ID-Casa Facchinelli
Noted Terraced Town Home with two gardens, just outside the walls of Lucca with two gardens.
This property used to be part of the Count Fantinelli's Country Estate and was surrounded by countryside.
Since then the city of Lucca has grown up around the house making it a town house.
The 'piano nobile' is on a raised ground floor with a magnificent sitting room. It is possible that there are still attachments for a kitchen in the main room as this was originally where the kitchen was. Off this room are two large bedrooms and a shower room.
Interestingly, there could be an entire apartment on the top floor which could be rented out. This apartment has a lovely, light central hallway with a skylight giving natural light. There is an original kitchen with the ancient style of cooker and fireplace which could be renovated into a feature. There are three more bedrooms on this floor and the pre-positioning of a bathroom.
Underneath the house is where the last owner spent most of her time. This is a rather cute, rustic apartment with low ceilings and a built in kitchen. There is even a bread oven built into the wall. There are several other rooms on this floor used a sitting rooms and a dining room as well as a laundry. This floor has beamed ceilings and original terracotta floors.
The front garden has an attractive pergola which could make a carport.
There is a fantastic, organic butcher in the local neighbourhood which is really like a neighbourhood with all facilities close-by.
