Description: Wrapped in the warmth of its native golden stone, Casa Fringuella (Finch Cottage) celebrates everyone?s dream of living in the peaceful Italian countryside. This architectural gem is both a quiet haven and a stepping stone to cultural adventure where one can enjoy bucolic al fresco dining on the sunny terraces or be stimulated to explore the medieval history of this museum landscape. The two hundred year-old farmhouse has been completely rebuilt with singular refinement, respecting the original floor plan and using salvaged antique materials. Without detracting from the history of the home, modern renovations have included reinforcement of the structural strength of the building, and a new state-of-the-art foundation and roof. Subtle details such as wiring for a central stereo sound system, and artistic touches of hand forged iron and custom crafted windows and doors of old wood, complement the tapestry of interior stone walls, arches, and unique tile floors. The 210 square meters include large, open living areas, dine-in kitchen with fireplace, two/three guest bedrooms, two/three baths, master bedroom suite with fireplace, and unusually extensive storage. True to the original architecture, an outside stairwell additionally connects the second level with the gardens. There is also an exterior wood-burning bread/ pizza oven and utilities room with a reserve water tank. City water, electric, buried gas tank and a septic system are already installed. Private without being remote, located near the historic centers of Montelparo, Santa Vittoria, Force, and Monte Falcone, Casa Fringuella has a splendid setting with remarkable views of forested hillsides, the Sibillini Mountains, and the ancient hill towns. The home faces south and has a garden acre of cleared land, the beginnings of a small olive grove, and the exterior plumbing and electric to potentially accommodate a pool and solar panels. Stop press! Owners have added a terrace which provides a wonderful outside dining area.
