Charming flat in 13th-century former convent

On the first hills of Scandicci, in a dominating and panoramic position, we offer for sale an interesting small apartment with independent entrance and private garden, which is part of an ex-monastery dating back to 1200, completely renovated and composed of 5 units in total. Access to the property is through a large driveway where there are two exclusive parking spaces and then access to the flat through a characteristic porch with a wood-burning oven ideal for outdoor activities and dining. The entrance hall houses an elegant stone staircase leading to the first raised floor where we find a large living room with fireplace, the dining area, and a spacious masonry kitchen. The hand-crafted terracotta floors and high ceilings with wooden beams recall the typical Tuscan country homes of past centuries, while the pastel-coloured plastering makes the rooms bright and welcoming. The sleeping area, distinguished by its wooden floor, hosts a double bedroom, a twin bedroom with mezzanine and two bathrooms, one with shower and the other with whirlpool tub. On the attic floor there is a comfortable sitting room/study. The views over the surrounding greenery frame the beautiful Florentine countryside teeming with hills as far as the eye can see. The property is completed by a beautiful panoramic garden of approximately 500 sq m with native plants, equipped with a gazebo and brick barbecue and a 24 sq m cellar in the basement. Renovated property in a perfect state of conservation, ideal for year-round living given its proximity to city services and infrastructures.
