A newly restored property only 1 minute from the Corso, but which offers a silence and privacy unusual in the centro storico.  The property is reach by a gate from Via Terranova, which in turn leads to a second gate and charming staircase up to the front door.  A second entrance is on Via Portosalvo above the property.

The entrance hall houses hand built cupboards, one of which houses a state of the art heat pump and water softener.  To the right a dining room and kitchen off, with hand build cupboards and a comiso stone worktop.   Off the dining is the living room, double aspect, and which leads onto a sunny terrace of 20mq.  The floor of the living room is an inlaid floor of pietra pece and comiso stone, of which there are only a handful in Modica, and in more noble houses.   It has been stabilized and lightly restored, but the architects wanted to keep the original feeling of the floor, in keeping with the restored vaulted ceilings and restored original windows and shutters.

The first double bedroom is off the dining room, with access to a second, more shady, terrace, which is also reached from the dining room.

From the entrance hall a door leads to the zona notte – a double bedroom with handbuilt wardrobes, and a bathroom with double sink, important shower room in marble, and services.

The entire property has been completely restored,  with new roofs and  floors with finishing in microcement.  The architect’s eye has created a modern sleek and minimal space of about 140mq and outside space but with original features and a museum worthy floor.
