Appartamento dell’abside

Privacy and historic charm define this apartment in the historic center of Trevi, in Umbria, set within a stone building that still preserves an apse from the ancient Church of Santo Stefano and distinguished by a layout spread over multiple levels, with garage, storage room, small paved outdoor area and panoramic terrace. The property, of approximately 280 sqm, enjoys a central and convenient location close to services, a short distance from Umbrian medieval villages, Perugia and the main road links, offering a balanced combination of urban living and hillside tranquility.

Access is from a street in the historic center, through a private entrance that leads to a small paved garden, intimate and functional. This outdoor space, compact in size yet well usable, accompanies the main entrance and immediately conveys the authentic character of the property with masonry elements, compact volumes and openings overlooking the surrounding historic setting. The view then opens onto the Umbrian hills and the Trevi valley, with a wide horizon that immediately enhances the upper level of the house.

At street level, the first residential core welcomes the living area with dining room and kitchen, three bedrooms, a bathroom and a large room once used as a nave, now interpreted as a generous living space, to be arranged according to your lifestyle. The architectural language retains valuable original features, such as exposed stone walls, arched openings, irregular wall profiles and proportions typical of the historic architecture of the Umbrian center. The finishes recall a renovation from the 1990s, with ceramic and terracotta floors, light-colored walls, simple ceilings and wooden details that maintain a coherent and genuine character. The kitchen is eat-in, bright and functional, with a practical layout of furnishings, while the sleeping areas are well distributed and suitable for continuous residential use.

The internal staircase, located behind the apse, leads to the upper floor, where you will find a fourth bedroom, a study and an additional bathroom. The vertical connection enhances the original structure of the property and guides the reading of the home fluidly, from the most representative areas to the more intimate and private spaces. The bathroom is finished with simple, functional materials, in line with the overall layout of the property, while the study offers a useful room for work, reading or guests.

On the top level there is the attic study, a space that expands the versatility of the house and leads to the panoramic terrace. Here the view becomes the star: hills, fields, lines of vegetation, terracotta rooftops and the contours of the Umbrian landscape create a setting of great quality, ideal for moments of outdoor relaxation. The terrace is habitable and represents one of the most appealing features of the property, as it combines privacy, visual openness and everyday usability in a central historic setting.

The lower ground floor completes the amenities with a storage room and two garages, a rare feature in the historic center and a major convenience for daily life. These spaces add concrete functionality to the property and strengthen its suitability both as a primary residence and as a charming hospitality project. In fact, the apartment naturally lends itself to an elegant main home or to a boutique hospitality venture, thanks to its size, location and the presence of ancillary spaces that broaden its possibilities of use.

The systems reflect an older setup, consistent with the historic nature of the property, and provide a solid basis for any updates according to contemporary needs. Overall, this is a historic apartment for sale in Trevi that combines authenticity, centrality, outdoor spaces, garage and panoramic terrace, with the added value of a strongly characterful Umbrian setting and a location close to services, art villages and the region’s natural trails.
