Single family villa via di Santa Marta 17, Careggi - Rifredi - Dalmazia, Florence

In one of the greenest areas of Florence, nestled between the Orti del Parnaso, the Giardino dell'Orticoltura, Villa Fabbricotti and the Baden Powell Gardens stands a splendid neo-Renaissance style villa, currently being renovated. The plans, by Studio Casamonti, envisage a restoration in contemporary taste while fully respecting the original construction. The more than three and a half metre high ceilings and the important internal cubage allow the spaces to be designed and furnished in a twentieth-century or contemporary manner, to display large paintings or pieces of designer furniture.

The ground floor is raised above street level and is accessed by the original stone staircase leading to a large hallway from which one enters the kitchen on the right and from it to the huge living area consisting of a double living room and an independent room, versatile in its use. The staircase leading to the upper floor is topped by a skylight in the roof that allows both floors a source of natural light. On the upper floor we find three bedrooms, a large walk-in wardrobe, a bathroom in the master suite and a service bathroom.
A garage, laundry room, a large back garden and a detached dependence surmounted by a terrace of almost 40 square metres make the property an attractive cut for both a first home market and for investment use. The dependence could become a small independent flat, a studio, a workshop, a reception room immersed in the greenery of the garden. To the side of the core of the cottage a large terrace provides additional convivial outdoor space. The property has not yet been completed, so it is possible to customise the choice of flooring, walls, finishes, sanitary fittings, and furnishings in a broad sense. The double-glazed windows and doors have a modern and minimalist line that can be easily combined with any style according to which the new buyers will want to shape the spaces.
The area is very well inhabited and a stone's throw from the city centre, not far from Piazza della Libertà, well connected with the Santa Maria Novella Station and with the even closer San Marco Vecchio Station. The proximity to any services makes it attractive for the residential market.
