Apartment in Carate Urio with garden overlooking the lake
In the heart of the charming village of Carate Urio, just a few metres from the shores of Lake Como, lies this exclusive, fully self-contained apartment on the ground floor of an elegant 1940s villa comprising just three residential units. The property has undergone a recent and complete refurbishment that has successfully combined the charm of period architecture with the very latest living comforts. The interior spaces open onto a bright living area, ideal for relaxing, flanked by a separate, fully functional kitchen. The sleeping area offers three comfortable bedrooms and two elegantly finished bathrooms. Adjacent to the kitchen is the charming veranda, a versatile space currently used as a study, which offers an intimate and secluded atmosphere. The real highlight of the property is the private garden, which features a delightful private arbour – the perfect spot for enjoying the outdoors whilst admiring a beautiful, romantic view of the lake. The property, which guarantees maximum privacy and tranquillity, can be reached on foot via a short, picturesque flight of steps from the nearby municipal car park, combining the convenience of local amenities with the magic of living just a stone’s throw from the water.Two spacious cellars complete the property. Carate Urio is a splendid village on the western shore of Lake Como, adjacent to Laglio, the village where George Clooney's villa is located, and to Cernobbio, home of the prestigious Grand Hotel Villa d'Este. Carate Urio is about a ten-minute drive from the Como Lake motorway exit, on the Milan - Lugano route. From here, both cities can be reached in about thirty minutes by car. The international airport of Milan Malpensa is about a thirty- minute drive while the city of Como is about ten minutes. The public bus service is very convenient with a stop next to the house for sale; thanks to the bus service the towns of Argegno, Menaggio and Como are easily reachable as well as the Como San Giovanni international railway station. Carate Urio is also well connected by ferryboat to Cernobbio, Como, Bellagio and Menaggio, thanks to the Navigazione Laghi transportation service.
