In the heart of the Comuni Medicei, land of whine and olive oil, Carmignano is a charming village situated on the gentle hills of the province of Prato. The villa is located 2 km away from Carmignano, yet it’s not isolated. It was finished in 1974 and restored in 2001 (the basement and the roof-space). The house is composed of a ground floor which includes: 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, dining room and living room area, big open-plan area. In the sitting room there’s a fireplace equipped with a heat pump which releases the hot air produced by the wood. The floorings is made of parquet, the compartments are very well-lighted and the fixtures are handmade. The roof space has an independent access on the back of the house (in any case it’s connected to the ground floor thanks to an internal staircase, yet this access is currently closed with plasterboard) and is composed of 1 bedroom, 1 sitting room with kitchenette and 1 bathroom. Lit up by 7 big windows, this area was restored in 2001. Thus, the electrical system, the bathroom and the flooring date back to 2001.
Although in this flat there’s a kitchen, this part of the property is not registered as independent flat at the land register so it’s not considered an indendent apartment. On the same floor of the mansard there’s a roof-space broom closet.
The basement (connected to the ground floor by means of a staircase), was partly restored in 2001 (part of the electrical systems and the flooring. The latter has been lowed to make the other areas habitable according to the applicable rules. However, some of these areas are not habitable yet, because of insufficient air-light relation. The basement floor is composed of a basement room with fireplace and cotto tile flooring.
There’s also a big area, once used as garage and now used differently (with single-fire flooring); 1 bathroom (no window), 1 wine cellar, 2 storage-cellars, another room overlooking the back garden, currently suitable for becoming a kitchen. The ground floor is surrounded by a 3-side portico with cotto tile flooring and a bbq fireplace.  There’s also a small walkway useable as parking space.
