On the very first hill of Florence, near Bagno a Ripoli, a historic 17th-century villa of about 1150 square meters wisely spread over two floors with a private park of 3000 square meters and a swimming pool. The lemon house serving the historic villa completes the noble property. An enchanting place just a few kilometers from Florence.

Following a road among the olive trees and the Florentine countryside, you reach the villa of approximately 1150 square meters, with two independent entrances highlighting the luxurious and historic nature of the property. From the entrance to the exclusive garden, one can appreciate the regular architecture that characterizes the villa. On the ground floor, a succession of spacious lounges, an office, and the equipped kitchen open onto the outside and the large panoramic terrace of about 60 square meters. There are a total of ten large and bright bedrooms and eight bathrooms, some of which are service bathrooms, others are en-suite. The villa, tailored to the needs of the current family owners, has been designed to accommodate four families, which is why the ground floor is characterized by large French doors and independent accesses to disengage and provide privacy to all rooms. A characteristic internal courtyard, not visible from outside the villa, brings additional light to the most interior rooms. The basement of about 180 square meters houses the cellars but can be transformed into an apartment and wellness center. Not far from the villa is a charming retro-style lemon house, all on one level and approximately 20 square meters.

Outdoor space
The private land of about 3000 square meters is fully fenced and planted with fruit trees and flowers that, especially in spring, offer a play of colors and scents. The terrace located adjacent to the living area is about 60 square meters with panoramic views and is well exposed to the sun. The swimming pool is positioned in such a way that there is no overlook, allowing for moments of absolute relaxation and privacy. An outdoor kitchen has been designed to service the garden, as well as the changing room and sunbathing area.

Condition and finishes
The historic villa has echoes of the 70s regarding the bathroom finishes; it requires some simple modernization work and, by simply removing a few drywall walls, it lends itself to being inhabited again as a unique manor residence. The rooms are well lit and characterized by Tuscan rustic style but with refined finishes, notably the wonderful exposed wooden beams, splendid terracotta floors, and characteristic stone fireplaces.

Potential uses
The villa is perfect for being inhabited by a family that does not want to give up the peace of the countryside or the convenience of living near Florence. It is possible to maintain the current interior layout of four apartments, but also, by following simple steps, to create a spacious single residence.

Location
Bagno a Ripoli is located on one of the very first hills of Florence and is one of the most convenient and sought-after residential areas in the immediate surroundings of the center, with all the necessary services that make this place perfect for family living. The historic center of Florence, located just a few kilometers away, is easily accessible by car or public transport.
