Historic villa with panoramic view

In a dominant position on the hills in the immediate vicinity of Laveno, stands this historic residence dating back to the beginning of the 20th century. The characteristic façade with wooden decorations and interiors with original flooring and frescoed ceilings give it character and charm. From the entrance gate, a cobbled driveway leads to the property. The main door, adorned with wisteria in bloom in spring, introduces us to the ground floor, which is divided into a living room with fireplace, kitchen with another imposing fireplace decorated in Art Nouveau style and large coloured wrought-iron windows overlooking the garden, as well as service rooms. Also on the floor is the guardian's quarters, with two other rooms, which also have independent access from the outside. The large stone and wrought iron staircase invites us to the upper floors, where we find two flats with two bedrooms, bathroom, kitchen and living/dining room. On the first floor, at the end of the corridor, there is a small panoramic balcony, from which to admire the surrounding hills and a picturesque view of Lake Maggiore, as well as a wooden and glass veranda overlooking the rear of the property. All the rooms, except the eat-in kitchen with fireplace, are adorned with frescoes and original period cement floors. The park, well planted and traversed by walkways and stone walls, extends around the villa and could accommodate a swimming pool. The property is completed by an independent building on the side to be used as a multiple garage, hobby room and storage room. The villa is in need of renovation to bring it back to its former glory and, if necessary, can be divided into several units.
