Beautiful villa in the countryside

This elegant nineteenth-century villa is located on the road that leads to the Consuma pass, at the border between Florence and Arezzo, and more precisely between Val di Sieve and the Casentino area. The villa is located in a dominant position a few meter away from Borselli, a district in the town of Pelago, near Florence. It has two floors and is 375 s.m. The architectural style is typical of the classic villas, built based on the most functional principles and with a new aesthetic model that appeals to simple geometric forms opposed to an excessive display of the previous Rococo’ style, that was more sumptuous and full of frills. The simple and functional style in also inside the house, where the original division of the spaces is still very modern. The strong point is the natural light given by the wide glass windows in all the rooms. On the ground floor, a wide entrance leads to the big living room with a beautiful pietra serena fireplace and two French doors that give access to the park. Then, there is the dining room, the kitchen with a fireplace and a pantry, the studio, a storage room and a service bathroom. A beautiful stone staircase leads to the first floor, where there are four wide bedrooms, a studio and two bathrooms. The spacious attic extends for the 70% of the lower floor's surface. The villa is surrounded by a 11,000 s.m. fenced park with a panoramic viewpoint and a 20 s.m. garage. The villa is in good condition, but the systems have to be checked. This is an ideal investment as a first house because of its vicinity to Florence, but also as a second house for holidays or seasonal rent. The property is easily reachable via paved country road. *The present information and floor plans are merely indicative and do not constitute contractual elements.
