RAISED FLOOR, INDEPENDENT ENTRANCE - ROCCA OF PIANCASTAGNAIO

In the heart of Piancastagnaio’s historic center, in one of the most fascinating and suggestive positions, stands this unique residence. The property is located few steps from Piazza Castello and the majestic Rocca Aldobrandesca. The house has characteristics that are almost unique for the medieval center: independent entrance, development on a single floor, high ceilings and large rooms, without load-bearing walls that limit its spaciousness. Crossing the threshold, the surprise effect is immediate: a vaulted brick ceiling intertwined with arches that design an environment with historic and timeless charm. A few steps lead to the living room, a space made airy by two windows and embellished by a particular fireplace. During the renovation, hidden niches were brought to light, transforming into display cases that add character and functionality. The kitchen is equally large, far from being single work space: it is a dynamic environment full of fascinating details. Three walls equipped with a built-in kitchen offer all the necessary space and worktops for those who love to cook, while an open arch connects the working area with the living area, culminating in a second fireplace perfect for cooking and creating convivial atmospheres. The sleeping area is separated by a door and introduced by a corridor with a custom-made wardrobe wall. Here there is a first double bedroom with adjacent bathroom, a second bathroom and a splendid master bedroom, with double windows. A particular effect was created - taking advantage of the height - by creating a mezzanine part of the room so as to obtain an additional surface ideal for accommodating a futon bed or for additional space . The mezzanine is easily accessible thanks to a wooden staircase whose lower part is used as a wardrobe. Finally there is an independent room, below the house, currently used as a storage room with windows and equipped with systems. This room can become a perfect little tavern, a study space or a multipurpose space. This house, thanks to its unique features, enhanced by a skillful renovation, is a perfect combination of history and comfort, a charming refuge in the heart of Piancastagnaio, ready to welcome those who wish to live in an atmosphere full of charm and authenticity without giving up the comfort of a family life that requires large and comfortable spaces.
