Farmhouse Località Borgolozzi 6, Sovicille

This beautiful 3 level, semi-detached, stone farmhouse, is located about 15 km (10 miles) SW of the city of Siena & about 500m (1/4 mile) from the Etruscan village of Orgia.
The 300 m² (3300sq ft) house, built circa 1000, is a single family that could easily be separated into two separate units.
The main entrance is up a few stairs, across a large loggia or porch.
The living area consists of a large living/dining area with a large, open Tuscan-style fireplace. The bright and spacious kitchen has new travertine marble countertops & new cabinets. Also, on the same level, is a large family room/office.
Three bedrooms are located on the top level. The spacious primary bedroom includes walk-in closet and a large bathroom with tub and separate shower.
The other 2 bedrooms share a full bath & large hall area, perfect for a dedicated work/study area.
The ground floor level, which can be closed off as separate unit, boasts a large open floor plan, living/dining/kitchen area, including laundry room which has interior & exterior access. This level also includes a full bathroom, spacious primary bedroom and a smaller bedroom - perfect for guests or an extra office work space. The ground floor, while having a separate entrance, is connected to the main living area by an interior flight of stairs.
Renovations & upgrades over the years include insulated refinished plaster walls, handmade terracotta tile floors and ceilings rebuilt with exposed hand-hewn chestnut beams.
The house sits on lovely 6,600m² (1.5-acre) parcel bordering the “River Merse Nature Reserve*”, with expansive views of the Tuscan countryside and the towers of Siena.
