In Orino, in an elevated and panoramic location, we are offering this distinctive historic Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) villa for sale. The villa is surrounded by a private garden of approximately 2,800 m² and enjoys stunning views over Lake Maggiore and the Monte Rosa massif. The peaceful, leafy setting offers plenty of privacy, whilst the property is situated a short distance from key amenities and transport links.

The villa was built in 1912, with an extension added later and completed in 1922. The property has retained various original architectural features, including the distinctive internal staircase and authentic flooring. Over the years, various maintenance and renovation works have been carried out. For instance, a renovation took place in 2010, the floors in both living rooms were replaced in 2021, and the roof was completely re-roofed between 2021 and 2022.

The villa is spread over four storeys and has a floor area of approximately 344 m². On the ground floor is the entrance, which leads into a hall and a corridor, from which the various living areas can be accessed. This floor features two spacious living rooms, both fitted with a fireplace, and a separate kitchen-diner. The living areas offer direct access to the large terrace, which opens onto the garden and creates a lovely connection between indoors and outdoors. There is also a guest toilet on this floor.

The original internal staircase leads to the first floor, where the sleeping quarters are situated. Here there are three bedrooms, including a spacious master suite with an en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. One of the bedrooms also opens onto a panoramic terrace.

On the top floor, there are two further bedrooms, a bathroom and various additional rooms currently used as a study and a studio. The characteristic turret leads to the highest point of the villa: a unique roof terrace from which you can enjoy sweeping views over Lake Maggiore and the surrounding countryside.

The basement features several practical rooms, including a cosy taverna, a utility room, a wine cellar and various storage areas.

The villa is surrounded by a beautifully landscaped private garden of approximately 2,800 m², with various spots to relax and socialise. In a more sheltered part of the garden is the swimming pool, where you can enjoy the outdoors in complete privacy. The property is complemented by a garage with space for three cars and a covered parking area.

In terms of technical features, the villa has an independent gas-fired heating system with radiators, a condensing boiler installed in 2011 and solar panels for producing hot water.
