Storical villa in Brunate
In the characteristic village of Brunate, located above the town of Como and connected to it by the convenient and characteristic funicular railway, we find this charming period villa located a few minutes’ walk from the town center and the funicular railway station.
The villa was renovated about twenty years ago adapting it to today's needs but maintaining the old flavor and part of the original building finishes.
The ground floor consists of an entrance corridor, a large living room and a library room - both with a fireplace, a spacious kitchen and a service bathroom.
A convenient marble staircase leads to two upper floors and the basement.
The first and second floors are used as sleeping areas, with no less than 7 large bedrooms, one of which is located in the villa's characteristic turret, and two bathrooms.
From the sleeping area there is a beautiful view towards Lake Como and towards Monte Rosa and the Swiss Alps.
The basement is set with a spacious tavern, a hobby room, a cool and dry wine cellar and the technical room with the heating plant.
The property is surrounded by a beautiful flat garden of approximately 1,500 square meters; a spacious garage completes the property.
