Torno, Como, Lombardy, Italy

In Torno, in an elegant, well-maintained historic setting, we are offering for sale a spacious apartment of approximately 180 m², situated on the first floor of a prestigious Art Nouveau villa built around 1928 and comprising just three residential units.
The apartment is accessed via a private terrace of approximately 30 square metres and opens onto a spacious entrance hall which elegantly leads into the living areas: a kitchen-diner, a living room with a fireplace, a sitting room/study, three bedrooms and a bathroom with a shower.
Some of the spaces are divided by non-load-bearing partitions, allowing for easy reconfiguration of the layout to suit your living requirements.
The original finishes dating from the villa's construction era lend it a refined bohemian charm: wide-plank parquet and terrazzo flooring, marmorino plaster in the corridor, and a French-style frosted-glass French window that discreetly separates the living area from the sleeping area. The windows and doors, replaced around 15 years ago, ensure a good level of thermal and acoustic insulation.
The property also includes a parking space in the ground-floor garage, a garden shared with the ground-floor apartment, and a storage room used as a laundry room, which is also shared. The garden, equipped for al fresco lunches and dinners, is adorned with a lush vine that bears bunches of grapes in autumn, creating an authentic and charming atmosphere.
The villa itself is particularly charming, built in the Art Nouveau style and adorned with graffito decorations on the façade - an ornamental technique typical of historic residences in northern Italy. This architectural detail, combined with the exclusive and secluded setting, lends the property an authentic and timeless character.
The charming village of Torno is located on the shores of Lake Como, on the eastern shore of the first Como basin; it is situated on a promontory called Montepiatto (610 msl) which offers a fantastic view of the lake, being in a raised position not far from the opposite shore, in one of the areas where the shores are closest.
This village, which today has just over 1000 inhabitants, has ancient origins and, as is typical of the Como area, boasts a centuries-old tradition in the textile sector. In the historic centre, the churches, houses and typical restaurants offer a special atmosphere suspended in time. Torno, with its fantastic panorama and beautiful landscape, is an ideal location for nature lovers and lovers of romantic places: the hinterland can be discovered on the various paths, while the lake offers water sports enthusiasts a wide range of possibilities for recreation.
The pretty shoreline of Torno has a charming little harbour, from where boats and ferries depart daily for other places on the lake. Como, only 10 km away (about 20 minutes by car) offers a lively atmosphere thanks to its numerous clubs, cinemas, theatres and museums. Milan and the airports of Linate and Malpensa are about an hour's drive away (approx. 58 km), as is the Swiss city of Lugano and its regional airport.
Winter sports enthusiasts will be interested in the relative proximity of the famous resorts of St. Moritz (CH), Madesimo, Bormio and Livigno, which can be reached in two to three and a half hours by car, depending on the destination.
