Casa Marilyn - Cinisi

Villa Marilyn with its large garden is located approximately 20 km west of the city limits of Palermo in the municipality of Cinisi. The village of Cinisi is located directly by the sea and just a few kilometers from Palermo airport. The property To get to Villa Marilyn, drive about 7 km inland from the coast into the hills. The house is situated at 590 m above sea level and has a wonderful view of the north-west coast as far as San Vito lo Capo. The house was built almost 30 years ago by the current owner and makes a very solid impression. There are no damp patches or cracks in the walls. The approximately 120 m² apartment is located on the second floor and is accessed via an external staircase. Underneath is a large garage with adjoining cellar room of approximately 80 m². From here you can also access the apartment directly via a spiral staircase. There is also a toilet in the garage. The approx. 120 m² upper floor is divided as follows: You enter the eat-in kitchen and find yourself in a room of certainly 40 m² with windows facing the sea. From here, a corridor leads to the sleeping area, where there are three bedrooms and a bathroom. Everything is very practical, but even the floor tiles are not unfashionable and acceptable. The house has a pitched roof, which prevents the infiltration of water. Around the entire building, a so-called Indiana - which corresponds to a trench on the inside in front of the outer wall around the entire house - was created, which is a space about 1 m wide that prevents the penetration of moisture and cold. As you can see, this measure was successful! Around the house there is an orchard of almost 2000 m², which is not completely flat; in addition to olive trees, there are mainly fruit and nut trees. It is all very green and there seems to be no lack of water. The house does not have a municipal water connection, but it does have a well and rainwater can be collected in a 50,000-liter cistern. There are two springs just a few meters from the house where you can also fill up with drinking water. The surroundings There are some neighbors in the immediate vicinity who also live here all year round, but you still have total privacy and cannot be seen from your terrace. The village of Cinisi can be reached by car in about 10 minutes on a very well-developed winding provincial road, where there are also very beautiful sandy beaches and of course very good shopping facilities. Palermo city center can be reached in about 40-50 minutes, the airport in about 20 minutes. From the house you can start very nice hikes and enjoy the super view. There is cell phone reception at the house, Internet is received via a satellite dish. The owners are asking around €200,000 for this house. The house has all permits and would cost well over €340,000 as a new build. I would install double glazing in the windows, install radiators if necessary (the pipes are prepared) and update the electrical system as work required for year-round living.
