Roughly 150 m from Piazza del Duomo in Florence, on the second floor of a recently restored Renaissance palazzo, 108-sqm apartment with 1 bedroom (possible for 1 more), 1 bathroom and terrace. 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 apartment opens up into a welcoming entry from where one can reach both the living and the sleeping area. The leftmost door leads to a bright living hall connected to the dining room with an open space kitchen. From here, a French window leads outside onto the terrace (14 sqm).
The rightmost door, on the other hand, opens into a corridor leading in turn to the laundry, the bathroom and the spacious double bedroom with a walk-in closet. From the bedroom, another French window leads outside onto the very same terrace. The spacious walk-in closet could easily be reworked into a second bedroom.
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.
