This extraordinary property is the result of a meticulous restoration project carried out by its current owner, a Florentine architect, who has successfully brought new life, character, and functionality to a historic building through a design that seamlessly combines respect for its original identity with modern innovation.
Part of the historic Villa Tovaglia estate, the property occupies what was once the villa’s former woodshed. A refined renovation has enhanced its original charm and architectural features, creating a truly unique residence that is currently arranged as two independent units, which can be easily reunited into a single prestigious home.
The property extends over approximately 525 sq m (5,651 sq ft) and is arranged across a lower ground floor, ground floor, and first floor, all set within an exclusive and peaceful countryside setting surrounded by the beauty of the Florentine hills.
The shared amenities include a 361 sq m guest parking area, an elegant 760 sq m communal garden, and over 3.4 hectares of communal land enriched by approximately 450 olive trees. The property also benefits from five private parking spaces and a 260 sq m private garden, offering an ideal outdoor retreat for relaxation and entertaining in complete privacy.
The lower ground floor accommodates the technical room, laundry area, and a self-contained apartment, ideal for guests, staff accommodation, a professional studio, or a home office.
The ground floor hosts the main living area, featuring a kitchen, a spacious living room, a second reception room, one bedroom, and two bathrooms.
The first floor comprises the sleeping quarters, with three additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, and an elegant private sitting room, perfect as a reading area, study, or additional lounge.
From a technical perspective, the residence offers exceptional levels of comfort thanks to an advanced home automation system, underfloor heating, air conditioning, and an energy-efficient heat pump system, ensuring sustainability, efficiency, and year-round wellbeing.
A residence of rare elegance that harmoniously blends the authentic charm of Tuscan tradition with contemporary living, set within one of the most sought-after and picturesque locations surrounding Florence.
Located in the historic center of Florence, this property offers immediate access to world-renowned art and architecture including the Duomo and Uffizi Gallery. Excellent dining, luxury shopping, and scenic river walks are within minutes. Florence Airport is a 20-minute drive, and Santa Maria Novella train station 8 minutes by car, providing convenient regional and international connections.
