Designer House With Private Garden For Sale In Florence

In the very heart of Florence’s city centre, in the Oltrarno district, surrounded by period buildings and artisan workshops, this detached townhouse offers the luxury of a family villa with a garden in one of the city’s most iconic neighbourhoods. With a floor area of approximately 250 sqm spread over two levels, the residence has been recently renovated with great attention to materials and detail, maintaining a minimalist and contemporary architectural style that harmonises with the existing historic features. The heart of the property is the private garden of approximately 200 sqm, a perfectly manicured green oasis that serves as a natural extension of the living area and also accommodates a parking space with direct access from the internal courtyard – a feature that is extremely rare in the Oltrarno district.

The house has two entrances: one, more impressive, through a grand frescoed entrance hall shared with the rest of the building, leading to the communal outdoor area and then to the garden; the other, more private, from a side street, shared with just one other unit and connected directly to the house and the driveway. The ground floor comprises the living area, characterised by big windows that create a seamless connection between the living room and the future kitchen, and the lawn and wooden decking of the garden. This level houses the lounge, a space intended for an eat-in kitchen yet to be fitted, a guest bathroom, a practical laundry room and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom which, depending on requirements, can be used as a guest suite or as a professional studio with a separate entrance.

A sleekly designed internal staircase leads to the first floor, entirely dedicated to the sleeping area. Here there are two bedrooms, both with en-suite bathrooms, featuring refined finishes that combine warm-toned resins, natural stone washbasins and contemporary-style taps. In one of the rooms, the bespoke glass-fronted doors of a visually striking wardrobe stand out, exemplifying the care taken in selecting the built-in furniture and handcrafted details. The exposed-beam ceilings, wooden floors and large openings onto the internal greenery help to create bright and welcoming spaces, where the homely atmosphere blends with that of a refined boutique home.

The garden, laid out with lawns, wooden decking and perimeter hedges, serves as a true outdoor room, ideal for al fresco lunches and dinners, moments of relaxation or small private gatherings. The parking space within the property, accessible via a driveway gate, adds a key practical feature for those wishing to live in the historic centre without sacrificing the convenience of a car. The combination of improvements carried out – from updated systems to high-performance windows and doors, from integrated lighting to carefully chosen colour schemes – makes the house immediately ready to move into, requiring only the installation of the kitchen and some finishing touches to complete the personalisation of the spaces.
