Description
In the characteristic village of Brunate, located above the town of Como and connected to it by the convenient and characteristic funicular railway, we find this charming period villa located a few minutes’ walk from the town center and the funicular railway station.
The villa was renovated about twenty years ago adapting it to today's needs but maintaining the old flavor and part of the original building finishes.
The ground floor consists of an entrance corridor, a large living room and a library room - both with a fireplace, a spacious kitchen and a service bathroom.
A convenient marble staircase leads to two upper floors and the basement.
The first and second floors are used as sleeping areas, with no less than 7 large bedrooms, one of which is located in the villa's characteristic turret, and two bathrooms.
From the sleeping area there is a beautiful view towards Lake Como and towards Monte Rosa and the Swiss Alps.
The basement is set with a spacious tavern, a hobby room, a cool and dry wine cellar and the technical room with the heating plant.
The property is surrounded by a beautiful flat garden of approximately 1,500 square meters; a spacious garage completes the property.
Brunate, known as the Balcony on the Alps, not only offers suggestive panoramic views of the city of Como, the first basin of the lake, the Alps, the Lombardy plain and the Apennines, but also offers hikers and mountain bikers a variety of excursions. The villa is located a few hundred metres from the village centre and the funicular railway station connecting Brunate with Como and on the carriage road connecting the two locations. The property is approximately 50 km from the dynamic and fashionable city of Milan, 40 km from the cosy and safe city of Lugano, a couple of hours' drive from renowned Alpine ski resorts such as St. Moritz, St. Gotthard or St. Bernardino, and is easily accessible from the main airports in northern Italy and neighbouring Switzerland.
