Unique, gloriously grand ground floor apartment in a 15th century 'palazzo' building in the heart of the historic centre of Florence. This breathtaking property includes two apartments, for a total of approximately 1100 sqm with 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, and a very large, paved outside garden terrace of ca.238sqm, running the whole length of the property which has gates leading to gardens of even bigger dimensions, ca. 416 sqm, mostly planted as parkland. The property has extensive cellar space and parking for 2 cars. Adorned with wonderful, original frescoes and carvings the apartment is a procession of very large and beautifully luminous rooms, thanks to the gorgeous high ceilings and large floor to ceiling French windows which all lead to the external terrace.

Description:

The entrance to this incredible property is firstly through an impressive Renaissance courtyard, with 2 dedicated private parking spaces. Once through the courtyard, one enters into a gorgeous ‘salone’, which was once the original carriageway, that proceeded through the Palazzo and its gardens until reaching Piazza del Carmine. This barrel–vaulted salone has been exquisitely restored and is decorated with original frescos. Through massive arched doors at the end of the salone is the first part of the outdoor garden, a terrace with antique, stone slab paving with wonderful set of gates leading to the parkland garden with a fountain and a small limonaia. Through the enormous reception room is a grand, formal dining room and a spacious living room. Further on is a study and a very handsome library and sitting room. The master bedroom has an en suite bathroom and sitting room.

Behind these rooms are beautiful wooden stairs leading up to a mezzanine level, currently used as a study/dressing room with lovely arched ceilings.

A further mezzanine level above the kitchen has another 2 rooms which could be used as a bedroom, sitting room and bathroom. The original theatre of the property now serves as an independent room through which is a further sitting room, a kitchenette, 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.

The property has original brick-vaulted cellars of ca.300 sqm. This is a collection of interconnected spaces and vaults that could become a family spa and gym area or used as storage or cantina space.
