Historische Residenz Mit Privaten Terrassen In Villa Gnecchi Ruscone

Some properties are acquired for more than their beauty: they are chosen for the history they hold. Villa Gnecchi Ruscone is one of them.
Set in centuries-old parkland in Verderio, this distinguished villa embodies Lombardy’s aristocratic architecture of the 17th and 18th centuries. Once headquarters for Napoleon’s troops, it later welcomed Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Formerly owned by the Franchetti di Ponte and Gnecchi Ruscone families, the estate retains its U-shaped courtyard, elegant porticoes, monumental wrought-iron gates, stables, private chapel and frescoed reception rooms.
The protected historic gardens, maintained by specialist agronomists, feature magnificent mature trees, a swimming pool and a tennis court. Shared by just a few residents, the grounds offer exceptional tranquillity.
Occupying the third floor, the property extends to approximately 390 sqm, comprising a main residence and an adjoining, internally connected annexe currently registered as office space. It includes two panoramic terraces, a cellar and potential outdoor parking spaces.
A private, key-operated lift opens directly into the home. Formerly the family’s private theatre, this floor retains remarkable historic features.
The grand reception room, principal bedroom—once the theatre’s dressing room—and main bathroom preserve their original layout. Protected frescoes, including the Battle of Verderio, complement marble floors from different periods, some requiring conservation work.
The renovated section houses a kitchen, second bedroom, two bathrooms and a laundry room. The fully refurbished annexe offers bright, versatile space for a professional studio, atelier or home office.
Stairs lead to two private terraces: one adorned with ornamental statues, the other offering elevated views over the park and surrounding landscape.
An exceptional architectural legacy combining historic grandeur with contemporary living in one of Brianza’s most captivating noble estates.
