House for sale

A famous Italian architect completely renovated this historic villa only 14 km from Florence, transforming a classical Tuscan villa into a modern home of immaculate design. The large, open rooms resonate with natural light that magnifies the villa's wide open spaces. At the core of the villa is a spectacular living room with double height ceilings, its height articulated by the bold lines of the open walkway linking the rooms of the first floor. Adjacent is a spacious dining room with high brick vaulted ceilings and large arched French doors that accentuate the arch of the ceiling and open onto the terrace. A secondary family room and a separate TV room are further arrayed around the central core. A kitchen, a laundry room, 2 WCs and a storage room complete the ground floor. A staircase leads to the open mezzanine and four bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and sauna, with an additional bedroom or office with bathroom in the tower. The villa opens onto a wide flagstone courtyard in back with fantastic views of the Tuscan foothills, gardens and olive trees. A covered loggia makes an ideal spot for outdoor dining. A 100 sqm guest house with one bedroom, livingroom and kitchenette lies just steps across the courtyard, while a pool is just beyond at the foot of the olive trees. The villa and guest house are immersed in 11 acres of property with well manicured gardens and olive groves.
