DV-12707,  Apartment in Siena

 

 Siena, 80 sqm completely renovated in 2022 in a building from 1942. We are in one of the most well-served and requested areas of Siena, which offers the perfect balance between proximity to the historic center and ease of parking and exit towards the main communication routes. The apartment is set in a charming building from 1942, with the typical exposed brick facade and wooden shutters that recall the authentic aesthetics of Sienese villages; however, the property hides a completely regenerated soul inside. In 2022, the house was subject to a radical intervention that managed to preserve the historical character while updating every technological and living standard. Crossing the threshold, the visual impact is dominated by the warmth of natural materials. The true architectural protagonist is the ceiling: exposed wooden beams, rafters, and terracotta ceiling tiles offer generous heights and that intimate atmosphere that only period houses can provide. This rustic charm dialogues perfectly with the new light wood-effect porcelain stoneware floors, a choice made to guarantee impeccable resistance to daily use. To the left of the entrance opens the living area: the kitchen and the lounge are separated by a large white arch, a solution that creates a sense of open space while maintaining the right privacy between the dining area and the relaxation area. The living room is enriched by a modern pellet stove which, besides being a piece of furniture, guarantees efficient heating. The kitchen is practical and linear, with contemporary wall tiles that contrast pleasantly with the ancient layout of the ceiling. The renovation included the complete and certified overhaul of the electrical and plumbing systems. Whoever purchases this house chooses the peace of mind of a solid 1942 structure, combined with the security of a newly delivered home. It is a "turnkey" investment, where it is not necessary to plan any maintenance work for years to come. Along the corridor, we find the two double bedrooms. They are wide-breathing rooms, capable of easily hosting large wardrobes and study corners. The main bathroom has been renovated with modern taste, but the real strategic surprise is found at the end of the corridor: here, the preparation for a second bathroom has already been made. A detail that allows adding a restroom or an indoor laundry room in just a few days of work, increasing the value of the property. A detail that makes a difference in the quality of daily life is the external technical room. Located in the external part of the property, this space was designed to house the washing machine, the dryer, and everything that usually clutters the bathrooms or the kitchen. A solution that guarantees an extremely convenient laundry management.
