Villa

Some homes are lived in. Others are truly inhabited. This villa in Bissone belongs to the second category. Four levels overlooking Lake Lugano, a private garden with boathouse, terraces that inevitably become the heart of daily life: the property is designed - in its layout and its setting - for a family that wants the lake as an everyday backdrop, not a weekend destination. The floor plan is generous without being unwieldy. The upper level day area - living room, dining room, separate kitchen, bedroom - opens onto south- and west-facing balconies with direct views over the water. The lower level night area offers three bedrooms and two bathrooms, all with balcony access: enough space for children, guests, and that extra room that always proves its worth eventually. The garden level is where the house becomes most personal: the traditional cantina features its own kitchen and an independent entrance from outside, ideal for informal dinners or entertaining without opening up the entire house. The covered lakefront terrace - convertible into a veranda with sliding glazing - extends outdoor living well beyond summer. From here, the private boathouse and moorings are directly accessible. The location works well for everyday life: Lugano city centre is around 10 minutes by car, local amenities are easily reached, and motorway access is close by. The villa dates from the 1960s, with updates carried out in the 1990s. Whoever purchases today has the opportunity to undertake a considered renovation - redefining the interiors to current tastes and standards, starting from a lakeside position that the market rarely offers twice. The property comprises six rooms across approximately 338 m² of living space, 100 m² of terraces and a 211 m² garden, with an additional buildable area of approximately 100 m². Two single garages, six outdoor parking spaces and a private boathouse with five berths complete the offering. Available for purchase as a second residence.
