Description

House . City - Florence

Immersed in the prestige of the Tuscan hills, just 15 km from the heart of Florence, stands this magnificent farmhouse, where the charm of the Middle Ages meets contemporary exclusivity. The main building, originally a fortified watchtower, retains the grandeur of its original architecture, offering a living experience rich in history and authenticity. In addition to the main residence, the estate includes two independent apartments. The main residence, approximately 414 sqm, is arranged over two levels. On the ground floor there is an entrance hall, traditional kitchen, living room, dining room, laundry room, one bedroom, and three bathrooms. The first floor hosts three bedrooms, one of which features a mezzanine, and an additional bathroom. The property is completed by a semi-basement level with a summer lounge with bathroom and library, ideal for conversion into a modern wellness area, gym, or winter garden, as well as original stone cellars and a technical room. Within the main farmhouse there are also two apartments with independent entrances: An apartment of approximately 54 sqm on the ground floor, consisting of an entrance, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. An apartment of approximately 100 sqm on the first and second floors, comprising an entrance, kitchen, living room, two bedrooms, one bathroom, and a turret on the upper level. The entire property is set within a landscaped park of 5,000 sqm, offering views over the city of Florence and the surrounding hills. The terraced layout not only provides ever-changing panoramic vistas, but also ensures each residential unit enjoys its own privacy and a dedicated garden area. The true heart of the summer is the swimming pool, located in a secluded position on the lower level of the park. The property is completed by two agricultural outbuildings, very useful for storing equipment.
