Detached house for sale in Villafrati

In the heart of the picturesque Villafrati area, just a short distance from Palermo, RE/MAX offers for sale an entire townhouse that reinterprets the charming Sicilian tradition of "Casa e Putìa" (home and shop) in a modern, technologically advanced way. This property is aimed at discerning international investors seeking a complete, multipurpose facility where work and living spaces coexist in complete harmony and independence, offering the perfect Mediterranean lifestyle with multiple income streams. The operational and production heart of the facility is located on the ground floor and lower level. Entering through the main entrance, you're welcomed into an elegant, modern café and pastry shop, with a contemporary design and plenty of natural light. The core of the business is located on the lower level, which houses an impressive professional production laboratory, fully equipped with high-quality stainless steel pastry and food service machinery, and supported by a large, well-organized warehouse. The offering extends outdoors into a large private paved courtyard spanning over 1200 square meters, housing an exclusive freestanding solid wood structure. Equipped with a professional steel bar and a large covered dining area surrounded by palm trees, this space transforms into a charming outdoor pub and cocktail lounge during the summer months. This second commercial hub attracts a significant flow of customers on summer evenings, ensuring the entire complex enjoys significant and consistently demonstrable revenue. The residential section extends across the upper floors and is divided into two completely independent apartments, located on the first and second floors respectively. Both units have been exquisitely renovated with meticulous attention to detail, offering welcoming and quiet spaces. This dual-apartment configuration offers extraordinary flexibility: one unit can be used as a primary residence and the other as a vacation rental for the international tourist market, or it can accommodate business partners or family members with the utmost privacy. From a technical standpoint, the building guarantees maximum energy efficiency thanks to a massive 20 kW photovoltaic system installed on the roof. This technological feature perfectly complements the sustainability philosophy and drastically reduces electricity costs for the industrial laboratory, cafeteria, and summer pub, significantly optimizing the company's profitability and protecting the investment over time. This offering represents a unique turnkey opportunity, ideal for those seeking a solid investment in Sicily that combines an excellent commercial start-up, cutting-edge technology, and a versatile multiple-unit residential solution.
