To the rhythm of Pizzica we descend into the splendid reality of Taurisano, we are in the province of Lecce and precisely in Salento, an area waiting to be discovered with ancient churches, farms, dry stone buildings scattered in the countryside surrounding the ancient palaces of the local aristocracy.
The property that we show you today is located in the characteristic historic center and enjoys a very favorable geographical position, especially for summer tourism; in fact it is a few kilometers from the most popular seaside resorts: Torre S. Giovanni, Gallipoli, S. Maria di Leuca.
The corner house directly overlooks Corso Umberto, one of the main streets of the town and with its two floors is well inserted in a reality made up entirely of buildings of the same size.
It is currently a single apartment with a large study on the ground floor, a garage, a multipurpose room, a small bathroom and a cellar, but it could become either a commercial business to generate income or a first independent apartment. Each room is large and equipped with windows and has the possibility of an independent entrance. The ancient vaulted attics stand out while in the current cellar we find an oven fireplace which anxiously awaits to once again become the center of attention of the house.
We now go up to the first floor via the internal staircase, which takes us to a small balcony. From here we can choose three entrances to the apartment and this flexibility will allow us, if we feel like it, to rethink the interiors to our use and liking. What you immediately notice are the splendid star-shaped ceilings that we find in three rooms of the house and the varied choice of internal floors in cement tiles and grit tiles.
Currently the rooms are divided into the large double room overlooking Corso Umberto, the living room, the dining room, a kitchenette, the second bedroom and the bathroom while on the side opposite the main room, in addition to the boiler/laundry room, a beautiful terrace overlooking the dome of the main church.
The house, which certainly needs a reinterpretation, represents a typical piece of local architecture and awaits your imagination and yours to become a splendid and elegant residence in the historic center as well as a potential source of income in case you want to dedicate it entirely or partly to tourist activity.
Come and visit it and let us know what you think.
