Style and design go hand-in-hand in Italy, from the presentation of the delights at the gelateria and pasticceria, to the way Italians wear their scarves and purposefully stir their espressos. Italians seem to have mastered “style” in a way that never goes out of fashion. The same is true on occasion of restoration projects here in Le Marche. In fact, there’s a recently restored townhouse in Penna San Giovanni with a spectacular roof terrace and an interior style that will never go out of fashion. We call this fine townhouse Casa Di Moda, loosely translated as “It’s Got Style”.
Townhouse Di Moda is the ideal in-town solution. You enjoy all the benefits of being in town with the comfort and good living you’d expect from a house in the countryside. You also enjoy all the benefits of a design & character-rich restoration that marries traditional style with very comfortable contemporary living, Marche country meets Scandinavian minimalist.
Fully restored & done right, Townhouse Di Moda is the perfect mix of rustic and contemporary styles that comes in at 125 sqm. over 4 floors, plus a terrific 16 sqm roof terrace with incredible panoramic views. The property has been restored to an excellent standard with high quality materials and finishings, including large format floor tiles, polished concrete stairs and Carrera marble in the kitchen. There are exposed stone/brick “accent” walls thoughout. Beamed ceilings, painted white, allow the character of the old beams to seen while allowing the rooms to feel bigger and brighter. The owners work in interior design and it shows. Townhouse Di Moda is very unique as townhouses go.
The outside of Townhouse Di Moda is integrated into the timeless walls of the town, with old stone and brick façades that are as fashionable today for us foreigners as they were for the nobility that first created them 800 years ago.
The townhouse boasts living spaces that are open and bright. The ground floor has a seriously stylish kitchen. The kitchen will bring a smile to your face, its bright colors a big touch of style unto themselves. There are 2 balconies as well as storage and laundry room. On the 1st floor there’s the comfortable living room, with fireplace and balcony. Moving upstairs we find the stylish bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom, each of which is equipped with excellent quality materials and touches of style that speak to the overall design sensibility that’s the signature of Townhouse Di Moda. The bedrooms are completely private. Moving to the top of Townhouse Di Moda we find the 16 sqm roof terrace. This, in tandem with the design of Townhouse Di Moda, make the property a unique proposition. The views from this terrace are outstanding…full, straight-on views of the Sibillini Mountains, surrounding hill-towns and the rolling hills and cultivated fields between. You’ll love this terrazzo for a relaxing morning cappuccino, a late afternoon siesta, al fresco dining, some late night star gazing or, simply, for taking some sun and taking in the views.
Another great aspect of Townhouse Di Moda is that it’s close to many desirable hill-towns and is right in the center of another – you reside in Penna San Giovanni, with all amenities including, cafes, restaurant, nearby agriturismo restaurants, pharmacy, bakery, butcher, grocery, bank/bancomat, etc. station, etc.. Also nearby are stylishly elegant Servigliano, Sant’Angelo in Pontano, Loro Piceno, Monte San Martino and others. The house is centrally located, around 40 minutes to the beach and 35 minutes to the heart of the Sibillini National Park, and equidistant from provincial capitals Macerata and Fermo.
On a practical note, Townhouse Di Moda is “easy to own” and easy to enjoy in all seasons, given its low annual maintenance needs/costs. The heating system with municipal-gas is most efficient and affords the opportunity to heat just a part of the house, e.g. a single room. There’s internet wifi present. The furnishings can be included, subject to negotiation and agreement between buyer and seller. Parking for Townhouse di Moda is just down the street. The current owners have successfully rented the house to a maximum of 4 guests for €900 per week. Following that model, the property actually generates a profit while you profit from all Townhouse Di Moda has to offer!
So, if you’re looking for the perfect Marche townhouse to demonstrate your good taste and personal style, we’ll meet you on the rooftop terrace at Townhouse Di Moda where good taste and good living never go out of fashion.
