Historic stone house with garden near Lucca

Of ancient origin, this charming detached courtyard house preserves the character of Lucca’s rural architecture, with its distinctive Guamo stone façades and numerous elements of Tuscan tradition. One side of the property faces the road, with direct pedestrian access, while the main entrance is reached through a characteristic arch leading to the courtyard and electric gate. Beyond the gate is a completely enclosed outdoor area, with a large garden extending into the land behind the house, creating a picturesque and private setting. A veranda also provides a pleasant outdoor space to enjoy during the warmer months.

The house is arranged over three floors, connected by a characteristic stone staircase with a wrought-iron railing. The interiors retain an authentic Tuscan atmosphere thanks to the terracotta floors, ceilings with wooden beams and terracotta tiles, and arched openings with brick details. On the ground floor, the terracotta flooring is complemented by the comfort of underfloor heating. Solar panels are also installed on the roof.

The entrance leads into the large eat-in kitchen, the convivial heart of the home, divided into a dining area and a relaxation space, with a fireplace and direct access to the outdoors. A guest bathroom with shower is also located on this level.

The first floor houses the bright master bedroom and a room currently used as a walk-in wardrobe, which could also serve as a single bedroom or study. A passage integrated into the fitted wardrobes leads to the bathroom, equipped with a whirlpool bath and two windows.

The second floor contains two further bedrooms: a double bedroom with an electric fireplace and a versatile room, currently furnished with two foldaway beds and also equipped with a fireplace. The floor is completed by a windowed bathroom with shower.

The top floor provides access to a spacious attic, approximately the same size as the habitable floor below and featuring the traditional roof structure with wooden beams and terracotta tiles. This substantial ancillary space is ideal for storage and offers further potential for enhancement, subject to technical and planning verification.

The property is completed by two ancillary buildings, including a characteristic two-storey barn. The outbuildings also contain a wood-fired oven and a well, and could offer interesting opportunities for restoration and reuse, to be assessed with a qualified professional.

A property rich in history and authenticity, combining the charm of an ancient Tuscan home with welcoming interiors, generous outdoor spaces and interesting potential for enhancement.
