Casa al Fiore Country Houses - Restored in Lucca

This beautiful full-time family home which is being sold due to relocation of jobs.  It has been restored over the last 2 years by its interior designer owner.  The property is just 15 minutes drive south of Lucca and has full car access as well as private parking.

The house is set on a traditional Lucchese courtyard that is well kept and completely gravel.  The rooms are laid out on three floors with a cottage feel to it.  The entrance is down a couple of steps into the living room.  The living room is equipped with a modern wood burning stove and has a french door leading out to the garden, patio area and pizza oven.  The kitchen has been designed to look like a tradional country kitchen with a small pantry under the stairs.  There is a study and a full bathroom on the ground floor.

The stone stairs are actually marble lined and lead up to two double bedrooms on the first floor.  The second floor has the master  bedroom and the family bathroom.  There is also a quiet room on this floor with a love seat and library.

The entire house is dual aspect making it lovely and light at all times of the day.  The garden is well-positioned and completely fenced with permission for a 4 x 7 m swimming pool.  The patio area is particularly attractive as it has the pizza oven and a luxury gazebo umbrella to be included in the price.  There are some attractive nooks for storage in this area as well as the laundry room.

The house is sold with full permission to extend by 48 mq as there was a barn to the western side of the property that can be rebuilt and connected by internal doors to the original house.

The property enjoys views of the Medieval Hamlet of Castelvecchio di Compito and is just a short walk from a Nature reserve.  This being said, the property also has a restaurant and small shop within walking distance.  

The house is very well positioned as it is just 40 minutes drive from the beach and 30 minutes drive from Pisa International airport.
