Sleek and Sophisticated! This modern home built in 2002 is designed for gracious living. Its appointments and infrastructure feature a blend of quality traditional materials from Umbrian artisans as well as high technology systems. Important details include architecturally designed lighting and radiant heating throughout.

The house is situated on a gentle slope with wonderful views of the surrounding countryside and hills. There is a large graveled driveway and car park. A luscious lawn surrounds the house, its flat contour perfect for a swimming pool. There is also a small grove of olive, fruit and decorative trees that look down upon the house.

Floors on the top two living floors are constructed with larch wood planking, covered with a pale grey wash. The bottom floor, cantina and taverna are paved with ceramic tiles.

All three floors have radiant - in floor - heating. ADSL is installed in the house. All utilities are underground. Note in the accompanying photos that there are no roof gutters or drain pipes. They are "buried" inside the corners of the building, designed so that rain water slopes to specifically constructed drain pipes. In addition to the city-supplied water, there is also a well with ample water for irrigation and a possible swimming pool.

The property is about 5km from the Pre-Roman town of Amelia. Amelia is located about one hour and fifteen minutes north of Rome, and twenty minutes from the Orte train station, which has direct access to Rome by train.

PRICE Euro 700,000 plus commission, taxes, closing costs.
