4-BEDROOM LUXURY APARTMENT FOR SALE IN FLORENCE, LUNGARNO

The apartment is located in the historic centre of Florence and all the most important monuments of the city are easily reached on foot: the church of Santa Maria Novella (12’), the Basilica di San Lorenzo with Michelangelo’s sacristy (18’), Palazzo Pitti (19’), the Uffizi gallery (19’), the cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore (20’), Palazzo Medici (21’), the church of Santa Croce with the tombs of the greatest artists of Italian literature (24’) and the unique Piazzale Michelangelo which offers an exclusive view over the whole centre of Florence (32’).

The apartment (330 sqm – 3,551 sqft, 3 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms) is located at the first floor of a historic building in the historic centre of Florence, along the Arno river.

The access to the apartment is granted via a condo-staircase or elevator. From the entrance room one can enter a corridor with doors on both sides. To the right, one can find (from the closest to the farthest) the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and walk-in closet, a living room with fireplace and coffered ceiling and a studio/TV room with bar. The living room grants access to the balcony with view over the Arno river.

On the opposite side of the corridor we find an ample dining room and a secondary corridor leading to the kitchen of the apartment, where is also located a second entrance door.

At the end of the main corridor, brightened by an ample window, we reach a beautifully-frescoed (trompe l’oeil motive) anteroom. From here, two pocket-doors lead to a bathroom and to a third corridor. Taking the corridor we find a bedroom on the left (linked to the last bathroom) while if one can keep going will reach a room currently used as a gym with a bathroom in the mezzanine (but potentially convertible into a further bedroom with bathroom). Going up the stairs we reach the last bedroom, fitted with a bathroom and a nice walk-in closet following the shape of the underlying third corridor.

On the ground floor, the apartment is fitted with a technical room for the central heating, while the basement hosts a room currently used as a cellar.

The wing behind the pocket door, made up of corridor, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, could be exploited as an independent staff quarter.

The apartment has been finely restored and enriched with luxury finishes. The floors of the whole property are covered in parquet, which perfectly marries with the moulded and coffered ceilings. The room at the end of the main corridor is decorated with a beautifully-crafted trompe-l’oeil painting hiding two doors leading to the secondary wing of the property. Elements carved out of stone are present such as the fireplaces in the rooms and the beautiful Carrara-marble floors in one of the bathrooms.

From the living room, through a French window, one can enter the balcony with columned parapet overlooking the Arno river.

The apartment spans over 330 sqm in total but its internal layout allows using only part of the property (instead of the whole surface) based upon the size of the family living there, by simply “excluding” the rooms located behind the pocket-door at the end of the corridor.

Alternatively, given the extremely privileged and convenient location in the historic centre of Florence, the property is also suitable as a prestigious office.
