Montepulciano historic center: 123 sqm third-floor apartment to renovate in a historic palace with 5 rooms, kitchen, two scenic bedrooms, and shared cellars. General Description: In the most authentic heart of Montepulciano's historic center, set inside a charming historic palace that preserves the allure of Tuscan Renaissance architecture, an apartment measuring approximately 123 sqm on the third floor is offered for sale.

Interior Layout and Design Potential: The residence spans a generous footprint of approximately 123 sqm arranged into five main rooms characterized by bright spaces and remarkable layout versatility.

The floor plan and generous proportions allow the interiors to be redesigned according to contemporary needs, maximizing natural light and the historic details typical of Montepulciano's noble palaces.

Thanks to its total floor area of 123 sqm and five well-proportioned rooms, the property is suited not only as a primary home or elegant second residence in the heart of the walled town, but also offers compelling prospects for subdivision into multiple residential units aimed at the international holiday rental market or a multi-family residential solution.
