Florence, Tuscany

Charming Apartment with Private Garden in Florence's Oltrarno neighborhood. This property, of great historical and architectural value and requiring complete renovation, comprises approximately 370 square meters on two levels with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, a private garden, and driveway with parking space. The property is part of a building complex once used as the home, studio, and courtyard of one of the most famous Tuscan sculptors of the 19th century, who lived and worked here. It was he who transformed the original building, creating spaces with extraordinary heights and openings, suitable for transporting and working marble blocks. The internal courtyard, now a private garden, was originally a camellia garden, a botanical passion of the artist, some of which are still present and enhance the outdoor space. The property retains highly valuable structural and volumetric elements, such as the original vaults, large openings to the outside, and the spatiality typical of artist studios of the time. The large size (approximately 387 square meters internally) and the significant outdoor space (approximately 182 square meters) make the property extremely versatile in terms of design. The property currently offers various development potential: a unique residence on two levels, with a living area overlooking the garden, a covered loggia, a kitchen with pantry, master bedrooms, a study, a spa area, and utility rooms; Or it can be divided into two independent apartments, each with private entrances, bright living areas, bedrooms with walk-in wardrobes and en-suite bathrooms, as well as additional spaces such as mezzanines, studies, and utility rooms. The design proposals, developed by a Florentine architectural firm, enhance the property's original features, such as the vaulted hall and the view of the rear garden. The outdoor spaces will be redesigned with screening vegetation and a shading pergola, ensuring comfort and privacy. The property also includes a 30 sq m covered terrace on the second floor, dual access, and internal parking-extremely rare features for a property of this type and location. The property represents a unique opportunity for those wishing to create a prestigious private residence or make a high-profile investment, with the possibility of purchasing a second-floor apartment. To breathe new life into a historic space in the heart of Florence.
