If you’re looking for a home with an ancient soul and something out of the ordinary, this historic residence could amaze you and make you fall in love. Walls with timeless charm in one of the most picturesque and secluded corners of the historic center of Monteleone di Spoleto, in the heart of Umbria’s Valnerina. What until the second half of the last century was the Church of the Madonna del Carmelo is now a private residence with full livability, still retaining clear traces of its origins, from the Renaissance-era flooring to the columns and vaulted or coffered ceilings.
The transformation into a home has managed to preserve elements of extraordinary character, starting with the large stone blocks set into the 15th-century floor. Walking on them almost gives a sense of mystical respect. The living area, over 100 sq.m., is a spacious room, dominated by a large fireplace with two seats on either side, inviting you to imagine cozy evenings, conversations and moments of quiet. The kitchen, separate and built in brick, has double access to a private terrace framed by a vine pergola and overlooking greenery, a precious outdoor space in total privacy. A comfortable terracotta staircase leads to the upper floor, where the sleeping area is located, consisting of three bedrooms and two windowed bathrooms. Vaulted ceilings, glimpses, and openings that offer panoramic views. The property is in good condition, ready to move in, and measures approximately 260 sqm in total, spread over two levels. It is offered for sale fully furnished, some pieces custom-made. NOT FOR EVERYONE Not a conventional house, but a home for enthusiasts who appreciate ancient architecture, stones worn by time, cozy atmospheres, and the privilege of living in a place that is truly one of a kind, in a panoramic spot of the village.
