Description
In the heart of the picturesque village of Bee, just a few minutes from Verbania and the shores of Lake Maggiore, stands this charming period villa built in the early 1900s, which has preserved intact its original charm and architectural features.
With approximately 240 sqm of commercial area spread over three levels, the property is a perfect blend of tradition and modern comfort.
On the ground floor, the entrance opens onto the central staircase around which the entire layout of the house is arranged. On one side there is a welcoming, bright double living area; on the other, the dining area with a separate kitchen. All rooms on this floor overlook the wonderful garden and the lake, creating an atmosphere of great tranquility.
The first floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom, as does the second floor, which mirrors a similar distribution of space. Both the ground floor and the first floor are enhanced by balconies and small terraces with lake views, allowing you to fully enjoy the panorama.
Adjacent to the house is a functional covered structure, currently used as a storage area for garden tools and a woodshed, but easily convertible and adaptable to other uses, such as an elegant gazebo or outdoor relaxation area.
In the basement there is a large cellar.
A particularly charming detail is the romantic lemon house, located beneath the main terrace, a reminder of the past and the property’s historic character.
The villa is in excellent condition, thanks to a recently completed renovation that has preserved the building’s authenticity and original appeal.
The well-kept, private garden offers an ideal setting for relaxation and socializing; a terraced section also allows parking for one car. It is also possible to build a swimming pool, adding a further element of comfort and prestige to the property.
The location is especially convenient: in the center of Bee, with main services within easy reach, while Verbania and the shores of Lake Maggiore are only a 10-minute drive away.
In the hilly area of Verbania lie the villages of Bee and Premeno, between 600 and 800 m above sea level, yet only a 20-minute drive from Intra and Pallanza. These attractive hill resorts enjoyed strong growth in the early 1900s, when the area became known as “the children’s paradise”: many holiday colonies were established here and numerous villas were built to host the families of industrialists and the wealthy Milanese bourgeoisie, who came to spend their vacations here, leaving Brianza to move to Lake Maggiore. One of the most important villas from this period is undoubtedly Villa Bernocchi, now a venue for literary awards, exhibitions and concerts, set in a beautiful park owned by the municipality.
