Maison quatre façades in Barberino-Tavarnelle

Manor Villa in the Chianti Hills | This splendid Art Nouveau villa is located in a dominant position in the Chianti hills. Originally, the villa served as a church for the community of Magliano, but was later converted into a manor house by a noble Florentine family. The property is easily accessible via an asphalted road leading to a private cypress-lined avenue a few hundred metres long. Currently, the view is slightly obstructed by the thick cypress trees, but once thinned out, it would reveal a breathtaking 360-degree panorama. The property faces south and therefore benefits from sunlight throughout the day and a particularly pleasant microclimate. The villa, which is completely independent and free on four sides, has undergone a very recent renovation that involved the roof, which has been completely redone, and included the installation of a 25 sqm photovoltaic system with a production capacity of 5 kW, the addition of a recharging station for electric cars, the insulation of the external walls with a thermal coat, the integration of heat pumps in the living and sleeping areas, and new thermo-insulating window frames. The villa is on two floors, to which is added the cellar located in the basement. Access to the house is through a large entrance hall that leads to the masonry kitchen, the dining room and the large living room where there is a functional fireplace. From the living room there is also access to the laundry room and a utility room. Currently, the kitchen is not directly connected to the dining room (temporarily converted into a room with a private bathroom), but the two rooms are easily reconnected and the latter can be easily reconverted into a dining room. The same applies to the connection of the dining room to the living room. On the ground floor there is also a service bathroom and access to the cellar of approximately 30 sqm, located in the basement. Climbing the beautiful stairs leads to a sitting room, which leads to the three spacious double bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom. To the rear of the villa is a small renovated barn, stacked as a storage room, of approximately 25 sqm, including a barbecue. In front of the entrance to the villa is a beautiful terrace of about 35 sqm, with below a double storage room on two levels of about 45 sqm each. The property is surrounded by approximately one hectare of private land, at the moment consisting of a courtyard and woodland, with the possibility of purchasing further land, such as vineyards or olive groves. The property is served by the municipal waterworks for domestic use and a cistern to collect rainwater for irrigation of the garden. In addition, there is the possibility of building a swimming pool in the private courtyard.
