In the Italian countryside between Siena and Florence, near the historic medieval village of Monteriggioni, is a renovated rustic farmhouse currently up for sale.
This splendid country home is priced at €790,000 (approximately $853,000 USD). So not an affordable place for the average Joe ex-pat, but nonetheless lovely to look at.
The Tuscan region can get quite hot in the summer so the homeowners have built an exquisite covered loggia so you can wine and dine al fresco.
The Italian real estate listing does not give a whole lot of details (such as number of bedrooms and bathrooms, or age of the bulding), but have a look inside…
The stone and brickwork inside are impressive. Perhaps the defining feature of this home is the preserved chimney tower in the middle of the structure.
The living area features warm terracotta tiles and a soaring ceiling open to the mezzanine upstairs.
Off the great room is a small European-style kitchen.
Notice the impressive barrel-vaulted ceiling in this room.
On the upper level, there are at least 2 bedrooms and one bathroom, although the master bedroom is not pictured in the listing photos.
We only get to see into a child’s room… which is positively adorable!
The bathroom on the upper level has a huge handsome beam visible in the raftered ceiling.
Sea-green floor tiles and a tiny arched window complete the charming space.
The house measures in at 200 m2 (approximately 2,150 square feet).
The property the home is situated on is an impressive 2.5 acres of manicured gardens, accessed by a country lane with an electric gate and video intercom system.
If you have the cash, this would be a fabulous private family getaway in the legendary Tuscan countryside!
