4 bedrooms villa, 300 m²

Moltrasio, Como (province)

Lake Como

Lake Como, Moltrasio – Casarico area (about 2 km from the lake): In a commanding and secluded position, with an unparalleled view of the lake, stands this early 20th-century villa immersed in the greenery of a lush and quiet garden of approx. 1,000 sqm. Originally the residence of a cultured professor of Latin and Greek—writer and violin player—the home is rich in soul and history, preserving the materials and atmospheres of the period: Moltrasio stone and Lombard terracotta floors, coffered ceilings and verandas with large windows.
Inside, two mandalas painted on the ceilings lend a symbolic and meditative aura to the main rooms, while a large stone fireplace dominates the entrance hall, flanked by two sculpted niches representing the masculine and feminine principles—a metaphor for the harmony that permeates the entire house.
The villa is arranged over four floors plus an attic and is composed as follows:
Ground floor:
The entrance leads through a spacious living room with fireplace to a large lounge opening onto a panoramic terrace overlooking the lake.
Adjacent to it are a small kitchen, a dining room, a glass-enclosed veranda, a bathroom and a storage room. All rooms are bright and enjoy enchanting views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
First floor:
This level hosts a study and two very bright bedrooms, one of which is a master suite featuring a triple-arched window, private bathroom and walk-in wardrobe.
Second floor:
An independent and self heated space accommodates a guest apartment consisting of: living room with kitchenette, bedroom, bathroom and two terraces that open the perspective toward the lakeside landscape. Beautiful views also extend toward the city of Como.
Basement floor:
The lower part of the villa includes two cellars, one of which—very atmospheric with its vaulted ceiling—is used as the current owner’s painting atelier; the other is suitable for storing wine and aging cheese. A wood-fired oven and a veranda are also present. With external access, there is a woodshed that connects via a trapdoor to a cistern originally used for collecting rainwater.
A large attic completes the property.
This residential unit is a home of great character, where each floor tells a different shade of life and each window captures a fragment of light over the lake—a truly charming residence.
The property also includes a double garage with electric door, an outdoor parking space and an elevator serving down to the basement level of the villa.
This section is of recent construction, following the creation of a driveway access to the property, obtained through the acquisition/transfer of a right of way.
