Building/Palace For Sale In Casarano

Historic building with painted vaults, an internal courtyard, and a panoramic terrace in the heart of Casarano.
In the heart of Casarano’s historic center, overlooking the charming Piazza Umberto I, we offer for sale an important historic building of particular architectural value, featuring spacious rooms, decorated vaults, original floors, a scenic internal courtyard, and a private panoramic terrace.
The property, historically linked to the Stea family and the city’s cultural and professional tradition, still retains a highly authentic architectural heritage, in which original elements interact with an internal layout capable of offering interesting potential for enhancement.
The building is spread over two levels, in addition to the exclusive solar area, and is organized around a charming central courtyard, the true distribution and architectural hub of the entire complex.
The main entrance, marked with the date 1895, leads to the ground floor, which houses a succession of reception rooms and service areas. The internal courtyard, roughly rectangular in shape, is bordered on various sides by an elegant system of round arches and porticoes, with a balcony running along three sides of the building, creating an interesting visual connection between the interior and the open space.
The ground floor features a dining room with eat-in kitchen, a study with a star-vaulted ceiling, two large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, and additional utility and storage areas. The layout, combined with the central courtyard, makes this level particularly versatile and potentially suitable for a different layout, depending on the needs of the future owner.
A double staircase leads to the main floor, where the most representative part of the residence is located. The rooms are arranged around an elegant hallway and are characterized by impressive internal heights, large openings, and a succession of vaults of various types.
Of particular note is the main hall, which looks directly onto Piazza Umberto I, embellished with its original geometric flooring and a sumptuous pavilion vault decorated with frames, floral motifs, and landscapes. The other rooms also retain precious painted decorations on the vaults, including a bedroom featuring a striking vault with a starry sky and a second room dominated by an important central rose window.
From an architectural point of view, of particular interest are the variety of star, barrel and pavilion vaults, the historic floors, the pictorial decorations and the connection system between the internal rooms, the courtyard and the perimeter balcony.
The property is also connected to the public water supply, sewerage system, and natural gas mains, ensuring all main services and utilities are met. Completing the amenities are a burglar alarm system and air conditioning, elements that combine contemporary comfort and security with the charm and authenticity of a historic residence.
An internal staircase leads to the exclusive rooftop terrace, which offers a stunning panoramic view of the rooftops of Casarano’s historic center and the surrounding landscape. This space, in addition to being a natural vantage point, offers exciting potential for use as a private terrace.
The architectural configuration, the surface area distributed over two levels, the presence of the internal courtyard and the solar area, together with the central location and the presence of the main plant equipment, make the property particularly interesting both as a private residence of representation and as a prestigious residence intended for hospitality or a tourist-accommodation development project, fully respecting the historical characteristics of the building.
