Description
A stable becomes an architectural masterpiece that combines history and modern living comfort
Right in the heart of the picturesque Maggia Valley, in the idyllic village of Someo, stands this extraordinary Ticino house - a former stable that today presents itself as an architectural jewel. Here, traditional craftsmanship and contemporary architecture merge into a harmonious unit.
The renovation, carried out with great attention to detail, has preserved the authentic character of the original rustico while integrating elegant, modern elements. Granite, wood, glass and metal characterize the appearance and give the house its unmistakable style - a perfect balance of history, design and comfort.
As soon as you enter the massive wooden door, you can feel the special atmosphere of this house. The entrance area with granite floor and the preserved, old stable door tells of the past and welcomes with a successful mixture of tradition and present. A cleverly integrated wall niche offers storage space for coats and shoes.
The bedroom, facing south, is flooded with light and quiet. Directly adjacent is the stylish bathroom, whose walk-in shower is made entirely of granite - an experience as if under a natural rocky outcrop.
A granite staircase leads to the spacious living area, where the living and cooking area merge into an open, warm room concept on around 53 m². The oak wood floor, four large windows and the play of light and shadow give the room a special atmosphere. The modern kitchen with dark fronts and granite worktop blends perfectly into the overall picture - elegant, functional and high-quality.
A second granite staircase with glass wall and metal railing leads to the upper floor, which exudes cosiness with visible wooden beams and sloping ceilings. The room is ideal as a guest room, studio or retreat for creative moments.
The terrace is a highlight: it nestles against a vineyard and offers space for convivial evenings or quiet hours with a view of the surrounding mountains. The traditional granite table in the open air invites you to linger - a place where Ticino unfolds its original charm.
The property can be purchased as a second home. Public parking is available directly in front of the house, and the nearest bus stop is just a two-minute walk away. The cities of Locarno and Ascona can be reached in less than 30 minutes - ideal for those who appreciate peace and originality, but do not want to do without comfort.
This house in Vallemaggia is more than just a property - it is a piece of Ticino history that has been reinterpreted with sensitivity, style and attention to detail.
A place where past and future, craftsmanship and architecture, peace and joie de vivre are in harmony.
