Situated in the hills of Colleramole, a short distance from Florence, this manor house was part of the former ‘il Melarancio' estate. It was originally built as a Sienese watchtower in the 15th century. During the Second World War, it housed numerous displaced families when it was part of a working farm and has recently been transformed into a charming retreat.The entrance leads to a large living area on two levels, which includes an eat-in kitchen, a dining room and a sitting room with fireplace. The interior of the dwelling is cosy and spacious, with the Impruneta terracotta flooring lending warmth to the living area. The finishes in pietra serena underline the authenticity of this dwelling, as does the staircase that leads to the upper floor, where we find a large living room with fireplace, perfect for sharing special moments or devoting time to study, and three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom.On the attic floor there is also an equipped attic and a stone cellar accessed from the monumental frescoed entrance.The outdoor area of approximately 2,500 square metres is embellished by a charming pergola and a wood-burning oven ideal for moments of serenity in the open air. From the property one can also enjoy a marvellous view of the Florence Charterhouse, the Duomo and the entire city of Florence.This ancient yet modernly equipped residence offers the tranquillity of the countryside just a few kilometres from the historic centre of Florence. If you are looking for a peaceful home in the beautiful hills of Florence, at the gateway to the Chianti region, this property is the ideal option.
