Elegant property in the historic center of Oria

Located in the heart of the historic centre of Oria, just a few steps from the charming Piazza Lama and the main streets Via Roma / Corso Umberto, this beautifully restored property combines authentic Apulian character with refined modern living. The residence has been carefully renovated with great attention to detail and high-quality materials, preserving its traditional architectural identity while enhancing comfort and functionality. Designed and personally overseen by the owner, who is an architect, the property retains all the charm of historic Apulian homes, including stunning vaulted ceilings and elegant original features. With a total surface of approximately 160 square meters, the house is primarily arranged on a single level and is located on the first floor, accessed via a private independent staircase from street level. The entrance opens into an elegant hallway that connects the main living areas. The spacious and bright central living room leads to a sitting area enriched by two balconies, which allow natural light to fill the space throughout the day. This area is ideal for both entertaining guests and enjoying relaxing moments, making the property perfectly suited as a stylish second home in Puglia. The sleeping area includes two well-proportioned bedrooms, one of which benefits from a private bathroom, while a second large room is currently used as an additional living area, offering flexibility of use. The fully equipped, custom-made eat-in kitchen is bright and functional and includes a shared bathroom. From the kitchen, an internal staircase leads to a characteristic attic space with a sloping tiled roof and a net surface of approximately 25 square meters, adding authenticity and charm to the home. From here, there is direct access to the panoramic rooftop terrace. The terrace is one of the most remarkable features of the property, offering open views over the medieval Castle of Oria and the Church of San Giovanni. This unique setting creates a breathtaking backdrop that changes with the light and seasons. An approved project also allows for the creation of a second kitchen in the attic, ideal for outdoor dining, sunset aperitifs, and evenings under the stars. The interiors have been carefully designed with bespoke furnishings, including a custom kitchen and handcrafted elements, some of which may be included in the sale. The floors are made of original high-quality Apulian cement tiles, beautifully preserved and enhanced during the renovation. All rooms feature vaulted ceilings, further emphasizing the historic character of the property. The corner position ensures excellent natural light throughout the home thanks to its outstanding exposure. All bathrooms and installations are brand new, ensuring modern comfort while maintaining the authentic historic essence of the house. The renovation has been carried out with meticulous care by a Milan-based architectural firm, preserving original architectural features while upgrading the property to contemporary living standards. A rare opportunity to acquire a unique historic residence in the very heart of Oria, ideal as an exclusive home or a charming holiday retreat in one of the most authentic locations in Puglia.
