Villa, Urbania, 61049

Overview

Located in the northern part of Le Marche, Urbania lays beside the river Metauro; the lore, the dwellers' friendliness, not to mention the tasty cuisine are some of the reasons why holidaymakers fall in love with it. Ramblers in search of the less-trodden path can pick up from a huge range of trails, whereas art lovers can spend their time in visiting the local attractions.

Either way, things to do in this neck of the woods never run out, therefore buying a property here is definitely worth the money. This country house, for instance, runs the gamut from buy-to-let to an year-round family living; placed at a stone's throw from the town centre, is utterly immersed in a peaceful countryside.

The owner has been mindful to conflate the contemporary design into the rural character: as a result, the bright spaces flow smoothly. Attention to details has been put in every nook and cranny, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living; under floor heating ensures warmth during the colder months.

Fully refurbished in 2018, the property comprises an older, as well as a newer portion; plaster and stones have been used to stress the in-between difference. The main flat is developed on two split-level floors, and its interiors ooze a rustic soul; resin flooring, hardwood flooring, and old tiles have been skilfully mixed depending on the rooms.

Downstairs, the sitting room is a must-see: embellished by stone walls and old wooden beams, is spot-on to relax around the freestanding wood burner after a long country walk. Two brick exposed pillars frame the adjacent raised kitchen room, where the kitchen island elegantly stands out.

From the bright dining room, which is directly linked to the patio, a white-painted staircase leads to the upper level; here, hardwood flooring runs through the whole floor. Two en-suite double bedrooms, two further bedrooms each with its own bathroom, and an additional bathroom ensure enough space to host friends.

Albeit the second flat has been refurbished too, it lacks the inner finishings. It can be used either as a studio, or as a dependance.

Concerning the home consumption, the property is self sustaining: a 6kw photovoltaic system provides hot water, energy for the heat pump, and the general electricity.

Step outside

A panoramic garden of 3.000 sq. metres  mainly laid to lawn surrounds the property; it is studded with lavender, rosemary, and other species of local flowers, which during the blossoming smells incredibly good. The garden also hosts a relaxing 4x10mt pool built with a local stone. A stone exposed outbuilding has been built for general storage; beside it, a convenient bbq is perfect for summer meals.
