Carate Urio, Como, Lombardy, Italy

Call for investors!

This intriguing detached house, dating back to the glorious '30s but completely renovated in 2005, is located in the vibrant Carate Urio (western bank of Lake Como), a few steps from the lake.
Reachable only on foot, the house features the utmost of privacy thanks to the extensive park (about 840 sq.m) which surrounds it: you won't here any noise here except for the birdsong and the lovely sound of seagulls from the nearby pebbled beach!

In the upper side of the park, in particular, one could potentially study the realization of a wonderful panoramic pool.

Internally, the versatile layout offers accommodation over three levels: perfect for hosting a large family, or for rental purposes!

The ground floor (about 100 sq.m) is completely independent and comprises an entrance hall, a bright living room with fireplace, dining room, a fully fitted wooden kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one with tub and one with shower).
From here you have the direct access to the lovely courtyard and pergolato (perfect for chilling in the summer days), the BBQ corner (just perfect for alfresco dining with friends in the summer days!) and the spectacular multi-levels garden. Here, an ancient Japanese red maple stands in all its silent majesty.

The sunny first floor comprises a large living room with fireplace and 180° lake view from the balcony, a stylish checkered kitchen, bedroom, laundry corner, and fully fitted bathroom with tub.

From this level, the internal staircase leads to the welcoming penthouse, which now is an inviting open space with fabulous exposed wooden beams, skylights that flood the room with light (making it a perfect reading/study room), a romantic bathroom with Jacuzzi, and a convenient storage.
The "emotional hub" of this level is by no doubts the large panoramic window of the loggia, framed but the slopes of the roof: a real painting which simply invites you to sit down and unwind while admiring the stunning scenery out there!

A cellar is included in the sale.
Flooring with tiles and hardwood floors.

The romantic village of Carate Urio is located just 9 minutes drive from Cernobbio and the upscale Villa D'Este Golf Club, 20 minutes drive from the attractions of the central lake and just 20 minutes drive from the highlights of Como city.
Carate is just 45 minutes from the main airports, like Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate, and from Lugano (CH).

We are the most and best reviewed real estate brand of the area online: our clients' words are the best proof of the quality of our work.

We are a team of locals: we know our beloved Lake just perfectly.
This means, first, that we know the local property market backwards and forwards. We have a wide portfolio of prime properties for sale, and we constantly have an eye for opportunities also thanks to our capillary network of synergies with local agents, private owners and builders; this significantly increases the probability of finding the best property for you, and decreases the time needed to do it.
Second, that we could spend hours in talking about our Lake: chat with us and you will be surprised to hear the genuine passion we have when we describe the history of our villages, or when we share insights about locations, or again when we suggest you how to best enjoy Lake Como life. We particularly love to explain to our clients the unique soul of each single area of our territory: we believe this is an incomparable added value that only a native company like ours can provide.

"Local vibes. Global minds", our tagline speaks clear: our distinctive feature is the ability to combine a sound know-how of the area with a marked international vocation, the latter proved by our multiple partnerships with businesses in Sweden, US and several countries abroad.

Our headquarters are located on the West Coast of the Lake (the sunniest and the one with the strongest international charme), in three of the most vibrant crossroads of global buyers: Menaggio, Argegno and San Siro.

Sales-related services, property management, financial assistance, renovation and project management: the range of services we offer is one of the most comprehensive on the local market.

Our team is young and smart, and this basically means three great soft skills: our extreme flexibility; our steady energy and proactivity; and our passion for digital storytelling, that leads our investment in professional photo and integrated marketing campaigns.

Our mission is to help who really loves our place find the retreat they deserve.
