Duplex for sale in Via Dell'osservatorio, Firenze, Toscana

Description

Prestigious frescoed apartment for sale in a historic villa from the 1300s with a private garden, on the first hills of Florence, one of the most evocative and rich in history, between Careggi and Castello. The ancient elegant country residence has a total area of about 200 sqm, with 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and has a comfortable independent entrance and private parking.

The property is accessed via an exclusive courtyard. The ground floor consists of an entrance that leads to a magnificent double room, embellished with remarkable frescoes framed by refined lozenge motifs. The living area and the dining room of the villa appear like a private museum and have original terracotta floors, combined with the colorful and very rare late-Gothic style paintings: They are the first frescoes with profane themes and allegorical scenes, more intimate and familiar.
A large French door lights up the room and overlooks the pleasant terrace with a pergola, ideal for outdoor meals. The majestic hall leads to the eat-in kitchen decorated with pretty tiles, with access to the attic via an automatic retractable staircase.
The sleeping area has two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, high ceilings, exposed beams on the mezzanine, and a walk-in closet. A comfortable hallway with a service bathroom completes the floor. On the lower floor, there is a large cellar with a laundry area, which can be used as a games room, study, or wellness area with a gym and spa.
