Villa 3 sovrum, 160 m²

Menaggio, Como (provins)

Comosjön

If you are looking for an escape from the daily routine, this lovely property is the perfect place for you.
This recently renovated house is located in a real and literally, fairytale location, fully immersed in the woods and close to a wonderful river.
To reach this little jewel you need to take a pleasant 15’ walk from the public parking space of Loveno, a little hamlet above the resort town of Menaggio! Otherwise, you can go to the property with a small car.
Once you’ve reached this place, you’ll never want to leave it. A cozy "home" feeling will embrace you from the moment you will cross the stony bridge.
Entering the garden, we face two spacious cellars, one of which can be easily transformed in a further bedroom or a separate guest space (or a summer kitchen!).
An original internal staircase leads to the ground floor.
The main entrance is, officially, on the back of the house.
On this level we have a kitchen area with a dining table and a beautiful original working fireplace. Behind the kitchen, in order to maximize the space, the owners created a comfortable laundry area and storage room.
The living room is set across the kitchen and boasts a lovely view on the gardens and the river. A pellet stove warms the whole floor.  At the moment, the fireplace and the stove are the only heating systems in the house. 
A central staircase, with the beautifully decorated original stone, leads up to the first floor. A first bedroom with en-suite bathroom and wooden floors, and a second double bedroom overlooking the bridge. From the desk on this second bedroom, the view on the back path going up to the wood is simply stunning.
Speaking about these lovely houses located in nature, in this magic atmosphere, we cannot miss the attic, with real wooden floors, beams at sight and natural wall effect all around. Tiny windows spread all around, will let you go back in time, giving you the emotion of those times where we were all children, playing up in the attics "because it's full of magic things and secrets". This huge open space is now used as a bedroom and studio.
The house is in perfect condition and ready to live in, as the roof and facades have been totally renovated a few years ago and all the windows are double glazed.
A private garden of around 100 sq.m. surrounds the house and another 50 sq.m. of wooded land is part of the property on the backside.
The house will be delivered partially furnished.  
If we could describe a feeling for this property that we had the first time we saw it, that would be recounted in a few words: a childhood memory, in a fairy tale location a few minutes away from the lake. And yes: running barefoot all day around the gardens and the river!
