Description
A few steps from the town centre of Stresa, in a dominant but at the same time reserved position, you will find this liberty style residence built in 1875 from which you will enjoy a magnificent view over the Borromeo Gulf. The 2014 renovation has restored the villa to its original magnificence, maintaining precious details such as the high ceilings with suggestive stucco, the marble staircase, the mosaic or wooden floors and the original fixtures.
A private road leads to the main villa on 4 floors, for a total of about 800sqm, with a magnificent outside staircase made of white Carrara Marble and to the dependance for the keepers or guests. On the ground floor there is a large living room with a working fireplace of the period and restored original details, a library, a beautiful veranda with stunning panoramic views and a glass floor that allows a view of the room below. There are also a kitchen, a dining room, an office and a guest bathroom. All the rooms are characterised by high ceilings of about five metres, decorated with stucco work. The first floor includes the master bedroom with access to the large panoramic terrace and three other bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom, two of which have a Jacuzzi. The second floor, characterised by the presence of original exposed beams in bleached wood, hosts an independent flat with a large living room with kitchenette, two bedrooms with bathroom and a particular room in the tower. The property is completed by a large basement of about 150 sqm. The villa is surrounded by a park with rare plants, fountains and a small lake. If you are looking for a historical villa, with timeless beauty, this is the house for you.
