Lake side Villa with garden and lake views

This beautiful period style Villa was built in the beginning of the 20th century. In one of the top locations of Lake Como, in the picturesque lake side village of Laglio, home to iconic historical residences, such as Cloony’s Villa Oleandra. Located below the property is the small bay beach “Riva del Tenciù,” knowns for its crystal water and ideal for a dip in the lake during hot summer days. The villa was partially renovated a few years ago, but still features many of the original features such as flooring and the facades. The property has a spacious garden of about 450 sqm and that surrounds the villa with an outdoor patio, as well as two parking spaces inside the plot. Upon entering the Villa, you are welcomed with a cosy hallway and living area, boasting a prominent antique working fireplace, paved with Tuscany parquet (Versailles model). In this level there is also a master bedroom with a walk- in closet, a fireplace and beautiful views of the garden and the lake, as well as a guest bathroom. From the living room there is also spacious balcony facing the lake. Down a few stairs, the current owner has decided to create a vast kitchen-diner area, which is the beating heart of this home. A country style fully equipped kitchen with an island and fireplace, as well a rustic wooden dining table for six, renders it perfect for hosting friends and family. This area has two French doors that open to the garden in front of the Villa and from the side. Here you can also find a breakfast patio that provides another charming outdoor space. On this level, there is also an independent unit with one bedroom and bathroom, and a bedroom with a smaller lateral terrace. This space can be used as a rental unit or for guests. The first-floor hosts three bedrooms and two bathrooms while the second floor in the attic level, currently not used as habitable space but a laundry room and storage area, however subject to the proper permits, it could be possibly converted to living space due to the high ceilings. The very large basement divided into three cantina areas is currently under renovations and can house bicycles, water sports equipment and even a small boat. The access to the basement can also be reached from the front of the house, practically on the lake front. The property is ideal for anyone looking to spend relaxed vacations in a lake side location close to all the amenities of the area and the city of Cernobbio and Como. Although the property is more adapted as family home, it can also be ideal as an investment property for touristic rentals.
