Refined Living Between Art and Heritage – 14th-century frescoed country house with high-end finishes, garden for sale in the Castello area, Florence. Nestled at the foothills north of Florence, in a charming rural-residential setting once favored by noble families for their countryside retreats, stands this captivating 14th-century villa, now thoughtfully divided into two private residences. The apartment for sale spans two levels—ground floor and lower ground—for a total living space of over 300 square meters, seamlessly blending historic character with refined contemporary design. A meticulous and respectful renovation has preserved the villa’s original features, including 14th-century frescoes, handmade terracotta floors, and exposed wooden beam ceilings, while integrating modern architectural elements that enhance functionality and comfort. Particularly striking are the mezzanine-level study with a sleek wood and steel staircase, and the master bedroom, also on two levels, complete with an en-suite marble bathroom and walk-in closet. The custom-built masonry kitchen evokes the warm, convivial spirit of traditional Tuscan homes, while the interior decor—a sophisticated mix of antique furnishings and contemporary design pieces—creates a welcoming, elegant atmosphere throughout. The lower level includes a laundry room, cellar, and utility spaces, adding to the home's practicality. Outdoors, the private 480 sqm garden is beautifully maintained and enriched with lemon trees, seasonal blooms, and a wisteria-covered pergola—perfect for alfresco dining. The garden is also car-accessible and includes private parking spaces. A rare opportunity to experience the charm of historic Florence from a peaceful, sun-filled countryside retreat—where timeless beauty meets modern living.
