House for sale near Lucca, Tuscany

House for sale in the Compitese area, near Lucca, Tuscany. This is a small semi-detached stone house dating back to about 1750-1800.

This property is situated in the beautiful sunny and warm Compitese area south of the medieval city of Lucca, in a very attractive hillside hamlet with magnificent views. The house itself is 65 square metres over three floors.

On the ground floor there is a lounge with a grey marble fireplace and original chestnut beams. Ther is also a small kitchen with a white ceramic sink (no other fixtures). Leading up to the first floor is an original staircase made of brick, terracotta tiles and pinkish marble tiles.

On the first floor there is a small landing, a wall cupboard with large antique door and a bedroom with chestnut beams and a large window with views over the village. Another original staircase, terracotta tiles and brick, leads up to the third floor where there is a bathroom with white ceramic sink, toilet, bidet and shower. The tiles are in various shades of blue. There is a small landing (terracotta tiles) and a bedroom with terracotta tiles, chestnut beams and view over village.

The house needs some restoration, which could be done quite cheaply because of its size. This property is an absolute must for someone with vision who enjoys restoring/decorating. With imagination, elbow grease and some cash it could be turned into a really delightful little cottage full of original and quaint features.

In front of the house there is a small strip of land for sitting outside with flowerpots etc. The house is bathed in sunlight. The property is 15 minutes from Lucca, 20 minutes from Pisa (and the Airport), 5 minutes from the motorway (Florence, Rome, Livorno) and 20 minutes from the beautiful seaside resort (protected area) of Marina di Vecchiana.

This property will not be on the market for long: this is a top Tuscan location, all the beauty, cypress trees and olive groves of Chianti, yet convenient for the coast, Pisa Airport, Florence and Lucca.
