For sale flat, city Nardò Puglia

In the center of Nardò, just a few minutes from the Ionian Sea, a majestic wooden door leads into a historic building. Beyond the entrance hall lies a paved inner courtyard, enclosed by an arched loggia flanked by wrought-iron balconies; from there, a monumental stone staircase leads up to the main floor. The apartment occupies this entire level, spanning approximately 270 square meters, plus a storage room of about 30 square meters on the ground floor. The living area is the result of a renovation that opened up the space without compromising the building’s character. A deep living room with a kitchen island spans the entire width of the home, featuring dark wood parquet flooring laid in a continuous pattern, high ceilings, walnut doors, and blown-glass chandeliers; the windows, fitted with interior shutters, frame the light streaming over the rooftops of the city center. A low arched passageway leads to the dining room with a fireplace.The master bedroom is the room that best reflects the building’s origins: a star-vaulted ceiling rises nearly five meters above the hardwood floor, with plastered ribs interlocking according to traditional Salento construction techniques, while a French door opens onto the balcony. Adjacent to it are the walk-in closet and a private bathroom with a double ceramic sink on a cherry wood countertop and a built-in bathtub. The second bedroom, served by a second bathroom with a shower and window, overlooks the greenery. A third room, currently used for leisure, can easily be converted back into a bedroom. A fully equipped laundry room completes the utility area. The ground-level terrace serves as the home’s outdoor living space and surrounds the apartment, extending along its entire perimeter. Paved with terracotta tiles and enclosed by a continuous railing, it features, beneath a wooden pergola with shade sails, a dining table illuminated by lanterns, and further on, a wicker seating area next to stone planters where cacti and succulents grow. All around lies the lower part of the city, with the stone-framed facades of neighboring buildings and the silhouette of the rooftops. On the ground floor, a storage room with a barrel vault completes the property. The home is move-in ready, featuring air conditioning, independent gas-fired radiator heating, and double-glazed PVC windows. It can serve as a permanent residence for those seeking the heart of an art city without sacrificing space and the outdoors, or as a seasonal home in the Salento region, from summer evenings on the terrace to clear winter days. For those looking at it as an investment, the central location, the terrace, and the single-level layout meet the demands of high-quality vacation rentals in a city that welcomes visitors year-round, set amid the Baroque splendor of its squares, the sea, and the countryside. It is rare to find, within a building featuring a courtyard and a stone staircase, a home of this size with a terrace like this: a property to be enjoyed every day and, at the same time, an asset built to last.
