Property Description

Villetta Giusy – Modern Villa in Sicily, 12km from Palermo; Three Bedrooms Two Bathrooms and Kitchens Indoors and Out

This single-storey villa, situated in gently rolling green countryside 10km outside Palermo, is a beautiful, well-designed family home. Offering around 120 m² of habitable space, it comprises three bedrooms, a large open-plan living room and two bathrooms. Outside, the 2000m² plot features a neat garden, an outdoor kitchen and a large storeroom, besides ample off-street parking and a covered terrace.

To one side of the building, a grassy lot which forms part of the sale could become an extension to the garden, a sports space or the site of a swimming pool.

Currently occupied by the owners, Villetta Giusy is inhabited all year round, and is in excellent condition both inside and out. There has certainly been more money spent on the property than is now being asked, making it a potential bargain. The only motivation for the sale is that their two young children have a growing series of commitments up the road in nearby Bagheria.

Less than a quarter of an hour from some beautiful sandy beaches, the villa is perfect for a family who are considering a relocation to the island, or perhaps a retired couple who want to be able to host the grandchildren in summer. This beautifully presented modern villa in Sicily’s most populous and economically active province is not likely to be on the market for long.

 

The Property

The building’s construction is a mix of grey stone and brick, with a long, gently pitched chalet-style roof in warm terracotta tiles. The property is entered from the main wall through an electronic gate in a perimeter wall which has also been fashioned to showcase the historic stone that once built all of the houses in the area.

The front door leads into a very spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room. Windows on three sides guarantee a bright and airy atmosphere, and the room’s heat is retained behind modern, double-glazed windows and wooden shutters. The white wood cupboards, food preparation spaces and dresser were all made to measure by a local carpenter, and are helpfully included in the asking price.

Villetta Giusy has three bedrooms accessed down a hallway, with the master bedroom also having its own en-suite bathroom, in cheery blue with a box shower. Elsewhere, the larger family bathroom boasts a corner bathtub with hydromassage jets, besides a WC, bidet and a sink unit with storage.

The large master bedroom has a high ceiling with exposed wooden beams, giving it an unmistakeably Mediterranean charm. A smaller guest room still offers nearly 20m2 of space. The third is currently a child’s room, and is of a similar size. If you don’t need it as a third bedroom it would make a roomy and extremely comfortable study. All of the rooms offer garden and countryside views.

In and around the house there are all the comforts you could hope for from a modern villa in Sicily. The well-tended garden immediately around the house features neatly clipped hedgerows, a few well-chosen small trees, a turf lawn area and a covered terrace of about 20m2. The further patch of land is rougher with grass. A fence and gate separates the two areas, allowing younger children the freedom to play outdoors in safety.

Al fresco dining is an integral part of the Sicilian lifestyle, and a really fabulous feature of the property is its huge outdoor kitchen. This is complete with a brick grill oven, a double sink, ample storage, tiled underfoot and wooden canopy.

There is off-street parking for multiple cars, and the gate is electric and sturdy. Under foot, flagstones in beautiful patterns accentuate the stone decoration on the house walls – everything has been designed here, nothing just occurs by chance. The ornate decorative outdoor sink is a great example of this attention to detail and emphasis on rustic charm.

The property is technologically up to date, protected by an alarm system for the property and cooled in summer by modern air conditioning units. There is a pellet heating system in the storeroom, which keeps the house cosy and warm, and also produces hot water. This system is augmented by solar panels and perfect insulation of the windows, doors and walls to keep your bills to a minimum. All light switches are compatible with smart lighting systems. This is a thoroughly well-built family home.

 

Surroundings

This property is located in the municipality of Santa Flavia, in the province of Palermo. In fact, the closest town is actually Casteldaccia, a few kilometres to the east, but Santa Flavia, the main town of the district, is only a little further north, on the beautiful headland known as Capo Zafferano. The nearest beaches can be reached in barely ten minutes by car, and you will have your pick of the small secluded coves on the peninsula or the long, languid strips of sand that run along the north coast towards picture-perfect Cefalù.

Villetta Giusy is situated on a single carriageway provincial road which is important enough to be well maintained but carries only the lightest of local traffic. This is a quiet, rural area characterised by olive groves vineyards and gentle hillsides – you would never think the city was just around the corner. However, the residents of this district are here all year, not only visiting in summer, so there is a feeling of security and help being at hand when you need it.

The nearest supermarket is just five minutes away on the road into the large market town of Bagheria, famous for its Baroque villas and home to the nearest train station. Speaking of transport links, you are only five minutes away from the motorway, which brings traffic from the east of Sicily to the island’s capital, Palermo.

Palermo is Italy’s fifth largest city, and one of its most enthralling. With a stunning new Marina which opened last year, a two billion-Euro infrastructure investment scheduled to take place around the city’s passenger port by 2030 and a recent redevelopment and expansion of the Falcone-Borsellino international airport, it is leaving behind the ugly stereotypes of the twentieth century and attracting not only overseas tourism but investment too.

The city is well known for its opera house, unique Arab-Norman cathedral and ancient history, but legendary in Italy for its food. Whether you’re picking up fresh produce in the sprawling, souk-like street markets, or tucking into Palermitano street food delicacies like arancina, cannoli and panelle, you’ll be treated to an explosion of flavour. To walk off the calories, take a stroll through the bohemian piazzas and parks of the trendy La Kalsa district, or dive into the world class boutiques on glamorous Via Libertà.

 

Potential

Apart from the furniture – and remember, the kitchen is sold with  the house – the future owner will not have to invest a cent after the purchase has been completed. This house is perfect for year-round living, the city is not far away but you’d never know it for the peace and quiet of the countryside and its nature.

The proximity to beach, city and so many great travel connections, plus the presence of the efficient heating and cooling systems, and the option to add a swimming pool makes this an excellent prospect for a full time relocation to Sicily. Remember that whether you’re bringing a remote working job, a freelance career or even a pension income to the island with you, you can cash in on some huge tax breaks in your first five or six years of residence.

If you’re looking for a simple but beautiful modern villa in Sicily on a mid-range budget, Viletta Giusy is an ideal choice.
