Urban Villa With Pool In Florence's Coverciano District

In Florence, on one of the most residential streets in the Coverciano district, characterised by detached villas and tree-lined gardens, this contemporary villa is set in a peaceful setting just a short distance from the city’s historic centre. The property, which is set back on several sides and has been recently renovated, comprises approximately 320 sqm of interior space across three levels and opens out onto a private garden of around 1,000 sqm, featuring a striking swimming pool with a sunbathing area. The architectural design prioritises light-filled spaces, big windows and a strong continuity between indoors and outdoors, whilst the photovoltaic system installed on the roof contributes to energy efficiency and living comfort. The villa – designed with a strong focus on sustainability to reduce energy consumption – is ideal as a main residence for a family seeking privacy and outdoor spaces within the urban fabric.

On the ground floor, carefully designed without any architectural barriers, the large living room with dining area opens directly onto the garden thanks to floor-to-ceiling French windows that flood the rooms with natural light, as well as leading to the striking staircase that descends to the pool level. These features allow the summer season to be enjoyed as an extension of the living area. The spaces are organised in a fluid and contemporary manner, with a spacious kitchen area that flows seamlessly into the living area. The finishes, from herringbone-laid wooden floors to sophisticated colour schemes, create an elegant yet informal atmosphere, suitable for both everyday living and entertaining.

The first floor is primarily dedicated to the master suite, the true heart of the sleeping area, comprising a spacious double bedroom with access to its own en-suite bathroom, a fitted walk-in wardrobe and a connection to a charming mezzanine that can be used as a private study, lounge or additional sleeping area. The second bedroom with its own bathroom, also enhanced by high-quality finishes and built-in wardrobes, is located on the ground floor. The bathrooms, featuring marble and gold-plated fittings, evoke a classic elegance reinterpreted in a contemporary style, lending the sleeping area a distinctive character.

The well-ventilated basement, partly above ground, complements the interior layout with multifunctional spaces ideal for a home cinema, a private gym, a play area for children, or additional utility rooms. The presence of utility rooms and a convenient garage makes managing the house particularly easy, whilst the three-level layout allows for a natural separation of the living, sleeping and leisure areas, offering a high degree of flexibility for those wishing to adapt the spaces to their own needs.

Outside, the garden surrounding the villa has recently been redesigned with an English-style lawn, perimeter hedges and trees that create green screens and ensure privacy from neighbouring properties. The swimming pool, positioned in line with the main façade of the house, is surrounded by a large paved area ideal for sun loungers and relaxation zones, while stone footpaths connect the various entrances and the car park. The photovoltaic system integrated into the south-facing canopy demonstrates a commitment to sustainability, significantly reducing energy consumption without detracting from the villa’s overall aesthetic.
