Property Description

Real Estate in Porticello

The apartment Terrazza sul Mare is located in the small town of Santa Elia, which belongs to the municipality of Santa Flavia and lies around 12km to the east of Sicily’s capital city, Palermo. The town is mostly supported by fishing, with a little income from tourism.

Furnishings

The property is on the second and top floor of a three family townhouse. An ample staircase leads up to the 86m2 apartment, which is divided into a quartet of spacious rooms: a living room, a kitchen with dining area, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

The apartment has just been renovated is ready for immediate occupancy. Work would only be necessary if you wanted to change the layout of the rooms. New aluminum windows with insulating glass are fitted in the bedrooms and the house has a natural gas connection, so central heating could also be installed with minimal effort.

Surroundings

From both the kitchen and living room you can step straight out onto the sun terrace with a fantastic sea view. This 50m2 space is the feature of the property, and one glance at the photos will show you why!

The coast in front of the house is very varied: small beaches alternate with rocks that jut directly out into the crystal clear water. The area’s most popular beach is just feet away.

Santa Flavia is an upcoming area that we know well – some of our family have made their homes in this area for decades now.

Potential

Perhaps you are thinking of buying a property in Sicily to use as a vacation getaway? The rental potential of this affordable real estate would make it an excellent investment, thanks to the picturesque area, which for a long time was relatively undiscovered, but is now starting to prove a real hit with tourists from Germany, Scandinavia, Russia and the English-speaking world. Running a holiday home in Sicily can be a great way to cover the expenses of your vacations here, and if you are worried that you won’t be around enough to manage the property in person we would be delighted to offer our years of experience in the sector to help you.

The property is offered by the American seller for € 199,000, and we believe there to be a little room for negotiation. Remember that you should calculate a 3.6% commission on top of the final sale price (including VAT), but that this will cover all our agency services including help with notarizing and filing documents and after-sale care.
