When there’s a new baby girl in the family or when someone refers to some small object in the most kind, endearing terms they say La Mia Piccoletta  -- “My Sweet Little One”… We’ve borrowed that lovely phrase to name this little house, in need of nurturing and kindness, Casa Piccoletta.

As the name suggests, the house is small.  So is the plot.  But, that’s the point.  It’s intimate and it’s perfectly suited to buyers with a budget that’s “piccolo”.  For €65,000 as a ruin, or, as a key-in-hand finished house for €159,000, Casa Piccoletta is a great little solution for a house in Italy for relatively litte money. The modest acquisition and restoration costs will yield a gem, and that gem can be yours, finished, in just about 4-5 months.

Don’t let the idea of “small” make you think huge sacrifices are in order here.  The house lies between Sarnano and Gualdo. In fact, you have a great view of Sarnano.  Plus, you have a view of the heart of the Sibillini Mountains that can be highlighted in the restoration by a large panoramic window.  The structure is fundamentally in good shape.  The area allows for up to 3 levels of restored living space…two bedrooms, two baths and nice kitchen and living spaces are planned.  An outdoor patio is easy to accommodate and a roof terrace is a possibility.  The house is all stone and brick and has lots of character.

The house is near the road. Don’t let that turn you off.  At this price, there are trade-offs to be made.  But, the road is lightly traveled and provides instant access to shopping, restaurants and sightseeing.  The neighboring house is open only when the owner visits in August, assuring you of privacy.
