Property for sale in Tuscany: house with landscaped gardens near Lucca

A Tuscan-style villetta just minutes outside the medieval walls of Tuscany - this property for sale in Tuscany is a comfortable mix of old and new

This well built three-bedroom, two bathroom house is in the rolling hills to the north of the city. The property is gated and has a professionally landscaped garden with irrigation system and lighting. The three-storey house is surrounded on all sides with covered patios, beautifully tiled with terracotta. The house was built in the past 10 years but every effort has been made to use traditional materials, creating a comfortable harmony between modern technique and historical aesthetic.

There are three doors from the patios to the house, one connecting the front patio to the living room, a second connecting the side patio to the central entry hall and a third connecting the back patio to the kitchen. The easy transition from indoor to outdoor extends the living space to the patios and into the garden. The ground floor is comprised of kitchen, dining room, large central entry hall, bathroom and living room with fireplace. The staircase is located beyond the central entry hall, leading both down to the basement level and up to the first floor bedrooms.

The basement has a family/entertainment room, a study, laundry room and a large storage area. All of the rooms apart from the study have windows. Upstairs on the first floor are two double bedrooms, a very large and sumptuous bathroom and a master bedroom with walk-in closet.

An automatic gate provides privacy and security to the property. A large parking area at the front of the property has space for four cars. A garden path leads up through the gently sloping professionally landscaped garden to the main entrance on the side patio. A covered veranda running the length of the front of the house overlooks the gardens and the surrounding hills. A stone paved driveway leads to the back of the property along one side of the house. Behind the house is a covered parking space with room for two cars.

The neighborhood is beautiful and much sought after, offering the serenity of the countryside just minutes from the city centre. It is a predominantly residential neighborhood, but there are a few shops within walking distance.
