Apartment With Private Garden In The Most Authentic Florence

Located on one of the quietest and most residential streets in Florence’s city centre, just a stone’s throw from Piazza della Santissima Annunziata and Palazzo della Crocetta, with the Sant’Ambrogio Market and Piazza d’Azeglio within walking distance, this ground-floor apartment in a 19th-century building reinterprets the concept of urban living with rare effectiveness. The entrance via a separate driveway gate and the immediate opening onto a 91-sqm private garden transform the perception of the property, making it feel more like a self-contained home than a classic flat in a historic building.

The foyer introduces the entire layout with order and discretion. The living area flows seamlessly onto the garden through big French windows that bring in abundant natural light, making the living room a bright, clean space with a very strong character.

The kitchen is bespoke, with a functional layout where every detail has been carefully considered, and includes a dedicated wine storage area: a feature that enhances both its practicality and its suitability for entertaining guests. The original 19th-century mosaic floors, meticulously preserved, interact with the contemporary finishes in a refined contrast that defines the character of the entire apartment.

The sleeping area comprises two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms. In one, the historic ceiling decorations have been left exposed, creating a deliberate dialogue with the modern language of the property — one of the project’s most successful combinations. The other bedroom houses a mezzanine study situated directly beneath the original ancient frescoed vaults: a highly evocative space, where the historic architecture serves as a natural backdrop to a workspace or private reading nook.

The 91-sqm private garden is one of the rarest assets the property market in Florence’s historic centre has to offer. Recently renovated by professionals, it is now a quiet, well-proportioned green oasis, accessible directly from the living area and potentially capable of accommodating a parking space without compromising the overall quality of the garden. The possibility of creating a parking space within the garden adds significant logistical value in such a central, traffic-restricted area.
