Villa , 220 m²

Montelupo Fiorentino, Florens (provins)

Chianti

Valdarno, center of Tuscany
A beautiful two-storey villa surrounded by garden, olive orchard and small forest on its own plot of land. The location is perfect for commuting and tourism: the Firenze-Pisa-Livorno motorway junction is only a few minutes away and by car it takes 20 min to Florence, 50 min to Pisa and 1 h to the sea.

Empoli, the closest city center, has all needed services: a vibrant cultural life, shopping, regional hospital and a well served train station with commuter services to Firenze, Pisa and Siena. The villa is located only 2 km from the artisan center of Montelupo and 5 km from the mid-size town of Empoli.

The villa is a total of 220 sqm (110 sqm registered as living area in the upper floor and 110 livable sqm in the ground floor), and sits on its own plot of 7000 sqm. It is ideally located for those who want privacy just one step away from all infrastructure. The villa has its own gate entrance from the small and quiet public road. 


The villa
The villa itself has a long sheltered terrace on the upper floor and a patio with large doors in front of the lower floor. The house has two floors plus a small studio room on the third floor. On both main floors you will find a hall, study, double living room with fireplace on one side and kitchen / kitchenette on the opposite side, and three bedrooms. The upper floor has a bathroom with shower and a bathroom with bathtub, while the lower floor has a bathroom with bathtub. The lower floor is accessed from the inside of the house and from the outside.

Location and land
The plot is located on top of a small hill and here are olive trees, big old domestic pines (Pinus pinea), cypresses and many different protected and sunny locations - you are comfortable in the summer heat (particularly considering the gentle wind that usually blows in the afternoon due to the elevated position) as well as in the winter cold! Roughly 1/3 of the land of the property is covered in mixed mediterranean wood (mainly Pinus pinaster and cypresses but with an ongoing and quite advanced oak renovation). The location makes for a beautiful view of the whole valley from the terrace on the sunset (depending on how the forest is managed).

Surroundings
The surroundings are welcoming for cycling and walking, and not many cars access the road despite it being paved until the house (it then continues towards the small characteristic monastery of Bottinaccio, but unpaved, so it is not very attractive as a road for passers-by). Vineyards, olive orchards and mediterranean forests are waiting in the immediate surrounding of the property.

Administrative
Several state contributions and deductions are available for property improvement, eg. the 110% state contribution for specific interventions in energy efficiency, antiseismic interventions, infrastructure for photovoltaic systems or for charging electric vehicles, and for improving the electric efficiency, the Ecobonus.

Built year: 1971
Renovations needed: if inhabited during winter the heating system could be renovated, at the moment it is a fully functional but not really efficient oil burner.
The house is connected with municipa electricity, sewage and water.
