Villa Storica In Vendita A Borgo San Lorenzo

Borgo San Lorenzo, fascinating nineteenth-century villa

Less than 20 km from Florence, among the quiet hills of Borgo San Lorenzo, we offer a 19th century villa on two levels plus outbuildings and chapel.

The property consists of the main residence, with original floors, period stone fireplaces, original stone staircase and chapel for a total internal surface area of over 650 m2.

The villa, which requires some renovation work, has largely functional spaces, with 4 large lounges with fine Tuscan terracotta floors, rooms embellished with splendid fireplaces and ceilings with exposed wooden beams.

The sleeping area consists of six comfortable bedrooms and numerous service rooms.
The property has a beautiful tower from whose terrace you can enjoy a splendid view of the Florentine hills.

The complex is surrounded by a private garden and parking spaces, and it includes other ancillary buildings, which have been heavily affected by time, but which could be recovered to add value to the property.

Florence, treasure of many of the world’s finest masterpieces and overflowing with charming shops, open-air markets, artisan workshops and many excellent restaurants, is just forty minutes away by car.

Fiesole, the Etruscan hilltop city, is halfway to Florence and definitely worth a visit. It offers several restaurants, shops, a cathedral and a Roman amphitheater where a rich program of music, theater and dance is performed during the summer.
