Lake Como

In Carate Urio, in a quiet and sunny setting, we offer for sale a beautiful 1950s house with garden and lake view, which is spread over two floors, about 65 sqm per floor, plus a tavern and an attic.
On the basement floor, with independent entrance, we find the open space tavern, completely renovated, with a kitchen, a working fireplace and a bathroom. Perfect for friends or relatives who come for a visit to Lake Como.
The living area is on the mezzanine floor where we have a kitchen, a dining area, a living room and a bathroom. From all three rooms there is access to the large terrace from where there is a wonderful view on the lake and the little chapel in Via Santa Marta.
On the upper floor we find an atrium currently used as a study room and three spacious bedrooms communicating with each other, each with a wonderful lake view and access to the terrace. The rational layout of the house offers the advantage of being able to create a corridor for direct access to the rooms.
The attic is reached by a retractable internal staircase and can be used as storage space or can be renovated and used as a recreation area.
Finishes: a beautiful Venetian grit floor in the living area and the original French windows are very charming; parquet for the sleeping area and ceramics in the tavern and bathrooms.
The house is surrounded by a garden of about 220 sqm where there is a tool storage.
The house is located in a road street that can be passed by a car and there is the possibility of creating two parking spaces in the property's private garden at an expense of approximately €20,000.
Carate Urio is a splendid village on the western shore of Lake Como, adjacent to Laglio, the village where George Clooney's villa is located, and to Cernobbio, home of the prestigious Grand Hotel Villa d'Este. Carate Urio is about a ten-minute drive from the Como Lake motorway exit, on the Milan - Lugano route.
From here, both cities can be reached in about thirty minutes by car. The international airport of Milan Malpensa is about a thirty- minute drive while the city of Como is about ten minutes. The public bus service is very convenient with a stop next to the house for sale; thanks to the bus service the towns of Argegno, Menaggio and Como are easily reachable as well as the Como San Giovanni international railway station.
Carate Urio is also well connected by ferryboat to Cernobbio, Como, Bellagio and Menaggio, thanks to the Navigazione Laghi transportation service.
