Art Nouveau Villa in the centre of Erba
In the heart of Erba, on a quiet, secluded street, stands an Art Nouveau villa dating from the 1920s. With a generous floor area of approximately 480 square metres spread over four levels, the property offers an opportunity for those wishing to personalise a historic home, restoring it to its former glory. The property is distinguished by the layout typical of the early 20th century and by the presence, in various rooms, of the original period flooring. Access is via a glass-fronted veranda leading into the ground floor living area. This level comprises a kitchen-diner, an elegant dining room, a cosy living room and two further versatile rooms, ideal for use as a home office or guest bedroom, as well as a practical guest bathroom. The first floor is reached via an original staircase in perfect Art Nouveau style, leading to the sleeping quarters. Here there are four spacious bedrooms, two of which feature their own private balconies, whilst a large, liveable terrace overlooks the surrounding nature. Three bathrooms complete the floor. Continuing upwards, one reaches the second attic floor, currently unfinished, which comprises six rooms to be freely customised, offering the opportunity to create a relaxation area or additional bedrooms. Finally, the basement houses a characteristic tavern, perfect for social gatherings, and a spacious wine cellar. The villa is surrounded by a beautiful private garden, a true oasis of tranquillity in the heart of the city, enhanced by the convenience of a double driveway. Featuring a radiator heating system, original window frames, wooden floors and period tiles, this timeless residence represents an investment opportunity for enthusiasts seeking a central location and independence, or for a professional looking for a prestigious space.
