Detached house with lake views

In the authentic heart of the historic village of Cressogno, just a stone’s throw from the lake, lies this charming detached house, open on three sides. A place that tells a story whilst offering the pleasure of enjoying the lake every day thanks to its enchanting views. Renovated with great sensitivity in 2025, the property retains its 17th-century charm intact, with original features skilfully restored and enhanced, which blend in perfect harmony with contemporary solutions designed for living comfort. The heart of the home is also sustainable thanks to a Canovi wood-burning Tyrolean stove designed to heat the entire house, creating a natural and cosy warmth. This is complemented by high-quality triple-glazed windows, a fully insulated loft and a modern heat pump boiler, ensuring high energy efficiency. The spaces unfold across several levels, guiding those who live in the house through an atmosphere-rich journey. In the basement, a charming tavern with an original tuff vault evokes the home’s most authentic character. On the ground floor, the living area welcomes you with a lounge and a kitchen-diner that open onto the balcony, where the lake view takes centre stage, whilst the house’s original Lombard terracotta floors add warmth and character to the rooms. Moving up to the first floor, you find the sleeping area with a spacious double bedroom and a charming bathroom, where exposed stone meets modern elements such as the freestanding bath and the hydromassage shower. On the top floor, two further bedrooms offer intimate and charming spaces, featuring exposed wooden beams and stone walls, with antique-finished oak parquet flooring that keeps the house’s historic essence alive. A home capable of stirring the soul, where time seems to slow down and where history, architecture and contemporary comfort coexist in perfect harmony. Ideal for those seeking an authentic retreat on Lake Lugano or a year-round residence, surrounded by an authentic and secluded setting.
