Remarkable historical character, set over two floors with light-filled interiors , period charm, private garden, for sale in Castellina in Chianti. Positioned within walking distance of the boutiques and enotecas of Castellina in Chianti, this residence is a quintessential example of the "Stately Villa" that defined the Tuscan countryside during the late 1800s. The architectural narrative of the villa is immediately established by its imposing façade and its elegant grounds. Consisting of a significant portion of a grand villa dating back to 1850, this property offers 318 square metres of living space arranged over two levels. The primary access to the living quarters on the first floor is via a classic late-nineteenth-century stone staircase, complemented by a handmade wrought-iron balustrade. A secondary entrance is found through the garden via an original wrought-iron gate. This outdoor space is characterized by a private courtyard shaded by the sweeping canopies of mature trees, providing a discreet transition to the ground-floor rustic rooms and cellars. The interior distribution is exceptionally light-filled, a result of the property’s unique vantage point occupying the entire first floor with windows on all four sides, ensuring a constant play of light throughout the day. The current configuration comprises two formal living rooms, a dedicated dining hall, kitchen, pantries, and a study, alongside four bedrooms and a bathroom. While the property has been maintained in good condition, it offers a superlative canvas for a bespoke contemporary restoration. There is significant potential to reconfigure the layout to incorporate additional en-suite bathrooms and modern kitchen amenities, aligning the historic volume of the Piano Nobile with the standards of modern luxury living. The ground level remains dedicated to the villa's historical functional roots, featuring three rustic rooms which open directly onto the private garden. These present an ideal opportunity for transformation into a temperature-controlled wine gallery or a hobby room and a living space. Rarely for a property located so centrally within a historic centre, three private outdoor parking spaces are also included.
