In the heart of the green and peaceful Sesto Calende, at the gates of the Ticino Park and the Lagoni Park, we are offering for sale a charming detached villa, immersed in a natural setting of rare beauty and just a few minutes from the town centre. The location is perfect for those who want to live away from the hustle and bustle but with all amenities – shops, bars, restaurants and schools – within easy reach. Direct access to the woods and harmonious integration with the surrounding landscape make this property a true oasis of tranquillity. The villa, designed by architect Gerati – known for his use of characteristic internal tie rods – was built with high-quality materials. The external fir beams and larch cladding, known for its durability and low maintenance, give the house a solid and welcoming appearance, perfectly integrated into the natural environment. The structure is well insulated thanks to double-layer panels and internal insulation material, and has an energy rating of E. Spread over three floors with a total of approximately 230 square metres, the villa opens onto the main floor with a large living area with a masonry fireplace, ideal for socialising. The dining room, equipped with a pellet stove, connects directly to the modern open-plan kitchen. On the same floor there is also a convenient laundry room, a bathroom with double sink and shower, and a bedroom. The upper floor comprises the sleeping area with a spacious master bedroom, a bathroom with bathtub and a private balcony. From here, an external staircase leads to a terrace, perfect for admiring the view of the woods. The basement houses a cellar/tavern with terracotta flooring, equipped with a flood prevention well with an active submersible pump and a damp-proofing system. The property is completed by a well-kept garden of approximately 800 square metres and a covered carport. The systems are efficient and regularly maintained: heating is provided by LPG-fired radiators, a wood-burning stove, and the aforementioned pellet stove. The property has double-glazed windows and parquet flooring throughout, except for the bathrooms and stairwell (slate) and the tavern (terracotta). The septic tank is an Imhoff tank with a phytopurification system, but it is already possible to connect to the sewerage system and methane gas. Choosing this villa means investing in a sustainable, private lifestyle in close contact with nature, without sacrificing the convenience of urban amenities.
