Situated in the exclusive setting of Carate Urio, a short distance from Como and with excellent transport links to Milan and Switzerland, this prestigious period property overlooks the lake, offering complete privacy and unobstructed views of the water and the Pre-Alps. The property complex, covering a total area of approximately 560 square metres, comprises an elegant 440-square-metre main villa spread over several levels, served by an internal lift, and a separate 120-square-metre guest house.
The exterior is enhanced by a well-tended garden of approximately 400 square metres, the highlight of which is the beautiful swimming pool with a teak and natural stone sun deck overlooking the lake directly. Terraces paved with terracotta and herringbone brick offer spectacular outdoor living spaces, ideal for moments of relaxation and socialising surrounded by the tranquillity typical of the lakeside setting.
The interiors of the main villa are characterised by a high degree of stylistic consistency and high-quality finishes, notably the chevron-patterned parquet flooring. The ground floor houses the living area, comprising a living room with a strong historical character dominated by a monumental fireplace in carved white marble, an elegant dining room with a skylight and an arched window, a kitchen with direct access to the service areas, and a library with a unique atmosphere, enhanced by a full-wall carved walnut bookcase offering picturesque views of the park’s nature. Completing the floors dedicated to socialising is a characteristic basement with a wine cellar.
The upper floors, easily accessible via both the staircase and the lift, feature four spacious bedrooms with double views of the lake and five bathrooms thoughtfully distributed across the levels.
Rounding off the property, the detached 120 m² guest house features its own terrace and independent access: a fully self-contained solution, ideal for guests, staff or for use as a separate residence alongside the main house.
The private access, complete with two convenient parking spaces, lends practicality and exclusivity to this refined residence on Lake Como.
