Description
Wonderful nineteenth-century villa with a swimming pool, just 20 minutes from Florence and less than an hour from Siena. The property of about 1200 sqm, with 7 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, is immersed in the evocative Florentine hilly landscape, with access via an elegant avenue bordered by centuries-old cypresses. The property, once owned by the Martellis, a renowned Florentine family, is composed of a main villa, developed on two floors plus a cellar in the basement for a total of approximately 850 sqm and an unfinished building of about 400 sqm also on two levels.
The main residence is accessed via a large panoramic terrace, fully equipped with comfortable armchairs, umbrellas, and a dining table. On the ground floor, entering a frescoed hallway, on one side there is a small living room and a double living room with fireplace and, on the other side, a dining room with coffered ceiling, a large built-in eat-in kitchen as well as an adjacent dinette with fireplace. A convenient laundry room completes the ground floor.
Via original stone stairs, you reach the first floor, where there is the sleeping area consisting of 7 bedrooms, all furnished in elegant Tuscan style, and 5 bathrooms, two of which have a bathtub. Finally, on the same floor, there is a large hallway and a study/reading room, multifunctional environments that can be adapted to various needs.
Each living space maintains all the charm and original architectural features, such as terracotta floors, coffered ceilings, and decorative external medallions. Furthermore, all rooms are equipped with air conditioning and are very bright thanks to the windows overlooking the surrounding park.
The other building, currently unfinished, has a double entrance: one on the ground floor and the other on the first floor. On the ground floor, there is an entrance with a service bathroom and it is possible to create a large living room with a kitchen and dining room. Climbing the internal stairs or accessing from the external stairs, on the first floor there is a large hallway, a living room, 3 bedrooms with en-suite bathroom, and a study.
The property also includes an enchanting, perfectly maintained garden of approximately 4.5 hectares, characterized by a beautiful rose garden, lemon trees, pine trees, and centuries-old cypresses. Inside, there is also a splendid in-ground swimming pool with a pietra serena edge, from which it is possible to enjoy the breathtaking view of the uncontaminated countryside.
The property includes numerous storage rooms and convenient parking spaces.
The exclusive property in question is located a few kilometers from the historic center of Florence and close to the main services and, at the same time, enjoys a position of absolute privacy and tranquility, immersed in the green Florentine hills. The villa is therefore perfect as a main residence or as a second country home, with the possibility of being rented to tourists.
