This beautifully preserved property, recently upgraded to energy class A, is arranged over multiple levels.
On the ground floor, a wisteria-covered pergola shelters up to three parking spaces, each equipped with a wall box for electric vehicle charging. A covered porch leads to the main entrance and to a spacious laundry room with bathroom, which can be easily converted into a guest suite.
Descending half a level, you’ll find a stunning 90 sqm vaulted cellar, heated by a terracotta stove and divided into two areas: a traditional wine cellar and a cozy tavern. This space, already known in the 19th century as the “hostaria dei tempi antichi” (tavern of times past), is ideal for storing and enjoying Franciacorta wines in optimal conditions and a timeless atmosphere.
On the upper floor, a welcoming 62 sqm loggia features a wood-fired oven, perfect for al fresco dining and convivial evenings.
The entrance opens into a spacious, custom-designed kitchen, built around a large stone worktop and fitted with a pellet fireplace. The dining area includes a table that comfortably seats up to 12 guests, making it ideal for entertaining.
Beyond the kitchen and entrance hall lies an impressive living room (xy sqm), featuring a majestic 17th-century fireplace in Sarnico stone. Once the refectory of the original structure, the room preserves the grand proportions and character typical of buildings from that era.
A wooden staircase leads to the sleeping area on the upper floor, which includes a large master bedroom (30 sqm), a marble bathroom with bathtub and window, and a second double bedroom. From here, a wide staircase leads to the attic level, with generous ceiling heights—ideal as a third bedroom, study, or second living area, with potential for further extension or the addition of a third bathroom.
The finishes are of exceptional quality: marble and parquet flooring in the living areas, parquet in the bedrooms, exposed wooden beams in every room, sequoia wood window frames, and premium woods and materials throughout—details that reflect both refinement and authenticity.
The home features radiator and split-system heating and cooling, powered by a heat pump for year-round comfort. Energy performance is excellent, thanks to thermal insulation, a ventilated and insulated roof, photovoltaic panels, and storage batteries. Despite the generous interior volumes and above-standard ceiling heights, the property remains highly energy-efficient with low operating costs.
If you’re looking for a historic property with charm and character, combined with modern energy efficiency, in a quiet yet well-connected setting—and possibly suitable for hospitality use—this is the perfect property for you.
Some furnishings are available upon request, to be agreed upon with the current owner.
