Description
In the heart of North-Western Piedmont, in the quiet borgo of Villanova Monferrato — on the border between the provinces of Alessandria and Vercelli — we are offering for sale a charming property complex consisting of several residential units, an authentic historical testimony deeply rooted in the identity of the territory.
Built in the early 18th century as a noble residence, the building was converted into a nursery school in 1913 at the wishes of Maria Bosso, who dedicated it to her father Pietro Bosso, a patriot, engineer and member of parliament.
A recent renovation, carried out with the greatest care and respect for the historical value of the property, has restored it to its original residential function, optimising its energy efficiency (class A3) and enhancing both the interiors and the garden, which has been restored to its original design and enhanced with a romantic Rose Garden.
At the entrance to the estate, visitors are first greeted by a statue of Maria Bosso, an emblematic figure for the local community: a philanthropist and benefactor, she left an indelible mark with her social commitment.
The garden also features a sacred sculpture, donated in 1953 to the Salesian nuns, testifying to the deep connection between the property and the history of the nursery school.
The main entrance leads to the bright living areas on the ground floor.
On the right is an elegant dining room with a wood-burning fireplace, connected to a finely renovated living room, also equipped with a fireplace. From here, a hallway leads to a guest bathroom and, finally, to a modern kitchen with a refined design. An internal staircase, cleverly fitted into the space, leads to the upper floor, where there is a horseshoe-shaped loft study overlooking the kitchen below through a shatterproof glass railing.
This wing of the house is equipped with underfloor heating and cooling for total comfort.
To the left of the entrance, there is a reception room with frescoed ceilings and a fireplace, which leads to a second bathroom and a second kitchen.
From the building's central core, the historic period staircase leads to the upper floor, where the sleeping area is located. There are currently five generous-sized bedrooms, which can be configured as follows: one triple, one double and one single, or two doubles and one single.
All bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms; three are equipped with hot/cold split air conditioning, while the other two have underfloor heating and cooling, ensuring maximum comfort in both winter and summer.
The entire building is powered by a modern photovoltaic system and is fully electric, although it is equipped for connection to the gas network. All windows and doors are double-glazed with shatterproof glass.
Inside the property there is a second building currently used as a shop, which can be easily converted into a gym, spa or indoor swimming pool, depending on the needs.
There are three newly built bathrooms serving this structure, one of which is accessible to people with disabilities.
The outdoor courtyard, completely paved with interlocking blocks, is equipped with underground sheaths that allow cables or systems to pass through without the need for invasive work.
The garden is served by a drip irrigation system and has two water wells that guarantee self-sufficiency for the maintenance of the greenery.
