In a unique position in Piazza del Duomo, inside a restored palazzo, luxury apartments with terraces for sale. The two units (260 sqm in total) are currently independent but could be easily joined together to have a single huge exclusive residence with 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms and two beautiful terraces where you can almost touch the cathedral.
Unique investment opportunity for those who are looking for either a private house in the heart of Florence or rental property in one of the world's most beautiful cities.
Services are all available in the immediate vicinity, thanks also to the central location of the property inside Florence. Moving throughout Italy is very simple as well since the Santa Maria Novella train station is just 10 minutes away from the property on foot.
DESCRIPTION OF THE APARTMENTS
The apartments (260 sqm – 2,798 sqft in total) are located on the two upper floors of a restored manorial palazzo in the northern side of the square, just an actual stone's throw from the Cathedral.
From the condominium landing, the first door leads into Unit N°1 (110 sqm – 1,184 sqft). The first room is an ample living room leading in turn to the first bedroom with a small terrace facing the Cathedral. From the living room, a staircase leads to the upper floor. Halfway through, on the right, is a bathroom with tub. Once on the first floor, we find a dining room, a kitchen and a WC. Both the dining room and the kitchen feature windows leading outside onto the beautiful panoramic terrace, where you have the impression of being able to touch the Church. With just over 20 sqm of surface, the terrace is also ideal for al fresco breakfasts and dinners.
Back to the condominium landing, the second door leads into Unit N°2 (150 sqm – 1,614 sqft). Once inside we are in a huge living room with dining corner and relax area with fireplace. The kitchen, pretty spacious and fully equipped, is just next to the living room. Another door leads to a hallway servicing the sleeping area made up of a master bedroom with private bathroom (tub), a double bedroom and a service bathroom. A staircase departs from the living room to reach the gallery: here are an office/studio and a single bedroom with many closets and wardrobes.
The two units are next to each other and are only separated by a wall: if interested, a door could be easily opened through this wall to connect the two units into a single ampler dwelling with two terraces overlooking the Cathedral.
