The House Of Frescoes · Cor436

A historic 250-square-metre flat on the second floor of a stately building in the centre of Cortona, featuring original frescoes, terracotta floors and two historic fireplaces
REF. COR436
Just a short walk from Piazza del Comune, within a stately home comprising just three private flats, La Dimora degli Affreschi is a prestigious historic residence in the heart of Cortona. With approximately 250 square metres on the second floor, the flat retains the proportions, elegance and architectural character of an authentic Tuscan residence: exceptionally high ceilings, original terracotta floors, frescoes carefully restored to their former glory and two historic fireplaces. The building is not managed as a conventional block of flats, offering residents a sense of privacy and independence that sets this property apart from larger residential complexes.

The interior spaces
The eight rooms are characterised by their imposing proportions and an atmosphere that remains closely linked to the building’s history. The heart of the flat consists of two spacious reception rooms designed for both private life and formal entertaining. The terracotta floors, the restored historic frescoes and the two original fireplaces are not modern interpretations of the period style, but elements that are part of the residence’s history, with an identity that no contemporary building can replicate.

The sleeping area
The sleeping area comprises three generously sized bedrooms. One of them stands out for its finely decorated vaulted ceiling, which creates an intimate space of great architectural significance, suitable as a master bedroom or private suite. The size and layout of the bedrooms ensure comfort for both permanent residents and guests.

The facilities
The flat has three bathrooms, a private cellar and all the essential modern amenities: air conditioning and independent natural gas heating allow for year-round use. The general condition of the property enables the future owner to live in and personalise the residence without the need for structural renovation.

Flexibility of use
Thanks to its generous dimensions and internal layout, the flat offers the possibility of being divided into two independent residential units, subject to obtaining the necessary authorisations. A main residence flanked by a separate dwelling, two private flats or a combination of personal use and high-end holiday lettings: this flexibility represents a tangible added value for those seeking both a lifestyle and an investment opportunity.
