Como, Como, Lombardy, Italy

In Casnate con Bernate, just a few minutes from Como, we are offering for sale a beautiful period villa of approximately 400 square metres, surrounded by a centuries-old park of over 6,000 square metres, in an elegant and secluded residential area. Access is via an imposing wrought-iron gate and a picturesque driveway leading to the property. The villa stands out for its historic details, such as the stone pillars and the portico overlooking the private garden, and is very bright thanks to its excellent aspect. The spacious outdoor areas also offer the possibility of building a swimming pool or a tennis court. The basement comprises utility and service rooms, a laundry, storage areas and a large garage; on the lower ground floor there are three characteristic cellars. All levels are connected internally by a staircase.
The ground floor features an elegant entrance hall, two spacious living rooms, a hallway, a cloakroom and a guest bathroom. The first floor comprises the main living area with a kitchen-diner, a dining room and two bright living rooms, as well as a large west-facing terrace of over 100 square metres, ideal for al fresco dining and socialising. The first floor is dedicated to the sleeping quarters, comprising four bedrooms and a bathroom. The villa is heated by a gas-fired system with radiators and features several fireplaces distributed throughout the various rooms. Distinctive features of the property include the high ceilings, some decorated with original frescoes, and the large windows that bring light and charm to every room. The strategic location, close to Milan and Lake Como, makes the property ideal as a permanent residence or holiday home. The villa requires renovation, with great potential for historical and architectural enhancement.
