3 bedrooms apartment, 180 m²

San Gimignano, Siena (province)

There are houses that offer a beautiful view. And then there are homes that give you every day one of the most iconic panoramas of Tuscany: the medieval towers of San Gimignano, framed by vineyards, olive groves and gentle hills. This is one of those rare properties. Immersed in the tranquility of the countryside, it is located in a privileged position just 4 km from San Gimignano, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a few minutes from Certaldo, a charming medieval village and birthplace of Giovanni Boccaccio. Florence is about 50 km away, Siena and Volterra 35 km. The international airports of Florence and Pisa are reachable in approximately one hour and slightly more than one hour respectively. The home is part of an ancient stone farmhouse, carefully restored in 2000 in respect of Tuscan rural architecture and its original charm. The accommodation, of approximately 160 sq m entirely distributed on the first floor, offers spacious, bright rooms and rich in authentic architectural details. It comprises an elegant entrance hall, a large living room with original fireplace, dining area, kitchen, three bedrooms, main bathroom, second bathroom and storage room. On the ground floor complete the property some spaces of great charm and versatility: a large room (Sq. 20) with splendid cross-vaults in brick, ideal as a professional studio, atelier, summer kitchen or guest space; a suggestive loggia with original ancient wood-burning oven; a private paved courtyard in terracotta of about 60 sq m, perfect for lunches and dinners outdoors. The house retains the most authentic elements of Tuscan tradition: original floors in handmade terracotta from the 19th century, chestnut beams, terracotta cornices, plasterwork made with natural materials and a magnificent original fireplace, heart of the living area. One of its strengths is the possibility of living in the Tuscan countryside without the commitment of maintaining a large garden. The private courtyard offers, in fact, a reserved and easily manageable outdoor space, ideal for spending pleasant moments outdoors. The property is suitable as a primary residence, second home or investment for those who wish to live or spend long periods in the heart of Tuscany. The real privilege is the panorama: from the windows the gaze opens onto the towers of San Gimignano, the vineyards of Vernaccia, the Tuscan hills and up to the profile of Certaldo Alto, giving every day a different and always exciting scenario. Here you do not simply buy a property, but the possibility of living an authentic Tuscany: walking through the vineyards, buying wine and oil directly from the producers, visiting medieval villages and returning in the evening to admire the sunset over the towers of San Gimignano. For over 28 years I have accompanied Italian and international clients in the search for their home in Tuscany, offering personal assistance, professionalism and transparency in every phase of the sale. I will be happy to accompany you to the discovery of this splendid home. Roberta Carlucci Carlucci House in Tuscany Energy Performance Certificate: F EPI: 135.12 kwh/m2 year
