6 bedrooms villa, 545 m²

Introbio, Lecco (province)

Elegant Villa in the Hills - Lake Como
We offer for sale a historic residence in the heart of Valsassina, at 600 meters above sea level, in the center of the town of Introbio. The villa is approximately 17 km from Lecco and about twenty kilometers from the most renowned locations on the eastern shore of Lake Como (Bellano 20 km; Varenna and Dervio about). The location is strategic: it takes less than 30 minutes by car to reach the shores of the stunning Lake Como, and the cable car that leads to the Piani di Bobbio and ski slopes is less than a 10-minute drive away. The exclusive property has the charm conferred by its long history and, thanks to a wise and complete renovation carried out at the end of the 1980s, preserves its original characteristics. Upon entering the house, it is easy to be seduced by the warm and welcoming atmosphere that each room offers. A special sense of antiquity envelops us like a hug, and it almost seems as though, magically, time unexpectedly slows down to grant serenity, calm, and quiet. Here, the hustle and restlessness are forgotten, leaving them irrevocably outside the door! The house, which has recently been used as a B&B, is spread over three floors. On the ground floor (approximately 140 sqm), one enters the spacious entrance hall dominated by a magnificent fireplace, previously used as a reception area to welcome guests. From here, you access the large living room, also dominated by a big fireplace, which then leads to the large eat-in kitchen. On this floor, there is also a bathroom and the technical room (approximately 25 sqm). In this area, the staircase leads to a small apartment (approximately 55 sqm) consisting of two large hallway rooms, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. Returning to the room at the entrance, on the ground floor, one accesses the first floor (approximately 120 sqm), consisting of hallways, two spacious bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a storage room. Through the characteristic stone room that connects all the floors of the building, you reach the second floor (approximately 120 sqm), where there are two other large rooms with a balcony, hallways, two bathrooms, and a storage room. The top floor is extremely charming: a single large open-plan attic space (approximately 110 sqm) characterized by a beautiful exposed roof. Here, the kitchen is open to the living room. In the attic area, there is also another bathroom and a romantic little terrace with a view of the surrounding mountains. In the basement, there is a spacious cellar of about 50 sqm with a height of 3.15 meters. Completing the property is a large double garage (45 sqm), built in 1987, with access from the municipal road. A staircase leads to the magnificent private garden, where there is a storage shed of about 15 sqm. The front garden, of approximately 1000 sqm, is flat, kept as a lawn, and rich in plants, shrubs, and flowers. There is also a small vegetable garden. The property, as a whole, is in good maintenance condition. As for the finishes, there are high-quality flooring, wooden window frames with double glazing, wooden doors (some particularly valuable, as they are the result of a careful search by the owner in the antiques market). The rooms are spacious and bright. The heating and hot water are powered by pellets with a very recent system. There is an alarm system. It is possible to access the garden by car and/or mechanical means. The adjacent land is buildable (volumetric index 0.8 mc/sqm). This real estate solution is suitable for various purposes: as a residential or holiday home, for a single family or multiple families, or as a hospitality and/or catering establishment (the municipal hygiene regulations allow this). We recommend this property to those seeking charming real estate solutions full of history, to foreign clients looking for a vacation home in Italy, to those searching for an important, independent house but not isolated, and to those who need quick access to the main cities.
