Penthouse downtown overlooking the piazza – Pienza
In the heart of the historic centre, within a four-storey palazzo with modernised interiors and a cellar, this property is offered for sale in Pienza. In an exceptional position, with views over one of the main squares of Pienza's historic centre and its characterful high street, we are pleased to offer for sale, on an exclusive basis, a single-level apartment with a habitable floor area of 86 sq m/926 sq ft, to which is added a 5 sq m/54 sq ft cellar on the floor below. Upon entering the property, a corridor lit by modern glass wall lights leads through to the living area, enhanced by pale diagonal-set floor tiles. The eat-in kitchen is characterised by a soothing sage green palette, adorned with a distinctive leaf-motif splashback. The sleeping quarters comprise two quiet bedrooms. A well-appointed, windowed bathroom finished in light ceramics with a Greek-key border and fitted with a pedestal basin serves both rooms. The true distinguishing feature of this home lies in the height of the mansard ceilings: whilst following the roofline, they are fully usable at every point and finished with smooth, clean plasterwork, deliberately free of exposed beams or stonework, creating a pleasing sense of space and light. The property benefits from independent gas-fired central heating with radiators, an air-conditioning system, and fly screens throughout. Its position is ideal, perfect as a permanent residence, a weekend retreat, or a holiday home, set within one of the most beloved villages in the Val d'Orcia.
