Description
Directly facing Lake Como, and nestled on the shore between the renowned destination of Cernobbio and the city of Como, BHHS Palazzo Estate proudly presents an exclusive and rare waterfront apartment within a prestigious 19th-century historic villa. The estate is complete with a beautiful private park of ca. 1500 sqm (0,37 acre), a boathouse, and a terrace.
The apartment enjoys a privileged setting: facing the waters of Lake Como, it offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes in a highly private context. The apartment is situated within the iconic "Villa Cantaluppi" comprising only selected, exclusive residences. Built in 1852, the villa boasts a distinguished history and features a private boathouse, providing the perfect opportunity to enjoy Lake Como living throughout the year, as well as the beautiful private park.
The apartment, of ca. 290 sqm (3,123 sq.ft) with terraces of ca. 190 sqm (2,045 sq.ft), combines historic charm with modern comforts. The bespoke kitchen is fitted with a double-door refrigerator, gas cooktop, and ventilation system. A striking feature is the expansive floor-to-ceiling window overlooking the lake, opening directly onto the terrace. This outdoor space, newly renovated with wide wooden planks, is ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining, while enhancing the spectacular lake view. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room features a full-height French window that floods the space with natural light and reinforces the connection with the outdoors.
The private lounge with a TV corner, also enjoying lake views, can easily serve as a refined home office. The main living room is a grand, open, and luminous space—undoubtedly one of the apartment’s focal points. Here, an impressive period fireplace, original frescoes, and elegant parquet flooring create a charming atmosphere, complemented by a panoramic balcony overlooking the lake.
A corridor ensures functional separation of spaces. The sleeping quarters include a primary bedroom with lake views, a walk-in closet, an en-suite bathroom, and a terrace. Two other bedrooms and two bathrooms complete the layout. The original flooring presents a refined contrast with the contemporary finishes and furnishings, striking a perfect balance between history and modernity. The property includes three outdoor parking spaces.
Its strategic location allows quick access to the charming town of Cernobbio in ca. 1 minute and the center of Como in ca. 5 minutes. Milan-Malpensa Airport is ca. 45 minutes away, while Milan Linate is ca. 50 minutes, ensuring good connectivity to major international hubs. The Swiss border can be reached in less than 5 minutes, and the highway connections toward Milan or Zurich are also in immediate proximity. This offering represents an extraordinary opportunity: a residence set like a jewel between Como and Cernobbio, within a historic villa of unquestionable prestige, enhanced by renovated terraces and an unparalleled lake view of exceptional value.
