Elegant Apartment In The Heart Of Florence's Oltrarno Area

In the heart of Florence's most authentic neighbourhood, among historic shops and art studios, a prestigious apartment is for sale on the second floor of a noble building, embodying the perfect balance between history and modern functionality. Spread over two levels with a total of approximately 200 sqm of interior space, the property captivates from the moment you enter, thanks to its 4.5-metre-high coffered ceilings, which enhance the spaciousness of the rooms. The property also features a cellar in the basement and the convenience of a lift, a rare privilege in historic buildings in the city centre.

We are located in Florence's Oltrarno district, a short walk from Palazzo Pitti, the Boboli Gardens and the Ponte Vecchio. An area that has enchanted travellers, artists and residents for centuries with its unmistakable mix of history, art and artisan tradition. Living in this part of the city means being immersed in the charm of Renaissance Florence, enjoying the liveliness of a neighbourhood where every door tells a story and every corner holds a work of art.

The building in which the property is located is a listed period building, embellished with original architectural features and perfectly maintained thanks to regular conservation work. Its elegant façade, spacious entrance hall with pietra serena details and the internal lift offer a perfect combination of the charm of the past and contemporary comfort. The high ceilings, the spacious mezzanines with heights of almost two metres and the fluid distribution of space reveal a careful design that enhances modern living while respecting the historical identity of the place.

Inside, the apartment is harmonious and functional. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a large reception room, the heart of the home, with exposed beams and picturesque views from the windows. The dining area, adjacent but distinct, opens onto the separate kitchen, which is well organised and equipped with a functional loft. The sleeping area consists of two charming double bedrooms: the first, more intimate, has a loft ideal as a study or reading corner, while the second, more spacious, boasts a custom-made wardrobe, private bathroom and a livable loft. Both bathrooms have windows, and built-in wardrobes complete the organisation of the spaces. The second level, distributed among the various mezzanines, offers functional accessory spaces that are well integrated into the structure, ideal for everyday life.

Although it does not have private outdoor spaces, the property benefits from big windows overlooking two of the most charming streets in the Oltrarno district, offering bright views and lively perspectives on the surrounding urban context. The building has a lift, a valuable feature in a historic area, and the property is enriched by a cellar, ideal as a utility room or small archive. The building, which has been carefully maintained, features fine architectural elements and a sober and elegant atmosphere that reflects the historic nature of the entire street.

Buying this prestigious apartment in Florence means choosing a home with authentic character, set in one of the most noble and sought-after areas of the city. The beauty of the interiors, the balance of the spaces, the generous heights and the architectural context make this property a rare and precious find. Just a few minutes' walk away are the Ponte Vecchio, Piazza della Signoria, the Cathedral and the city's main museums and theatres, making it ideal both as a main residence and as an elegant representative home.
