Nestled on the edge of a quaint village, this delightful country home in Chitignano, Tuscany offers a glimpse into serene rural living amidst the picturesque Green Hills of Casentino. Built in 1921 by a trio of civil engineer brothers, this stone house stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and family heritage. It was lovingly updated with earthquake-proofing in 2000, adding an extra layer of safety and peace of mind for its residents.
Stepping through the entrance, you are greeted by a warm and inviting kitchen with an adjacent dining area—perfect for those cozy family meals or gatherings with friends. The kitchen corridor guides you to various parts of the house: a spacious living room with a charming fireplace that grants access to the tranquil garden sits to the right, a bathroom can be found straight ahead, and a staircase leading to both upper and lower levels on the left.
Upstairs, you’ll discover three well-appointed bedrooms alongside a bathroom, offering ample space for family living or visiting guests. The basement expands the living area even further with two additional rooms featuring windows, which have been utilized as bedrooms in the past. Here, you'll also find another bathroom and a boiler room that manages the building’s services efficiently.
This country home, serving primarily as a holiday retreat for its current owners, exudes potential for buyers seeking a peaceful haven away from the city's hustle. Despite its solid condition, there’s still the possibility to update the central heating system as the pipeline for methane gas has already been conveniently laid up to the entrance gate. This small upgrade could provide enhanced efficiency for those cold Tuscan winters.
