Just a short walk from the historic centre of Florence, in one of the city’s quietest and most refined residential areas — near the Fortezza da Basso and the tree-lined boulevards — stands this beautiful period villa of approximately 420 sqm, complemented by a private 150 sqm garden: a rare luxury to find this close to the heart of Florence. The location Via 24 Maggio sits within a peaceful, elegant residential district historically defined by Liberty- style villas surrounded by greenery. The location offers the best of both worlds: the calm of a quiet, low-traffic street, combined with easy walking access to Florence’s historic centre, Santa Maria Novella station, and all essential services, schools and shops. A prestigious address for those who want a genuine quality of life without giving up the vibrancy of city living. The villa Built in the early 1900s, the villa is arranged over four levels: a garden-level basement floor, a street-level ground floor, a first floor, and an attic. Two independent entrances serve the property: one from the garden, through an electric gate with video intercom, leading either to the basement floor or — via an external staircase — to a balcony giving access to the first floor; the other from the street, on the ground floor, through the main entrance. The property is in excellent condition: the roof, façades, interiors, and electrical and plumbing systems were fully renovated in 2003, while the private 27 sqm covered garage was refurbished in 2017. A flexible property: single-family villa or two independent units Thanks to its two separate entrances, the villa lends itself to a range of living arrangements. It can be enjoyed as one spacious single-family home, or divided into two independent units: the basement floor, with its own access from the garden, and the upper floors — ground floor, first floor and attic — reached via the street entrance. This configuration is ideal for extended or multigenerational families, and equally suited to an investment strategy: the basement unit has in fact previously been rented out, both as a short- term tourist let and as a longer-term transitional rental, providing a genuine source of complementary income for those living in the upper floors. A rare kind of versatility, making the property equally appealing to those seeking a family home and to those looking to combine residence with investment. Interior spaces The villa comprises 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, 2 kitchens and 3 additional versatile rooms, offering a layout ideally suited to both family living and hosting guests. The attic, with an average ceiling height of 2.40 m, is a bright, open-plan space complete with its own bathroom and storage room. Air conditioning is fitted in both the basement and the attic. The details that make the difference The finishes and furnishings, crafted by skilled cabinetmakers rather than mass-produced, give the home genuine character and refinement. Natural light fills every room. The staircase area includes space reserved for a future lift installation, and a small service dumbwaiter is already in place for moving items between floors. For added security, wrought-iron grilles protect the windows of the basement and ground floor. The true highlight, however, is the private 150 sqm garden: a genuinely rare green oasis for a property so centrally located in Florence, perfect for enjoying outdoor living year-round, for entertaining, or simply for having a private slice of nature in the city. A rare opportunity for those seeking a home full of character — historic yet fully liveable — in one of Florence’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. A pochi minuti a piedi dal centro storico di Firenze, in una delle zone più quiete, verdi e signorili della città — nei pressi della Fortezza da Basso e dei viali di circonvallazione — sorge questa splendida villa d’epoca di circa 420 mq commerciali, impreziosita da un giardino privato di 150 mq: un lusso sempre più raro da trovare a due passi dal cuore di Firenze. La zona Via 24 Maggio si trova in un contesto residenziale silenzioso ed elegante, storicamente caratterizzato da ville e villini d’epoca liberty immersi nel verde. La posizione garantisce il meglio di due mondi: la tranquillità di una strada riservata e poco trafficata, e al contempo la vicinanza a piedi al centro storico, a Santa Maria Novella, ai principali servizi, scuole ed esercizi commerciali. Un indirizzo prestigioso, ambito da chi cerca qualità della vita senza rinunciare alla vita di città. La villa Costruita agli inizi del ’900, la villa si sviluppa su quattro livelli: un piano seminterrato a giardino, un piano terra su strada, un primo piano e una mansarda. Sono presenti due ingressi indipendenti: uno dal giardino, tramite cancello elettrico con videocitofono, che conduce al piano seminterrato oppure — tramite una scala esterna — a un balcone di accesso al primo piano; l’altro dalla strada, al piano terra, attraverso l’ingresso principale. L’immobile è in ottimo stato di manutenzione: tetto, facciate, interni e impianti elettrico e idraulico sono stati completamente rinnovati nel 2003, mentre il garage privato coperto di 27 mq è stato oggetto di lavori nel 2017. Un immobile flessibile: villa unifamiliare o due unità indipendenti Grazie ai due ingressi autonomi, la villa si presta a molteplici soluzioni abitative. Può essere vissuta come un’unica, ampia residenza unifamiliare, oppure suddivisa in due unità indipendenti: il piano seminterrato, con accesso separato dal giardino, e i piani superiori — piano terra, primo piano e mansarda — raggiungibili dall’ingresso su strada. Una configurazione ideale per nuclei familiari allargati o multigenerazionali, ma che si presta altrettanto bene a una logica di investimento: il piano seminterrato, infatti, è già stato locato in passato, sia a fini turistici sia come soluzione abitativa transitoria, offrendo così una concreta fonte di reddito complementare a chi sceglie di abitare i piani superiori. Una versatilità rara, che rende l’immobile adatto sia a chi cerca una casa di famiglia sia a chi desidera coniugare residenza e investimento. Gli spazi interni La villa dispone di 6 camere da letto, 5 bagni, 2 cucine e 3 ulteriori ambienti versatili, per una distribuzione degli spazi ideale sia per la vita familiare sia per l’ospitalità. La mansarda, con altezza media di 2,40 m, si presenta come un ampio open space luminoso, dotato di bagno e ripostiglio proprio. Aria condizionata presente sia al piano seminterrato sia in mansarda. I dettagli che fanno la differenza Le finiture e l’arredamento, di alta falegnameria artigianale (non industriale), conferiscono all’immobile un’anima autentica e di pregio. La casa gode di ottima luminosità naturale in ogni ambiente. Nel vano scala è disponibile lo spazio per l’eventuale installazione di un ascensore, ed è già presente un piccolo montacarichi di servizio per lo spostamento di oggetti tra i piani. A completare la sicurezza, inferriate proteggono le finestre del piano seminterrato e del piano terra. Il vero valore aggiunto, tuttavia, resta il giardino privato di 150 mq: un’oasi verde praticamente unica per un immobile così centrale a Firenze, perfetta per vivere gli spazi esterni tutto l’anno, per l’intrattenimento o semplicemente per godere di un angolo di natura privata in città. Un’occasione rara per chi cerca una dimora di carattere, storica ma perfettamente funzionale, in una delle località più ambite di Firenze.
Located in the historic center of Florence, this property offers immediate access to renowned art museums, upscale dining, and luxury shopping. The main train station is a 10-minute drive, while Florence Airport is reachable within 20 minutes. The location combines cultural heritage with modern amenities, providing convenient connections for business and leisure travel.
