Description
In Galbiate, in a quiet location in total privacy, we find a unique dwelling that enchants with its unique view of Lake Annone and the surrounding mountains. This exclusive property, dating back to the end of the 19th century, was totally renovated in the 1990s by the current owner who, with extreme care and dedication, has followed every detail, giving it a unique style for a country chic house set in a comfortable, bucolic and relaxing atmosphere.
The main building, with an L-shaped floor plan, has three living levels, occupies approximately 550 square metres and the rooms are punctuated by grey beola stairs, Lombardy terracotta and parquet floors, and exposed beams in solid chestnut and bleached oak. On the ground floor, we are greeted by a spacious entrance hall, living room, large kitchen with vaulted ceilings and a bright dining room for moments of refined conviviality; the floor is completed by a laundry room, a bathroom and a wine cellar that has been skilfully refurbished. The sleeping area, which guarantees space and privacy for each guest, is reached by an internal lift or external stairs and consists of three master bedrooms with en-suite bathroom and whirlpool bath, a double bedroom with bathroom, a billiard room and two lounges. To the side of the main residence, we have a second property, a former barn, which is spread over two floors of approximately 100 square metres with a first level comprising a living room with kitchen, bathroom and a sleeping area with two attic bedrooms and a bathroom with tub. The outdoor spaces are equally charming and attractive with large porches, panoramic terraced spaces, and cobbled courtyard areas. Heating is provided by two methane boilers, the windows and doors are made of wood with double glazing, and security is guaranteed by video surveillance and perimeter burglar alarm systems.
Immersed in a hilly area of about 30,000 square metres, surrounded by various plants such as olive trees, chestnut trees, beech trees, oaks and aromatic plants, the solution represents a perfect combination of good living and comfort.
The privileged, dominant and quiet position, the unparalleled panoramic view for sunrises and sunsets over the lake, the quality of the renovation and the finishes make this a unique solution for living in a charming environment at a short distance from the cities of Lecco, Como and Milan.
