Elegant 19th-century villa

Strategically located just a short walk from the town centre and Malnate station (FNM Ferrovie Nord Milano), we are delighted to offer for exclusive sale this charming villa dating back to the first half of the 19th century. This historic residence retains important period features, including the turret and roof adorned with medieval-inspired Ghibelline swallowtail merlons. The property is arranged over two harmonious levels and represents an excellent investment opportunity, thanks to the possibility of customising the finishes and rooms to suit personal taste, restoring this residence of great historic character to its former splendour.

The property is accessed via both a pedestrian and vehicular entrance through a beautifully maintained, planted private garden enhanced by period decorative details. Upon entering the ground floor, the living area opens through a convenient hallway onto elegant and welcoming rooms. There is a spacious sitting room with fine leaded-glass window shutters featuring coloured glass, a dining room with separate kitchen and external access to the rear of the property, and a second distinctive English-style sitting room, perfect for entertaining and creating a highly elegant conversation area, with direct access to the outdoor patio and garden.

At the top of the first flight of the splendid marble staircase is a small bathroom serving the living area. The internal staircase leads to the first floor, entirely dedicated to the sleeping quarters. This level comprises four comfortable, bright and generously sized bedrooms, positioned to ensure maximum tranquillity, served by two bathrooms. There are also two further large rooms and access to the spacious terrace overlooking the greenery.

The property is completed by a turret, with a small hallway leading to the attic; a ground-floor room currently used for storage, providing access to the rear, where a chicken coop was once located; a utility room on the semi-basement level; and two large cellars.

The generous floor area, high ceilings and evocative historic character make this villa the ideal blank canvas for a carefully planned renovation, capable of enhancing the building’s historic charm while combining it with the highest standards of contemporary comfort. Further enhancing the property is its excellent location: just a few steps from Malnate railway station, the villa offers fast, daily connections to Varese, Milan and the nearby Swiss border.
