Description
This historic villa for sale in Florence is one of the city's most impressive residences, thanks to its commanding position that affords spectacular views of the historic center, monuments, and surrounding hills. Dating back to the 15th century, it is set in a vast private park with gardens designed in the 1920s, where ponds, fountains, statues and terracing create a unique atmosphere just minutes from the heart of Florence.
The main villa is on three levels in addition to the original cellars, preserving period elements such as wooden beams, stone fireplaces, panoramic terraces and brightly lit rooms. On the ground floor are the majestic entrance hall with central hall and open staircase, a triple living room connected to the garden, a sitting room with fireplace and terrace, the dining room with pantry, and the historic kitchen with antique oven. The cellars house well, cistern and vaulted rooms.
The second floor offers elegant en-suite rooms and a refined master area with walk-in closets, pink marble bathroom, terrace overlooking the cathedral and an atmospheric library. On the second floor are additional rooms and the viewing tower with seven windows that open a 360-degree view of Florence and the park.
The property also includes a spacious janitor's house, an elegant 19th-century orangery overlooking a rose garden-ideal for conversion as an indoor swimming pool, a gardener's house with a greenhouse, and a romantic little tower in the woods. There is also a tennis court to recover.
This prestigious villa for sale in Florence represents a unique opportunity for those seeking a charming historic residence with generous spaces, privacy, restoration potential, and an excellent location near Piazzale Michelangelo and the International School of Florence.
