Casa para comprar en Pisa, Toscana

Just outside the medieval walls of Pisa, in a quiet residential area, a design villa designed by architect Gae Aulenti. Easily accessible from the city road, the property (450 sqm, 5 bedrooms) is within walking distance of all necessary services and a ten-minute walk from Piazza dei Miracoli and the Leaning Tower of Pisa. The 2,500-sqm garden surrounding the building is well-maintained and fully fenced, guaranteeing privacy and security. The services are all available in the immediate vicinity and can be easily reached on foot, and Pisa's historical center is less than a kilometer away on foot. The city hospital is also reachable in about 10' by car from the villa. Leaving Pisa, Florence can be reached in about an hour and a half and the most renowned centers of the Tuscan coast (Marina di Pisa, Viareggio, Forte dei Marmi...) in less than half an hour. The villa (450 sqm - 4,842 sqft in total) is on two levels plus a small basement cellar, ideal for storing wines at a controlled temperature. On the ground floor (400 sqm - 4,304 sqft), the house opens onto the living area, comprising an eat-in kitchen, living room with large fireplace, reading room, private study, service bathroom and winter garden. The sleeping area, reached via a corridor with built-in wardrobes, instead houses three bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms. The remaining part of the floor is reserved for service rooms that include the laundry, boiler room and a storage room with access to the building's systems. From the outside there is also access to a convenient storage room where garden tools can be kept and the control room for the artesian well pumps. The first floor (approx. 50 sqm - 538 sqft) can be used either as part of the main house or as an independent apartment with direct access from the garden. Currently the second option has been chosen and the unit consists of a living room with kitchenette (convertible into a bedroom) and exit to the terrace (20 sqm), bedroom and bathroom. Outside, not far from the main entrance, a shed attached to the villa allows two cars to be conveniently sheltered. The building was designed and constructed in 1973 by architect Gae Aulenti, the only example of his work in the whole of Tuscany. The building's solid brick walls ensure maximum privacy for the tenants, and the presence of few windows (which are nevertheless carefully positioned so as to always let in light) is amply compensated for by the large skylights that allow light to flood all the rooms from above. The living room, in particular, is an immense double-volume hall lit by windowed slits open into the ceiling. The skylights are all fitted with insulating double glazing and an automated covering system. The original finishes chosen by Aulenti are still in place, carefully maintained by the current owners, as is the custom-made furniture that is an integral and indissoluble part of the villa as originally designed. Heating is achieved via fan-coils, which can be controlled independently from each room to ensure the optimum temperature in each area at all times of the year. in terms of security, the building is equipped with an alarm featuring infrared sensors and cameras.
