4 bedrooms villa, 370 m²

Verbania, Verbano-Cusio-Ossola (province)

Lake Maggiore

On the sunny and panoramic hill of Monterosso, in the locality of Suna in the municipality of Verbania, we offer for sale this beautiful Charming Villa with a very particular interior and exterior architecture, which with a skilful renovation could also be completely transformed in its architectural style into a very modern villa, or preserved in its current style, which is in any case of great charm. This is possible as the villa is in an area that is not under any restrictions or limitations of projects and the same has no structural restrictions to the execution of changes.
The area of the villa is about 1200 square metres and the villa itself has a floor area of over 300 square metres plus various terraces, balconies and technical and service rooms. At the driveway entrance to the villa there is a large double garage and a room that could be used as a gym or a service room/changing room with bathroom and shower to serve the swimming pool that could be built in the garden above.
In front of the house there is a garden from where there is a wonderful view of the Borromeo Islands with a raised loggia that could be extended. Above the garage there is a garden area which runs around the house to the boundary. From the terrace above the garage the view is priceless: the Borromeo Gulf with the view of all three islands, the Castagnola hill with the view of Villa Taranto and Villa San Remigio, and a stretch of the lake towards Ghiffa, this is an ideal area to create a solarium with an infinity pool (10x4) built behind it.
In addition, there would remain space for a large gazebo or even the construction of a veranda surrounded by sliding glass windows, thus a truly wonderful pool-house with kitchen and living room.
Underneath the garden in front of the villa, there is another very large single garage (6x3m) and in front of the entrance there is a property area where up to two cars can be parked. Upon entering the villa, one discovers very versatile and spacious spaces, currently characterised by a very particular style. The view from the entrance has great depth, about 20 metres to the fireplace at the end of the hall (about 100 square metres). Again from the entrance on the left, one finds oneself facing a beautiful Bowindows (panoramic window) from which one can see the garden and the Borromeo Gulf, ideal for an elegant reception room. At the end of the living room there is another more reserved seating area, the fireplace area and also a study library area where the staircase leading to the upper floor is located. From the study library there is access to a bathroom that could be extended by adding a shower. Near the staircase there is a large window that transmits great light to the living room, which lends itself to being transformed into a small winter garden with the insertion of plants such as cactus, banana or bamboo. In the evening with lighting from below it will create a beautiful atmosphere in the living room. The ground floor is completed by an area for the kitchen, again with a beautiful lake view, and an area for the dining room, again with a lake view.
The outdoor area next to it is currently equipped as a barbecue area, but it could be transformed into a ‘secret garden' with a fountain and ornamental plants, or it could become part of a very large kitchen. Next to the current barbecue area there is a characteristic grottino, a small wine cellar that is very special, beautiful!
On the ground floor there is also a large laundry room near the kitchen area and the technical room with the house installations.
Going upstairs we find the sleeping area of the villa, which has 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, the three double rooms are very large and bright and all enjoy a lake view. The master bedroom is already equipped with a wall wardrobe and can have a large walk-in wardrobe that faces the lake, as does the double room next door. In front of these two rooms it would be ideal to remove the roof pitch and create a very large terrace with a breathtaking view. The third double room has a lake view and also a large view of the future swimming pool. There is also another single room with a view of the future swimming pool area which could also be used as a study/small gym/wardrobe, from this room, this room access a bathroom with a Jacuzzi tub.
On this floor we find another bathroom that currently has both a bathtub and shower in which a large area with a double sink and mirrors could be installed. The villa enjoys a privileged exposure with sunshine from dawn until dusk. The walking distance to the lake of Verbania Suna is about 10 minutes and the road leading to the villa is private and car circulation is minimal. The Monterosso hill is the most sought after area because of its sun exposure and its priceless panorama.
The villa is in need of updating/renovation even though it was lived in until a year ago and the systems are all in working order, in particular the boiler is only a few years old and the roof was redone a few years ago and is in perfect condition. The living floor would need the floors to be levelled and two portions of the walls to be knocked down in order to fully enjoy the large spaces.
The company selling the villa has already carried out an extensive study on the potential renovation, both in a conservative version of the current state and in an ultra-modern version, also taking advantage of the extension granted of approximately 50 square metres. The company would make available to future purchasers, if interested, the documentation in its possession that has been studied by a structural engineer, architect and interior designer with a feasibility study, also three-dimensional, and a preliminary project.
The selling company also, we are informed, has long specialised in advising its clients on renovation processes: from the identification of professionals and their coordination to the selection and process control of construction companies and craftsmen for finishing.
This villa is a unique opportunity in an area where there are no more building areas and it is almost impossible to find beautiful properties for sale. It is a guaranteed investment for the future on the hill of Suna, which unlike the area of Stresa and Baveno enjoys sunlight 12 months a year from dawn to dusk and is close to a built-up area with all services open all year round.
