2 bedrooms historic apartment, 55 m²

Gambassi Terme, Florence (province)

Chianti

Immersed in a landscape context characterized by green hills, stone streets, cypress trees and woods, Gambassi Terme has over the years become an increasingly popular tourist destination, starting since the Middle Ages when it was stop-over place for travelers and pilgrims along the Via Francigena. In this wonderful location, in a building of 300 A.D. with a Tuscan exterior all in stone-face, I’m selling a nice apartment of about 55m2 overlooking the street inside Gambassi Vecchio of the Via Francigena.. Fully renovated (about a year ago) in an excellent way with high quality materials. The apartment is accessed by stairs situated at the first floor, shared with another apartment, the property is composed of an open kitchen / living room, two large bedrooms, a laundry area and a large bathroom.
Internal Details The Tuscan original structure has been supported with bricks and wooden beams, however, some original walls of the house, have been left exposed. The wooden window frames are the authentic ones, restructured with double glazing. The lighting is designed to enhance the beams with hidden spotlights, strategically placed on the floor to highlight the parts of stone and brick.  The typical Tuscan kitchen is perfectly in line with the character of the apartment, with wooden beams at sight  and the cupboards made ​​of cedar wood.  The bathroom has also wooden beams at sight, where the internal part of the shower, the suspended sink and the mirror frame are derived from old oak barrels. The apartment offers the possibility for a small fire place/wood stove, as there is the installation for a chimney. Places of Interest
