Maison Restaurée Avec Fresques Originales À Vendre À Pise | Borgo Foriporta D

A Restored Home with Original Frescoes at Borgo Foriporta, Pisa
Extending across approximately 181 square metres, Residence D combines generous living spaces, a private garden and three remarkably spacious double bedrooms within the carefully restored setting of Borgo Foriporta in Pisa.
The property benefits from two separate entrances. Residents returning from the garage, parking space or communal grounds can enter through the private garden and directly into the living area. A second entrance opens onto the street, offering convenient pedestrian access when returning home on foot from Pisa’s historic centre.
At the heart of the home lies a spacious living and kitchen area of more than 45 square metres. Designed as the main gathering space of the house, it provides ample room for everyday living, entertaining and family life while maintaining a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere.
The first floor is dedicated to the sleeping quarters, where Residence D reveals one of its most distinctive characteristics. All three double bedrooms exceed 21 square metres, creating a level of comfort and flexibility rarely found in modern homes. Rather than one principal bedroom and smaller secondary rooms, the layout offers three bedrooms of comparable size, making the property equally well suited to family living, visiting guests or home working.
Each bedroom retains its original frescoed ceiling, preserving an important connection to the building’s history and giving every room its own individual character.
Living Spaces Across Two Floors
The layout of Residence D has been designed to balance generous communal areas with comfortable private accommodation.
The ground floor revolves around a living and kitchen area of over 45 square metres, creating a natural setting for everyday life and social occasions. The proportions of this space allow it to adapt easily to different lifestyles, whether used as a permanent residence, a second home in Tuscany or a base for extended stays in Pisa.
Alongside the main living area, the ground floor also includes the entrance hall with staircase, a practical utility and storage room, and a guest WC.
Upstairs, the first floor accommodates three spacious double bedrooms arranged around a central landing. One bedroom benefits from a private bathroom, while a second bathroom serves the remaining accommodation. A small storage room adds further practicality to the layout.
Private Garden for Outdoor Living
The private garden of approximately 50 square metres creates a pleasant extension of the living space and offers an inviting setting for outdoor dining, morning coffee or simply enjoying time outdoors.
Residents arriving from the communal grounds can access the property directly through the garden, creating a natural connection between the outdoor space and the main living area.
Private Garage and Parking
Residence D includes a private garage and an allocated parking space, providing convenient parking within the development.
The combination of private parking and a location close to Pisa’s historic centre allows residents to enjoy the convenience of urban living without sacrificing practicality.
Original Frescoes and Contemporary Comfort
One of the most distinctive features of Residence D is the presence of original frescoed ceilings in all three double bedrooms.
These preserved decorative ceilings contribute significantly to the character of the home, creating bedrooms that feel both elegant and authentic. Rather than being confined to a single room, the frescoes form part of the daily living experience throughout the entire sleeping area.
At the same time, the property benefits from the comfort and efficiency expected from a carefully restored contemporary home, creating a balance between historic character and modern living.
Modern Efficiency Within a Historic Setting
Behind the historic character of Residence D lies a home designed for contemporary living.
Comfort Throughout the Seasons
Underfloor heating, cooling systems and heat pump technology work together to create a comfortable indoor environment throughout the year. Whether used as a permanent residence or a second home in Tuscany, the property has been designed to provide consistent comfort across the seasons.
Energy Efficiency and Everyday Performance
Expected to achieve Energy Class A1, Residence D combines the character of a historic building with modern standards of energy efficiency. Thermal insulation, acoustic insulation and high-performance timber windows help create a quieter, more comfortable indoor environment, while the heat pump system supports efficient year-round heating and cooling.
Security and Future Technology
The property also benefits from features designed to support modern lifestyles. Provision for home automation allows future owners to integrate remote management systems according to their own preferences, while a wired intruder alarm system and video entry system contribute to everyday peace of mind.
Together, these features allow Residence D to preserve the atmosphere of a historic home while providing many of the comforts, efficiencies and practical advantages expected from contemporary living.
Life At Borgo Foriporta
Borgo Foriporta is more than a collection of individual homes. Created through the restoration of a historic Pisa property, the development has been designed to combine private residences with shared spaces that support everyday life.
With only eight homes, the borgo offers a balance between privacy, community and practicality. Controlled pedestrian and vehicle access help create a more private residential environment, while landscaped communal grounds and internal pathways provide attractive shared spaces for residents to enjoy.
Designed For Everyday Living
Residents benefit from a range of amenities designed to make daily life simpler and more enjoyable. These include a communal gazebo, a dedicated dog area, a condominium waste collection area and a shared electric vehicle charging point.
Rather than being added as afterthoughts, these facilities form part of a wider vision that places equal importance on comfort, convenience and quality of life.
A Private Setting Close To The City
One of the distinctive advantages of Borgo Foriporta is its ability to combine the atmosphere of a private residential enclave with the convenience of an urban location.
Residents can enjoy the benefits of shared green spaces and a carefully planned environment while remaining within easy reach of Porta Calcesana, Pisa’s historic centre and the city’s everyday services.

Situated close to Porta Calcesana, Residence D offers the convenience of city living while remaining part of a more private residential setting. Shops, cafés, restaurants and daily services can be reached easily, allowing many everyday activities to be enjoyed without relying heavily on a car.
