Gignese
Lago Maggiore
Gignese on the hill above Stresa, stands this beautiful villa with large garden and lake views.
Originally built in the 1960s, the villa is located in one of the most beautiful areas above Stresa.
The property is completely detached, has a dominant and secluded position, yet is close to the city centre and essential amenities. The property is surrounded by a large garden with beautiful tall trees and offers panoramic views of Lake Maggiore and the surrounding Alpine peaks.
The house is spread over two floors. The entrance is on the upper floor, accessible from the garden by a beautiful staircase. The entrance hall, with a small wardrobe, leads to the living room, dining room and kitchen. All rooms have access to the terrace.
From the living room, a few steps lead to the sleeping area, with a spacious hall with walk-in wardrobe. This leads to a double bedroom, a single bedroom and a bathroom, while the master bedroom has its own ensuite bathroom. All living and sleeping areas have access to the garden via large French doors opening onto comfortable verandas.
On the ground floor, accessible both internally via a comfortable wooden staircase and externally via a separate entrance, there is a large basement room with a fireplace and a bar with a small wine cellar. This room could be converted into a nice TV room. The basement room leads to a small self-contained flat with a sitting room, bedroom and bathroom. The garage is also located on this floor.
Outside, the property has a hot tub, a utility room, a storage room and a basement room that was once used to draw water from a spring.
The house has been completely renovated and has a new roof, triple glazing, underfloor heating via a gas-fired condensing boiler, solar panels for hot water and provision for a photovoltaic system.
There is the possibility of increasing the living space by converting the very high attic, as well as space for a swimming pool and a possible additional garage.
The location, privacy and panoramic views make this villa a unique place to live in harmony with nature, yet within walking distance of all amenities and the charming towns on the shores of Lake Maggiore.
The villa is sold partially furnished.
