Art villa with garden and terrace, in the historic centre of Arezzo

In the most authentic heart of Arezzo, just steps from the cathedral and opposite one of the city’s most distinguished museums, we offer for sale a property of exquisite prestige, where art is breathed in every corner. Indeed, it is the dwelling of an artist, a painter, who found within these rooms, with their subtle play of light, profound inspiration to create her magnificent works. It is a detached residence, fully enclosed and gated, through which one enters a small garden, a veritable jewel, where one may cultivate lovely ornamental plants and linger during the warmest hours of spring and autumn, as well as on cool summer evenings. From there, ascending merely a few steps, one enters the home. One finds oneself in a captivating living room featuring distinct spaces devoted to conversation: a sequence of intimate, secluded salons, graced by an open hearth and a white majolica wood stove. Adjacent to the living room are a dining room and a discreet powder room. With windows looking out upon the blooming inner courtyard, there is the eat-in kitchen, likewise endowed with a grand fireplace where one may cook for one’s guests during the colder months. The courtyard is home to splendid hydrangea plants and may be regarded as a winter garden, complete with its own fountain for watering. Via a striking open staircase, also adorned with paintings and diverse artworks, one reaches the first floor, which accommodates three spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a study opening onto an expansive terrace of approximately 30 square meters. The terrace overlooks the lush garden of the house museum opposite, drawing from it an even greater scenic splendour. One resides in the historic center while beholding the verdant canopy of trees, a privilege both precious and rare. Imparting particular value to the property is the presence of a garage, accessible also from within the garden. Sized for the compact automobiles of bygone days, it lends itself to alternative uses, should one wish to create an additional room adjoining the dining room. This abode is for those who cherish art and history, yearning to live in a historic center that remains vibrant throughout the entire year, rich in restaurants and cafés, with the convenience of being just steps away from a railway station which, through its direct link to Florence, connects one to all of Europe. A true home, to dwell in permanently or to return to after long journeys.
