DESCRIPTION OF THE APARTMENT

The apartment (91 sqm – 979 sqft), reachable via elevator, is located on the fourth and fifth floors of a beautiful historic palace. The main door opens up into an ample living room with an open-space kitchen and a bathroom. A staircase leads to the upper floor into the master bedroom with bathroom and a nice balcony offering a beautiful view over Palazzo Vecchio and Santa Maria del Fiore Cathedral. It is interesting to note how the restoration has been carried out with the aim of bringing the apartment up to the most modern standards: the choice fell on last-generation high-efficiency systems and a net of sound-proofing materials embedded in walls, ceilings and floors, so that total relax can be achieved in every moment of every day, shielded by noises coming from the streets or other apartments.

The apartment shares a wall with APPARTAMENTO IL MAGNIFICO (Ref. 1887)  and the two units could be purchased together and joined into a single ampler residence.
