Description
Located in a privileged position, in the first hills of the Florentine Chianti, this 15th century luxurious villa combines the charm of the historic dwelling with the comfort of a contemporary style obtained from skilful restoration works.
The Renaissance villa has developed around a watchtower dating back to 1100 built in a strategically panoramic and dominant position and for this reason the estate enjoys an incomparable view of the surrounding valleys and the splendid historic center of Florence that is only 20 min drive away.
Upon entering you are greeted by a large glassed entrance hall around which there are three large rooms, currently used as study room, lounge / library and dining room to also frame a splendid internal courtyard enclosed by a crenellated wall. From this central atrium we go up through a spiral staircase to the sleeping area which has 4 bedrooms each with a spacious bathroom with shower and bathtub. You then continue until you reach the tower, a large quadrangular space flooded with natural sunlight, the perfect place to meditate, study or ideal space to host an art studio thanks to its 360-degree view of the Tuscan countryside dotted with olive trees and typical lush vegetation.
The large professional kitchen is on the underground floor where we also find another dining room, a huge pantry / laundry area and cellars, characterized by exposed stone and barrel vaults, which can also be transformed into a garage. It is also possible to build an elevator for a more confortable access to all floors.
An outbuilding with independent entrance and access to a private garden offers two more bedrooms with a bathroom, a living room and a kitchen.
The important renovation works were aimed at obtaining the best in terms of exploiting the volumes and the different angles and views of the villa which is distributed over 4 levels and has a total area of about 700 square meters.
Large outdoor spaces, a parking lot, but above all a green and luxuriant garden with centuries-old trees complete the charm of this Florentine residence, a perfect combination of past and present.
