The basement level is divided into 4 areas, a cellar with solid-wood furniture and fireplace, a large storage area, a wine cellar and a bathroom.
Second Villa
The villa, recently built, has been integrated architecturally with the main villa, and comprises an entrance which opens into an extremely bright open plan area with living room and Varenna by Poliform kitchen, which provides contemporary comfort in contrast to the period finishings of the main villa.
A glass partition with state of the art sliding doors gives a feeling of ‘infinity’ with the terrace overlooking the lake from which you can take in the view of the mountains and the sky reflected in the water.
The sleeping area on the top floor comprises the master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a glass partition with a breathtaking view of the lake and two further double bedrooms with a bathroom. In the basement there is a relaxation area with sofas and a fully-equipped gym, with bathroom and hydrotherapy pool, with direct access to the garden.
Also on this floor there is also a laundry room, another barbecue area and a large utility room with access to the technical area.
The property also comprises a large garage of 25 sq.m on the ground floor of the second villa, a courtyard which connects the two villas and could be used for parking and direct access to the lake, with a little beach, dock and shelter for private and exclusive trips.
State and finishes
The main villa retains the original features from the 1950s, which have recently been carefully looked at and restored. The beautiful, period parquet floors, the original window fixtures and the carefully chosen retro-chic lighting elements give the property a unique charm.
All the bathrooms and appliances have been restored.
The second villa has been recently built with high-quality materials and is a little gem on the banks of the lake.
External spaces
The two villas are surrounded by 1.480 sq.m of private, landscaped grounds, with flowerbeds, tall, indigenous trees and Japanese maple trees, through which there is direct access to the lake.
Use and potentiality
The property is one of the only ones with this lakeside view and is ideal as a main residence or a second home, with the possibility to rent it out to Italian or foreign guests looking for short-term holiday rentals.
