Description
Luxurious, waterfront Art Nouveau villa dating back to the late 1820s, completely renovated in 2020, located on the seafront of Marina di Massa, a prestigious Tuscan resort town nestled between the Tyrrhenian Sea and the Apuan Alps, the enchantment of the Cinque Terre, and the charm of Forte dei Marmi. This luxury residence was completely renovated and restored to its former splendor in 2020. Thanks to its location in one of the most renowned and popular areas of Versilia, it is ideal both as a prestigious primary residence and as a second home for extended vacations, with the unparalleled privilege of having the sky and sea so close you can almost touch them. The property enjoys the privilege of being in a central and strategic location: less than a 5-minute drive from the motorway exit, in the heart of an extraordinary area rich in history, beauty, and culture, and just a few kilometers from Versilia's most fashionable destinations, such as Forte dei Marmi and Viareggio; from the unparalleled views of the Cinque Terre, the Gulf of Poets with Porto Venere, Lerici, and Tellaro; from the white marble quarries of the Apuan Alps; from the fabulous castles of Lunigiana; and from major art cities such as Pietrasanta, Sarzana, Lucca, Pisa, and Florence. The property is a luxury villa dating back to the late 1920s, completely renovated in 2020 and restored to its original architectural value. The exquisite white Calacatta marble floors (including the internal staircases) and the Art Nouveau glass doors were retained, and all the Florentine graffito frescoes adorning the attic and window arches were restored. The villa has a gross floor area of 550 square meters, in addition to the terraces on the second and third floors and a 20 square meter guesthouse located within the large courtyard. The property has three independent entrances, each featuring Bardiglio delle Apuane marble staircases. The four-story property (two floors per unit with its own internal staircase) is divided into two separate and independent residential units, connected by a shared staircase leading to the top floor, making the property easily manageable for a single-family home or, alternatively, for two independent families. The first entrance, facing the sea, leads to the first floor above ground, where we find the living area featuring a bow window and a mezzanine reading area made entirely of glass. To the right of the entrance is the large open-plan kitchen with a peninsula, featuring countertops and cladding in black French Saint Laurent marble. Passing through the wrought-iron door with Art Nouveau glass, which separates the living area from the sleeping area, we find a double bedroom, two large bedrooms, an anteroom, and a bathroom. Descending the stairs from the living area, we find a large open-plan space, two additional rooms, a bathroom, and a useful and deep storage closet under the stairs. Completing the floor is a study/tasting room with an adjoining small open-plan cellar. The mountain-facing entrance leads to the second floor (ground floor), which features a double bedroom with a view of the Apuan Alps, a master bathroom, an eat-in kitchen, a dining room, and a living room, both with sea views. The living room leads to the seafront terrace with a breathtaking and picturesque view of the entire coastline, from Livorno to the Gulf of Poets. A comfortable internal staircase, also in white marble, leads to the laundry room. Further up, you reach the attic floor, which features a double bedroom, a master bathroom, and a study. The villa also features a sea-facing entrance garden, a large rear courtyard (which can easily accommodate four cars), and a 20-square-meter guesthouse equipped with every comfort. A luxury residence, completely renovated and restored to its former splendor in 2020. Thanks to its location in one of Versilia's most renowned and popular areas, it is ideal both as a prestigious primary residence and as a second home for extended vacations, with the unparalleled privilege of having the sky and sea so close you can almost touch them.
