To renovate: Village house with balcony

This four-story historic village house is located right in the center of Dolcedo and offers plenty of space for a family and guests. High vaulted ceilings, bright rooms, double doors, fireplaces and old floor tiles add to the charm of one of the tallest buildings in the village. An enchanted balcony entwined with ivy overlooks the river. The basement even contains its own cistern and the top floor could be converted into a roof terrace or loggia to enjoy the stunning panoramic views of Dolcedo’s old town and the surrounding area. Unfortunately, the leaking roof has caused water damage in the rooms, and some of them now need to be replastered and repainted. In addition to the roof, it is also recommended to renovate the façade and to install a heating system. The kitchen may also be in need of modernization. Restaurants, café bars, shops and public car parks are conveniently located just a few steps away. The coastal town of Imperia and its beaches are just 7 km away.
