Charming Historic Salento Residence

To sell - Gagliano del Capo

GAGLIANO DEL CAPO – In the heart of the historic center, Abitare in Salento is pleased to offer for sale an authentic and charming Salento residence, built in local Lecce stone and tuff, arranged over two levels with approximately 90 sqm of usable floor space. Originally designed as two separate dwellings and later combined into a single residence, the property still retains an internal layout that allows for either a unified living solution or two independent units. A wooden sliding door separates the two areas, while the main entrance, also in solid wood, features two autonomous access points, ensuring privacy and flexibility of use. The home has been thoughtfully renovated, preserving its original architectural identity while introducing modern comforts, generous interiors, and a stunning panoramic roof terrace with views of both the Ionian and Adriatic seas. The entrance on the ground floor leads through a small hallway into a large room with traditional star-vaulted ceilings dating back to the 17th century. This level hosts the living area, enhanced by custom wooden display cabinets built into original niches, a built-in kitchenette with handcrafted terrazzo countertops and sink, and a sleeping area created on a wooden mezzanine integrated into the space. The ground floor also includes a full bathroom with masonry shower and forced ventilation, as well as a small cellar obtained from the restoration of an ancient cistern. The terrazzo flooring features a central pink wind rose, a scenic detail that pays homage to the maritime identity of the area. Handcrafted wrought-iron light fixtures complement the tones of the flooring and the impressive Lecce stone fireplace, now converted into a thermo-fireplace, adding atmosphere and comfort during cooler evenings. The upper floor is reached via a stone staircase and offers inviting and versatile spaces. A mezzanine level with exposed vaulted Lecce stone ceiling has been converted into a study/reading corner with a semi-circular window with a wooden frame and a full bathroom with shower. Continuing upstairs, the main first-floor room features edge-vaulted ceilings and original cement tiles, enriched by a small mezzanine ideal for reading or relaxation. The compact yet well-equipped kitchenette boasts terrazzo and cocciopesto flooring, induction cooktop, refrigerator, electric oven, washer, handcrafted terrazzo sink, and custom wooden cabinetry integrated seamlessly into the architectural context. Throughout the property, artisanal details are harmonized with contemporary solutions designed for everyday comfort, including Wi-Fi, mosquito screens, wooden and wood-effect PVC frames with double glazing. Additional features include satellite dish, provision for methane gas connection, connection to the municipal water and sewage network, and a multifunction thermo-fireplace compatible with wood, olive-pit briquettes, and pellets. The property stands out for its versatility: ideal as a summer residence or holiday home, perfectly suited for longer stays as well, and an excellent investment opportunity thanks to its strong potential for short-term rental income. Completing the offer, just a short distance from the property, is the possibility to purchase—at an additional cost—a storage room of approximately 17 sqm, featuring barrel vaults and ideal for use as a warehouse, a bicycle or scooter storage area, or even as parking for a small car.
