Ponsacco Via Goldoni 3 MIN: Apartment "Il Caminetto" A swallow does not make a spring, but a fireplace makes a home. (Anonymous) The fireplace is a state of mind, that small slice of bliss hidden in its flames .....a hot coffee, a good book, an icy wind that cuts the air while the fire crackles in the fireplace, winter is the guardian of simplicity! Designing my house I would ask for three things, a lot of light, a separate kitchen and a fireplace, and to those who told me "But the fireplace steals space" I would answer yes, but it gives emotions! Yes, this wonderful apartment will give you a thousand emotions once you cross the threshold; "The fireplace". Located in one of the most sought-after areas of Ponsacco, in a pleasant and reserved residential context, "Il Caminetto" is a recently built apartment maniacally cared for by its owners, a house maintained with such attention that it is now practically like new, ready to be lived without worries and without those jobs that too often turn the purchase of a house into a long list of things to do. Access is directly from the private courtyard and as soon as you enter you immediately perceive the true soul of this house; the living area is large, bright and perfectly organized, on the one hand the space dedicated to relaxation gathered around the beautiful fireplace, the undisputed protagonist of the room and capable of transforming a normal winter evening into one of those moments that we would like to never end, on the other hand the dining area with the kitchen, a convivial space designed to live the house every day and not just to look at it. And it is precisely from the dining area that the house still surprises, because the interiors naturally continue outwards and open onto the large private garden, a space to be enjoyed for a good part of the year, perfect for a dinner with friends, a birthday party, children's games, a dog finally free to move or simply to enjoy an outdoor coffee in the early days of spring; a paved and covered part allows you to comfortably arrange table and chairs creating a real summer dining area, while the remaining part of the garden offers space and privacy, completed by a comfortable wooden house, ideal for storing bicycles, tools and everything we don't want to have between our feet inside the house. But "Il Caminetto" is not only beautiful to live in, it is also surprisingly generous in space; through the hallway we reach the sleeping area where we find three bedrooms, a feature that is increasingly difficult to find in recently built apartments, the double bedroom is large and welcoming with a large wardrobe capable of solving every space need, the other two rooms can become rooms for children, study, guest room or space dedicated to one's passions, because a really comfortable home must be able to change together with the family that lives there. The bright bathroom is complete with a bathtub; the rooms are harmonious, natural light accompanies practically the whole house and the care with which the apartment has been maintained can be perceived in every room. Outside, the laundry room is precious. Then there is that fireplace......... For some it will simply be an element of the house, for those who can already imagine a winter evening, the low lights, the sound of crackling wood and the whole family gathered around the fire, it will probably be the reason why this house will be impossible to forget. Because the square meters can be measured, the rooms can be counted, the garden can be photographed; the feeling of finally being home, that not. And perhaps this is precisely why we have called it "Il Caminetto".
