Appartement De Prestige Au Cœur De L'oltrarno

In the most authentic heart of the Oltrarno, on the renowned street of antique dealers, one of Florence’s most fascinating and history-rich roads, we offer for sale a prestigious apartment of approximately 200 sqm, located on the second floor of an elegant historic building of great charm. The property represents a rare synthesis of Florentine elegance, period atmosphere, and extraordinary potential for customization. The home, with as many as three possible independent entrances, is developed mainly on the second floor, where the rooms impress with their character, volumes, and architectural appeal. 

The heart of the home is a splendid living area, spacious and bright, enhanced by an impressive mezzanine that adds movement and airiness to the spaces. This room lends itself perfectly to being interpreted as a relaxation area, formal reception lounge, private study, or an additional guest bedroom, while always maintaining a refined and welcoming atmosphere. On the same level there are other highly versatile rooms, ideal for creating additional bedrooms, workspaces, or areas dedicated to entertaining, thus offering multiple layout possibilities for both residential and representative use. An element of absolute value and uniqueness is the small study reachable via an evocative spiral staircase or with a separate entrance: an intimate space with an almost secret feel that, according to tradition, was used as a writing desk by the famous architect Bernardo Buontalenti. A rare and fascinating detail that links the property to the artistic and cultural history of Renaissance Florence. The living area is completed by a kitchen, dining area, guest bathroom, and a further hallway space from which, via an internal staircase, one accesses the master bedroom with en suite bathroom, a more private and intimate space, perfectly integrated with the historic character of the residence.

 The apartment fully preserves all the charm of traditional Florentine architecture: exposed wooden beams, antique terracotta floors, and original details harmoniously interact with the generous volumes, creating rooms of great warmth and authenticity. Quiet and rich in atmosphere, the property enjoys a simply extraordinary location: set in the most authentic and sought-after part of the Oltrarno, among historic workshops, art galleries, antique dealers, and noble palaces, just steps from the city’s main monuments yet away from the most hectic tourism. A unique residence, ideal for those who wish to experience Florence in its most elegant expression.

Via Maggio is one of the most elegant and iconic streets in Florence’s Oltrarno district, famed for its historic noble palaces, prestigious antique shops, and the authentically Renaissance atmosphere that still defines it today. Linking Piazza Frescobaldi to the Pitti Palace, it has for centuries been one of the symbolic places of Florence at its most refined and cultured, beloved by artists, collectors, and art enthusiasts. The Oltrarno, on the left bank of the Arno, is considered the city’s most authentic and captivating neighborhood. Here, history, craftsmanship, and everyday Florentine life coexist: historic workshops, art galleries, lively squares, historic gardens, and period residences create a unique setting—elegant yet still deeply lived-in. A sought-after area for its exclusive character, quality of life, and extraordinary architectural beauty, just steps from the main monuments of the historic center.
