House for sale, Via Bruno Buozzi, 49, in Matera, Italy

MATERA - SASSI - In via Bruno Buozzi 49, in the heart of the "Sassi", Joincasa offers for exclusive sale a splendid independent building, unique in its kind, among the first within the Sassi to have been carefully restored and brought back to its original structure. Even the actor Richard Gere had the opportunity to appreciate the premises, when he stayed there during the filming of the film "King David". Its imposing beauty is immediately visible from Via Bruno Buozzi, one of the very few streets of the Sassi di Matera where access to cars is allowed, surrounded by buildings of the most varied architectural forms and the variety of landscapes typical of the city of the Sassi. The building is on 4 levels, three of which have an independent entrance and enjoys the presence of two balconies and two terraces with wonderful views of the city. On the ground floor, with entrance from Via Buozzi, we find the large living area, now used as a b & b, with a kitchenette, a fireplace and a bathroom, as well as a beautiful room with vaulted ceilings in which a large library is housed. On the first floor also connected by an internal staircase on the ground floor, we find a large living room with balcony, kitchen and second bathroom. Access to the premises on the first floor is also guaranteed independently by an entrance from vico Confalone, reachable by an external stone staircase, under which a convenient storage room has been created. On the second floor we find the two bedrooms with a bathroom and two terraces each of which with a splendid view of the city. In the basement, with separate entrance, we find about 80sqm of subconcession rooms, now used as storage but with a certain potential for development in the face of a renovation that aims to make it an accommodation facility or a service area for the house (with a small indoor pool for example). To the right and left of this characteristic building in via Buozzi the steps invite you to make short detours to discover suggestive corners, such as the traditional 'neighborhoods', architectural and social nuclei of the ancient Sassi districts, and ancient primary elements of associative life. The main points of interest of the historic center, numerous clubs, bakeries, bars and commercial services are in the immediate vicinity. Very close and easy to reach we find the parking reserved for residents. The heating of this residence is guaranteed by a condensing boiler positioned in the storage room on the first floor and serves the whole house through fan coils positioned in each room. The roof and façade were renovated in the first years of purchase by the current owner and are still subject to careful maintenance. Matera has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993, European Capital of Culture in 2019 and province of the Basilicata region, a territory rich in history, uncontaminated places with food and wine and natural itineraries appreciated all over the world.
