Riverfront New York Loft in Tuscany

APARTMENT DETAILS

2,228 square feet (207 square meters)
Open space
2 bathrooms

A New York-Loft-inspired open-space apartment positioned adjacent to the wild Sieve River. This apartment is perfect for an artist or musician who wants inspiration from Tuscany but wants to avoid the chaos of living among crowds of tourists in Florence. Unlike other lovely rural villages surrounding Florence, Pontassieve has a direct train line to Florence’s city center. You can leave your front door in Pontassieve, and in half an hour, you will be walking on the streets of Florence, never facing traffic. The current owners reconstructed this apartment from the remnants of the previous factory structure. The owner, an architect by trade, was inspired by his experience living in New York City to take on the reconstruction project. He expanded the windows to expose the picturesque Sieve River below and the Ponte sulla Sieve bridge (commissioned by the Medici family), which can be seen clearly through multiple windows. With this apartment, your open windows display views worthy of paintings. The sound of the river below provides lovely background noise that rests your mind. The apartment retains a sandbox design that allows whoever takes on the project to transform the space however they want: the open space has ten internet hookups and a chimney prepared for commercial kitchen use.
