Literally two steps from Piazza del Duomo in Florence, on the first floor of a recently restored Renaissance palazzo, 50-sqm studio apartment with 1 bedroom and 1 bathroom. Accessed from Via dei Servi through a staircase shared with just one other unit, 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 apartment can also be easily rented out to students from the University of Florence.

The door opens up onto a small entrance which leads, to the left, into a wardrobe and a bathroom, while right ahead to the main room of the apartment which includes an open-plan kitchen, a living/dining corner and a sofa-bed for the night. The window overlooks Via dei Servi.

The building is the typical Florentine palazzo: the main façades, along Via dei Servi and Via Bufalini, are 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.
