Description
This elegant Villa from the late 19th century is located on the road that leads to the Consuma pass on the border between the provinces of Florence and Arezzo and, more precisely, between the Val di Sieve and the Casentino.
The Villa is located in a dominant position a few steps from the town of Borselli, a hamlet of the municipality of Pelago, in the province of Florence, and is spread over two floors above ground for 375 m2. commercial.
The architectural style is typical of the Villas of the time, built on the basis of principles more in line with functionalism, with a new aesthetic ideal that made use of simple geometric shapes in opposition to the excessive ostentation of the previous, much more sumptuous Rococo style and full of frills. The sober and functional style is also repeated inside, where the original division of spaces is still very current today and in line with modern living. On the ground floor, a large entrance hall introduces us to the large living room with an important fireplace with pietra serena frame and two French windows with exit to the park. We then find the dining room, the kitchen with fireplace and pantry, the study, a storage room and the service bathroom. A beautiful stone staircase leads us to the upper floor which houses 4 large bedrooms, a study and two bathrooms. On the attic floor, spacious attics extend for 70% of the surface of the floor below. The Villa is surrounded by a fully fenced 11,000 m2 park with a panoramic Belvedere, inside which there is a garage of approximately 20 m2. The strong point is undoubtedly the light that enters thanks to the large windows present in every room. The Villa is in good conservative conditions from a building point of view, while the systems need to be reviewed. Ideal investment as a first home given the proximity to the city of Florence, but also as a second home for holidays or seasonal rentals. The property is easily reachable by all means of asphalted provincial road.
Borselli is located at 738 m. above sea level, a small cluster of houses on the road that leads to the Consuma pass at 1,050 meters above sea level, the northern border between the provinces of Florence and Arezzo and more precisely between Val Di Sieve and Casentino. The area is famous for its production of excellent wines, vineyards and olive groves as far as the eye can see, which as you climb towards the top give way to oak and chestnut woods. An evocative route
where ancient abbeys, medieval castles and old farmhouses enrich this beautiful area of Tuscany with history, a destination for activities and food and wine events especially in the summer period.
