Description
In Morcote, in a prime lakefront location, we offer for sale a charming patrician house from the early 1900s with direct views of Lake Lugano, set in a context of particular scenic and historical value.
Building with fine finishes in the period of construction with stucco and frescoes, it is located in a renowned area with a tourist vocation, well served by infrastructure and services: stores, grocery stores, post office, schools, restaurants and bars are within easy reach. Major shopping centers are also about 5 km away, while Lugano is about 9 km away and can be reached in 15 minutes by car.
The municipality is well connected by public transport, thanks to the postbus lines, and the Melide train station can be reached in about 10 minutes.
The house has 3 floors above ground plus an attic (loft) and features fine historic architecture, with traditional masonry facades, natural stone elements, arched porticoes, balconies and terraces facing the lake.
GROUND FLOOR:
Atrium/entrance hall, technical room, large vaulted wine cellar.
FIRST FLOOR:

PLANTS AND EQUIPMENT:.
- Heating: pellet stove in the living room.

MAINTENANCE STATUS:
The property is in good overall condition, with considerable scenic impact and a strong architectural identity, embellished with historical elements of great value and charm. However, some renovation work remains to be done. The original construction features and period finishes give the property an authentic, distinctive and timeless character.
However, renovations and modernization are planned, aimed at further enhancing the property and bringing it up to contemporary living standards
Due to its location, type and architectural uniqueness, the property represents a rare opportunity for connoisseurs and lovers of historic residences, looking for a charming residence directly overlooking the lake. The prime landscape setting, open views of the water and surrounding mountains, together with the authentic charm of the patrician home, give the property an exclusive and timeless character
