Description
Fascinating villa d’era lakefront residence in Morcote, with residential architecture from the early twentieth century, embellished with original decorative elements and a’timeless atmosphere.
The residence, built in 1910 and designed by the renowned Italian architect and decorator Gino Coppedè, features spacious and bright rooms, with high ceilings, frescoed frames and authentic ornamental details, as well as a charming panoramic view of Lake Lugano.
The propertyà can be purchased also as a second home.
The villa of 4.5 rooms is developed over three levels above ground level, plus an attic floor.
The main entrance is located on the ground floor, where there is also the technical room, a service bathroom and a charming wine cellar with vaulted ceilings. An external staircase leads to the first floor, where the main living spaces are located. Here, a large atrium with a scenic internal staircase leads to the large living room with fireplace, embellished with important heights and original decorations that emphasize its representativenessà. From the living room, there is access to the panoramic lakefront terrace. The level is completed by a habitable kitchen, a bathroom and a courtyard.
The second floor is dedicated to the sleeping area and houses the master bedroom with walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms - both with direct access to the lakeview terrace - and a bathroom.
There is also an attic, which represents an’opportunityà for expansion within the scope of a renovation project.
The interiors retain the original construction features and finishes. The last interventions date back to 1975. Although it is currently in good general condition, the villa needs renovation and modernization to fully exploit its housing potential and restore its splendor.
The house is heated by a pellet stove located in the living room, which is the main source of heat. There is also a central heating system with radiators, which is currently not operational due to the absence of the boiler.
The propertyis completed by 2 uncovered outdoor parking spacesincluded in the price.
The location is just a few minutes from the charming historic center of Morcote, one of the most renowned villages in the Canton of Ticino. The immediate proximity to the water and the tranquility of the surroundings make the house ideal as a main residence or as a refined holiday home.
