Description
In Settignano, on a pedestrian street just steps from the main square, in a picturesque and quiet location, stands an elegant single-family townhouse of approximately 170 square meters, created from the careful restoration of a former historic convent. The conservation effort preserved the original walls and structure, returning a home with unique charm, where ancient character interacts with modern and high-quality finishes.
Equipped with a double entrance with armored doors, the property can be used as a single residence or divided into two independent units, ideal for guests, rental activities, or to ensure complete privacy for two living units.
On the lower floor, the first unit unfolds, welcoming and perfectly organized, consisting of a charming sitting room with a working fireplace, a custom-equipped kitchen, a raised double bedroom, and an elegant bathroom outside the bedroom. This portion can be completely separated thanks to the independent entrance.
Ascending to the first floor, one accesses the main apartment, the beating heart of the property. A bright dining room with an active fireplace and custom kitchen leads to a fascinating 15th-century terrace, framed by ancient stones and overlooking Florence and the surrounding greenery: a perfect place for outdoor breakfasts or relaxing moments at sunset. On the same level, there is a spacious double bedroom and a finely renovated en suite bathroom.
On the third and top floor, a refined loft opens onto another double bedroom with a private bathroom. Inside, a cozy corner hosts a loft bed, ideal as a reading area or space for children. Completing the level is a large living room with a library, a warm and quiet environment, perfect for winter evenings or as an additional living area.
The property is equipped with air conditioning, an independent heating system, and is sold fully furnished, ready to be inhabited.
An exclusive residence, designed for those who desire charm, privacy, and an atmosphere of absolute prestige in the heart of one of the most charming villages of the Florentine hills.
The property is located in the heart of Settignano, one of the most charming and historically rich villages of the Florentine hills. Nestled on a ridge overlooking Florence, Settignano is famous for its ancient origins, stone houses, cobblestone alleys, and authentic atmosphere that still today attracts artists, writers, and lovers of Tuscan beauty.
The property is set within a perfectly preserved small historic village, characterized by an elegant private road that ensures tranquility and a strong sense of intimacy. Here, time seems to have stopped: the stone walls, internal courtyards, and the scents of the surrounding gardens narrate the most genuine tradition of the area, far from traffic, yet close to the main square of Settignano, with its cafes, restaurants, and essential services.
Despite the secluded and reserved setting, the location is extremely convenient: in a few minutes, you can reach the center of Florence, the residential district of Campo di Marte, and the main roads leading to Fiesole and other hill towns. The area is well served by public transportation and features small local businesses — grocery stores, bakeries, shops — that keep the community spirit typical of historic villages alive.
The property's location is ideal for those who wish to live in an elegant and quiet environment, immersed in nature and history, without giving up proximity to the city. Access via a private road ensures privacy and silence, while the layout of the village — typically medieval — does not provide direct parking, but rather on the main road, an element that helps maintain the authentic, pedestrian, and undisturbed atmosphere.
A unique location, perfect for those seeking a charming retreat in the Florentine hills, amid picturesque landscapes, tradition, and quality of life.
