Description

In the historic centre of the picturesque village of Torno, just a short walk from the shores of Lake Como and its renowned amenities, we are offering for sale a charming, spacious detached property, characterised by an atmosphere of rare tranquillity and privacy. The property is spread over three levels and is enhanced by skilfully restored original architectural features, including beautiful Moltrasio stone floors, Lombard terracotta and striking exposed beams, which lend great character and warmth to the interior spaces. The ground floor houses a comfortable master bedroom suite comprising a spacious double bedroom with a large, practical walk-in wardrobe. This level is completed by a room currently used as a study (formerly the kitchen), a second bedroom, a bathroom and a characteristic stone cellar. This floor provides direct access to the beautiful outdoor area belonging to the property. The first floor opens onto a bright and spacious living area with an open-plan kitchen and dining area, designed for perfect family living. On the same level lies the main sleeping area with further bedrooms, each with en-suite bathrooms and charming little balconies. The second floor, in the attic, comprises spacious storage areas with varying ceiling heights and exposed beams, offering excellent potential for customisation and additional usable space. The property boasts magnificent outdoor spaces: a lush private garden, planted with fine species that guarantee blooms in all seasons, and a small, practical stone outbuilding that has retained its authentic character. The garden leads directly onto the large, liveable terrace, an ideal oasis for relaxing and socialising outdoors in complete privacy. The property is complemented by a convenient driveway leading to a private parking space - an exclusive bonus for a property in the town centre. The layout of the spacious interiors and the wealth of period details make this property a versatile and highly prestigious option: ideal both as a stately private residence for a large family and as an exclusive investment opportunity in one of Lake Como's most sought-after and international destinations. 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.
