone portal.  There is a central hallway that provides access to the various rooms, a large living room with an extremely desirable terracotta wood-burning stove, 2 bedrooms, also equipped with terracotta stoves, a kitchen with glass wall separating the cooking area from the dining area, a spacious pantry and the bathroom.

The attic above offers some very interesting spaces that can be adapted for use in various ways as they all feature high ceilings and windows.  One of the rooms has a mezzanine level cleverly transformed into a study, while another has been converted into a large bedroom.

With its distinguished architecture and enviable location, Palazzo di Piero could be further improved with renovation making it into a truly unique home.
