Description

Set in an elevated, secluded position, just a few minutes’ pleasant walk from the enchanting shores of Lake Varese and with wonderful glimpses of the surrounding scenery, this detached villa is an opportunity for those who wish to combine the peace of nature with the immediate convenience of the town center. Built in the 1950s, the home preserves intact the solid architectural character of the period, offering an enviable viewpoint that ranges from the picturesque town center to the calm waters of the lake. Beyond the charm of its privileged location, the true luxury of this property lies in its extraordinary potential. The villa in fact benefits from significant remaining buildable volume, offering the exclusive possibility of being raised and structurally modified to create spaces of outstanding visual impact. The building already has an excellent, solid base structure, enhanced by recent technical upgrades such as the replacement of the window and door frames with double-glazed PVC units and the installation of a modern condensing boiler. To help you fully grasp this immense flexibility, we have enhanced the presentation with dedicated renderings: visual impressions designed to project the house into the future, showing how, with targeted interventions on an already sound and well-conceived structure, an authentic masterpiece of contemporary design can be created. The interior spaces, harmoniously arranged over two levels, invite you to imagine a serene, light-filled everyday life. The main floor opens onto a hallway that leads to a living area flooded with natural light, the true beating heart of the home, enriched by a large fireplace that brings warmth to the room and in constant dialogue with the outdoors thanks to direct access to the panoramic balcony. Adjacent to the sitting room, a comfortable separate eat-in kitchen completes the living area, while the sleeping area includes a master bedroom, two additional bedrooms, and a windowed bathroom with a bathtub. Going down to the lower floor, the property reveals a valuable independent entrance that opens onto extremely versatile spaces: a spacious taverna—now reimagined as a welcoming guest bedroom with en-suite bathroom—a practical laundry area, and the technical rooms. Framing this oasis of peace, a lush level garden surrounds the entire property, creating the ideal setting for moments of absolute relaxation and outdoor living in total privacy. Completing this exclusive offering are a useful tool shed, a large double garage with electric up-and-over door, and a generous courtyard that can comfortably accommodate four additional cars. Whether you are looking for a primary residence for your family or an enviable weekend retreat, this villa is the perfect blank canvas on which to shape the home of your dreams.

Location: Gavirate, Lombardy

Lake Varese, located at the foothills of the Varese Prealps at an altitude of 238 m above sea level, is known for its distinctive shoe-like shape. It borders nine municipalities: Varese, Azzate, Bardello, Biandronno, Bodio Lomnago, Buguggiate, Galliate Lombardo, Cazzago Brabbia and Gavirate. The latter was for a long time the main municipality overlooking the lake, before the Municipality of Varese acquired a large portion of the shoreline, so much so that the lake was known as Lake Gavirate. Together with Lake Maggiore, Lake Comabbio, Lake Lugano, Lake Ganna, Lake Ghirla and Lake Monate, it is part of the so-called Seven Lakes of the Province of Varese. The lake is also renowned for its excellent rowing racecourse, a sport widely practiced in the province. Milan Malpensa and Lugano-Agno airports are about 30 minutes away. The shores of Lake Maggiore can be reached in 20 minutes by car.
