This is a beautiful recently restored two storey country house situated in the heart of the Chianti countryside at 700 meters from the small town of Strada in Chianti, 17 kms from Florence and just a ten minute drive from the 18 hole Ugolino golf course. The property is in an enclosed garden with a lily pond and a swimming pool and there are spectacular views over the countryside. The building’s original structure is a typical Tuscan country farmhouse and dates back to the 18th Century.
The main door opens onto an ample entrance hall that leads to a large living/dining room, a guest bathroom and an elevator. The living/dining room has a working fireplace at one end and glass doors leading to a huge terrace at the other end. Next to this room is a state of the art kitchen with a window opening onto the dining area.
Stairs to the upper floor lead to a second living room, also with a working fireplace and three double bedrooms and three bathrooms. There is a studio with a sleep sofa that can be converted to a fourth bedroom and an ensuite bathroom.
The house is furnished with a delightful mixture of real antiques and modern pieces – comfortable sofas and bright fabrics. The many windows lend a natural light to all the rooms.
