The house is located in the historic center of the village of Cosio d'Arroscia, a typical ancient village with stone houses in the Ligurian hinterland, at approximately 720 meters above sea level, nestled among woods and vineyards.
The beaches of Imperia and Albenga are approximately 35 km away.
The house is detached from ground to ceiling, spread across five floors and has two open spaces. On one side, the building overlooks a stone-paved square, while on the other, the view extends from the village rooftops to the peaks of the Ligurian Alps.
Each floor of the house has its own independent entrance, but the floors are also internally connected, with the exception of the single cellar in the second basement, which can only be reached from outside the building.
The ground floor of the house is accessible directly from the square through an antique wooden door and is divided into an eat-in kitchen, a bedroom, a bathroom, and a toilet. Internal wooden stairs provide direct access to the upper floor and the basement.
The first floor of the home is also accessible via private external stairs that start directly from the square. A central corridor, where the internal stairs terminate, divides a kitchen, equipped with a wood-burning fireplace and balcony, and two additional bedrooms.
The external staircase continues along the façade of the house and leads to the second and top floor of the building, which consists of an unfinished attic currently comprising a single room that could be converted into an additional living space or a separate apartment. This floor also features two balconies, one overlooking the square and the second offering an open view that extends from the village rooftops to the peaks of the Ligurian Alps.
Finally, the basement of the home can be reached both from the outside, through a door that opens onto an alley, and via the internal staircase on the ground floor.
The house, built of stone and wood, is structurally solid, and the roof was rebuilt in 2022. The original materials that the house retains give it its own character.
The windows, lighting and plumbing systems, and interior finishes all require renovation or replacement.
