Marsciano, Umbria 06055

"La Casa tra i Pini" - A substantial 70s house with flexible living spaces, mature gardens, and all the room you need to create your ideal home in Umbria. Set in an elevated position on the fringe of the medieval hamlet of Cerqueto, La Casa tra i Pini is a large, practical 1970s detached house measuring 465 sqm. True to its era, the property focuses on generous room proportions, straight lines, and a functional layout rather than rustic charm. It is structurally sound and fully liveable today, making it a great option for buyers looking for a solid property they can modernize over time. Reached via a short, tree-lined driveway, the house is arranged over three main floors plus a loft and is currently divided into two independent apartments of approximately 130 sqm each. The ground floor consists of a rustic kitchen with a fireplace, a bathroom, a small underground cellar, and four large garage and storerooms. These are practical, utilitarian spaces that offer plenty of room for vehicles, workshops, storage, or potential conversion into hobby spaces or additional living accommodation. To the first floor there is an apartment in good, liveable condition and includes an eat-in kitchen, a separate living room, three double bedrooms, and a bathroom. It benefits from its own independent gas heating system, a balcony, and a large 60sqm private terrace that is usable but needs renovating. To the second floor there is an apartment features a bright, open-plan living room with a kitchenette and a fireplace. The layout includes two double bedrooms, a single bedroom, a study, a storage closet, and two bathrooms with windows. This apartment is also in good general condition and has independent gas heating plus air conditioning. Above the apartments is a sloping loft level used for storage, which includes a small belvedere area with excellent views over the Umbrian hills and countryside. The property is connected to the municipal water supply and natural gas network, and is equipped with an Imhoff septic tank as well as a connection to the public sewer system. Both apartments have independent heating systems. The house sits on a 2,000sqm plot of land featuring mature pine trees, an olive grove, and a small fruit orchard. The garden is mostly flat, offering plenty of space for outdoor seating or a future swimming pool, and includes two private water wells. The house is a short walk from the centre of Cerqueto, a quiet village with essential daily shops and home to Peruginos famous 1478 fresco. The larger town of Marsciano is 4 km away for supermarkets and broader services. Perugia and Todi are both 20 km away, and the regional international airport is 29 km away. With its dual-apartment layout, this property is a straightforward, functional choice for two families buying together, anyone wanting a spacious home with an entirely separate guest floor, or for buyers considering a small hospitality project.
