Grandate | A Private Residence Just Outside Como
Just a few minutes from Como, in a peaceful residential area of Grandate, this detached villa retains the distinctive character of elegant 1980s architecture, with exceptionally spacious interiors, original materials and a private garden surrounding the property.
Designed and built as a family residence, the villa offers approximately 395 sqm of living space on a single level, complemented by an upper attic floor and a generous basement. Much of the original interior detailing has been preserved, although the property requires some major maintenance and modernisation, including the replacement of the roof.
A broad external staircase leads to the main entrance, opening onto a thoughtfully arranged interior with a clear distinction between the living areas and private quarters.
The living room is distinguished by its pitched, timber-lined ceiling, rising to approximately five metres at its highest point. Terracotta flooring, a fireplace and large openings overlooking the garden create a spacious and inviting setting, with ample room for both seating and dining areas.
A separate eat-in kitchen, with direct access to the outdoors, completes the living accommodation. The private quarters comprise three bedrooms and three bathrooms, all conveniently arranged on the same level.
Upstairs, the attic floor accommodates a study, a guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a dressing room and additional ancillary spaces, together with a secluded terrace.
The basement level, extending to approximately 400 sqm, includes a tavern-style entertaining room, laundry facilities, several utility and storage rooms, and a double garage. This substantial additional space provides considerable flexibility for household needs, storage and personal interests.
Outside, the private garden surrounds the villa, complemented by covered terraces and outdoor seating areas that offer opportunities to enjoy the grounds throughout the day in a peaceful and private setting.
The villa requires a complete roof replacement, for which an indicative quotation of approximately €100,000-€120,000 is already available. The interiors, which largely retain their original finishes, can be updated to suit the preferences of the new owners while preserving the architectural character and existing layout of the residence.
This property will appeal to buyers seeking a substantial detached home who appreciate the qualities of its original architecture and are prepared to make an additional investment beyond the purchase price, both for the necessary works and any desired interior modernisation.
Conveniently located within easy reach of central Como and the motorway connections to Milan and Switzerland, the villa offers a private residential setting without compromising accessibility.
