Florence, Tuscany 50125

On the first hills of Florence, in Pian dei Giullari, this prestigious portion of a former private wood store is part of a complex dating back to the 15th century, around 1400, transformed into a residence in 2016. The property, classified as a historic-architectural asset, is set in an exclusive condominium context of only two units, with equal shares. The total gross area is about 525 sqm spread over three levels, characterized by spacious, bright environments and a refined blend of historical architecture and contemporary design. The living floor is accessed via an internal staircase and features a double, spacious living room, extremely bright thanks to the large windows that ensure a constant natural light throughout the day. At this level, there are currently two kitchens, a dressing room, and a bathroom. The first floor hosts the main sleeping area, composed of three bedrooms and three bathrooms, designed to guarantee comfort, privacy, and functionality. On the ground floor, there is an additional apartment, currently used as an office, but officially registered as a residential unit. This space consists of a living room, kitchen, one bedroom, and a bathroom, making it ideal as an independent unit for guests, staff, or professional use. The property includes an exclusive garden of about 260 sqm, in addition to a shared garden of 760 sqm. The amenities are completed by five parking spaces, a shared parking area of 361 sqm, and a large communal land of about 3.4 hectares with approximately 450 olive trees. The architectural recovery was executed with great structural and stylistic attention: new foundations, consolidations, and light architectural solutions enhance the original volumes. Exposed wood, lime plaster, and restored fixtures harmoniously interact with iron, glass, and minimalist furnishings. The systems are autonomous and state-of-the-art: heat pump, underfloor heating, fan coil air conditioning, and home automation system. The property is suitable as a high-profile primary residence, representative home, or exclusive second home on the outskirts of Florence, also offering the possibility of a flexible living solution thanks to the independent unit on the ground floor. Nestled in Florentine history, the villa belonged to the Amidei family and passed to Agnolo Tovaglia in 1470, with interventions attributed to architect Lorenzo da Monteaguto. It is also linked to the surveys of Leonardo da Vinci. In the following centuries, it was enriched by significant transformations, including the scenic façade facing Florence and the large Italian garden. The property still retains a unique charm today, also thanks to the presence of an ancient spring considered miraculous, located within the grounds.
