Elegant Residence With Garden In The Heart Of Oltrarno, Florence

In the San Niccolò district, just steps from Piazzale Michelangelo and Florence's historic centre, stands an exclusive 500 sqm historic residence arranged over five levels and served by an internal lift. The residence, the subject of a comprehensive and meticulous conservation restoration, features elegant exposed stone façades adorned with original noble coats of arms and is further enhanced by a 100 sqm private garden, terraces with a veranda totalling 20 sqm and a double garage able to accommodate up to four cars. Its 16th-century architecture, enhanced by the restoration of decorated coffered ceilings, blends seamlessly with both cutting-edge home automation systems and high-quality finishes.

Access to the property is through a refined period wooden entrance door, conservatively restored and fitted with an electronic lock featuring a numeric keypad and remote control. The ground floor is devoted to entertaining and opens onto a large living room flooded with natural light through arched glazing, enhanced by finely decorated coffered ceilings and direct access to the 100 sqm garden, arranged in two sections with ornamental plants, restored stone staircases and a lighting system. The living area includes a professional kitchen with island, fitted with a glass-ceramic hob, reverse-osmosis water filtration system and a temperature-controlled wine cellar, alongside the dining room and a guest bathroom. Completing this level is a first double bedroom with en-suite bathroom, designed for accessibility for people with reduced mobility and with direct access to the private garden.

The upper floors of the residence, reached either via an elegant wooden staircase or by the internal lift with three landings, accommodate a highly private sleeping area. The first floor includes four spacious bedrooms, each with a private en-suite bathroom, including the master suite with a private covered terrace. The outdoor spaces on this level are enhanced by a veranda with an electrically operated shading awning, as well as perimeter terraces with dedicated water points. The carefully selected materials include oak parquet in the living and sleeping areas, while the kitchen and bathrooms feature marble cladding in Biancone di Trani marble and Trani stone. The external window frames, newly crafted in painted chestnut wood with double glazing providing high acoustic and thermal insulation, ensure the utmost living comfort.

The top attic floor of the property has been conceived as a highly functional space, ideal for storage or as an area reserved for service staff. From a systems perspective, the residence is a model of technological efficiency: the roof has undergone extensive refurbishment with thermal insulation, waterproofing and a safety line, while the attic houses the climate control system with heat pumps for heating and cooling, an auxiliary gas boiler, twin hot-water cylinders and automatic anti-Legionella dosing. A second independent entrance provides access to the basement floor, where the technical rooms are located, with pressure tank, water softener, home automation system, laundry area, service bathroom for maintenance staff and the double garage with two quiet, fast-opening automatic shutters. The property also benefits from an FTTC fibre Wi-Fi network throughout, video entry system, satellite TV system and full provision for perimeter and volumetric alarm systems.
