Panoramic penthouse in "Villa Astrid": 360° of light, architecture, and uniqueness

In the heart of the city of Varese, within the unmistakable "Villa Astrid," an extraordinary work by architect Luigi Vermi, we exclusively offer for sale a penthouse on the fifth floor, a rare residential solution for its location, architecture, and unique panoramic view. The building, recognized for its original octagonal layout, represents one of the most iconic contributions to Varese's architecture, combining design creativity and a strong connection with the landscape. The apartment, approximately 110 square meters, welcomes us with a generous entrance that leads to a harmonious and functional distribution of spaces. The living area, located on the left side, includes a kitchen, a large living room with a fireplace, and a bathroom. The lounge, characterized by large glazed surfaces, is the heart of the apartment: the view flows freely towards the panorama, flooding the space with natural light and creating an open and airy atmosphere. The sleeping area, located in a secluded part of the house, includes two bedrooms and a second bathroom, ensuring tranquility and comfort. One of the most fascinating elements of this property is the presence of a continuous balcony that wraps around the entire perimeter of the penthouse, providing a rare and spectacular 360° view. The view ranges from Sacro Monte to Campo dei Fiori, reaches the Monte Rosa chain, embraces Lake Varese, and glides over the city's rooftops. Completing the property is a 21 square meter rustic attic on the sixth floor, above the apartment, where an additional living space can be created and customized according to personal tastes and needs. The property still retains original details that speak of Vermi's era and design style. The possibility of undertaking a renovation offers the chance to reinterpret the penthouse in a contemporary key while maintaining the architectural character that makes it unique: a space that can be transformed into a modern, refined, and personalized residence in every detail. Also available to the property is a 96 square meter unit on the basement floor, accessible by elevator, consisting of a large open space and a recently built bathroom, ideal for multiple uses. This space, customizable, can become a studio, a gym, a tavern, a multipurpose room: an ideal extension of the main residence, perfect for work, hobbies, or moments of conviviality. Further enhancing the property are a cellar and two garages, one double and one single: exceptionally available accessory spaces in the heart of the city, increasing its prestige, convenience, and uniqueness. The "Villa Astrid" building represents one of the most recognizable works of Luigi Vermi, a protagonist of 20th-century Varese architecture. His daring geometries, attention to light, search for new forms, and aim to integrate living with the surrounding environment have made it a reference point for the city. His ideas, also collected in the famous drawings and studies on the Varese landscape, testify to an innovative and deeply respectful approach to the territory. Located in the city center, the apartment ensures immediate access to services, schools, shops, public transport, and the entrance to the A8 motorway. Despite the central location, the building's height and its particular architecture make it a secluded place, distant from the typical condominium context. Living in this penthouse means residing in a place of historical and architectural value, a city icon destined to maintain its uniqueness over time.
