Historic apartment with unique garden and panoramic tower for sale a stone's throw from the historic center. In one of the most important streets of the Oltrarno area of Florence, we offer this splendid renovated apartment of approximately 600 square meters divided into various residential units on two levels with an internal elevator. The magnificent garden of over 4,000 square meters with a medieval tower is the largest private garden in Florence, after the Giardino della Gherardesca of the Four Seasons Hotel.

This exclusive apartment with a unique historical-artistic imprint was built in the 18th century, home to a former convent of German nuns. Its particular structure is characterized by large windows, long corridors as well as ancient passageways. Despite being in the center, this splendid residence enjoys an excellent location, in a green and quiet setting. The property has been completely renovated and divided into various residential units.
On the first floor there is located the main apartment of 300m2, accessible via an entrance. The living area is very bright and consists of two bedrooms. The living room was once a terrace and for this reason, inside, there is still an ancient fountain and an elegant fireplace that was added during the renovation. The second room has frescoes painted in the 20th century and original flooring. Both bedrooms have large French windows that lead to a pleasant terrace overlooking the garden and a centuries-old wisteria pergola.
The entrance also leads to a double bedroom for guests. A large corridor follows with further storage rooms, a service bathroom, a laundry area and a large wardrobe, which leads to a large kitchen and two double bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms.

On the ground floor, there is the ancient medieval chapel of the convent of 300m2, transformed into a study with wall bookcases. The characteristic elements of the convent have been carefully preserved: the vaulted ceiling together with the columns of the structure offer a suggestive atmosphere. This unit includes a kitchenette and a small bathroom. The French windows give direct access to the internal courtyard of the house.
In addition to the main apartment, there are two other buildings: 2 studios of about 30 square meters, both equipped with kitchenette, bathroom, bedroom and view of the garden. The complex also includes a large cellar, which can eventually be transformed into an exclusive spa area.
