Roughly 150 m from Piazza del Duomo in Florence, on the fourth floor of a recently restored Renaissance palazzo, 146-sqm penthouse with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and balconies. The windows overlooking Via dei Servi also offer a beautiful view over the Dome of Santa Maria del Fiore. The property is currently under renovation and the buyer is given the freedom of choosing the finishes he/she prefers, which can be seen on a catalogue on site.
The main door of the penthouse opens up into an ample living area, brightened by two windows. This generous hall includes an open space kitchen, a cosy dining area and a sitting area. Through a corridor, one can reach the sleeping area. On the right, the corridor opens into a small balcony (3 sqm) with a view over the internal courtyard of the palazzo. On the left, three doors lead respectively into the first bathroom, the laundry and one of the bedrooms. At the end of the corridor, a small passage room finally leads into two more bedrooms and another bathroom. One of the bedrooms is enriched by a balcony (5 sqm) overlooking the courtyard as the previous one.
The building is the typical Florentine palazzo: the main façade, along Via dei Servi, is laid over four floors. The lower one features the light ashlar (bugnato) commonly found in many palazzos dating back to the 14th and 15th centuries. A string course marks the lower edge of the second floor, sporting gabled windows (both triangular and half-circular) and well-visible cornerstones in contrast with the white plastered façade. A second course marks the third floor, identical in style to the one below it, which then goes on to the roof without further divisions.
