In Melide, a municipality surrounded by unforgettable landscapes and home to the famous “Swissminiatur”, in a place of timeless beauty that has nevertheless managed to keep up with the times with its dense network of connections, we offer for sale a charming historic house with 5 rooms. The property is located right in the heart of the historic nucleus of Melide, in a quiet yet strategic area, currently subject to a careful renovation project of the entire village that will further enhance its value and prestige. The madonnina and the arch of the main entrance are recognized by the Academy of Fine Arts of Bellinzona as artistic heritage. These artistic elements enrich the property with historical and cultural details of inestimable value. The dwelling features a lovely balcony located on the first floor, at the height of the madonnina, capable of offering an intimate and characteristic outdoor corner. The living room, generously sized, is enhanced by a wood stove from the brand Camini Grancia that can exceptionally heat the entire house, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere ideal for winter evenings. The top-quality kitchen from the brand Astor with a central island is fully equipped with appliances from prestigious brands such as Electrolux and Miele and is capable of meeting the most refined culinary needs. The master bedroom on the second floor is particularly spacious and characteristic, with details that recall the historical origin of the property, perfectly integrated with modern comfort. An extraordinary stone wall along the staircase leading to the second floor, treated in such a way as to capture even more the charm of historic properties, and a splendid fresco created by a local artist are further elements that give the property a unique character and a highly charming atmosphere. The property is equipped with a modern air conditioning system that ensures optimal climate comfort throughout the year. Additionally, mosquito nets have been installed on all openings, allowing for natural ventilation even in the summer months in complete tranquility. The house, built in the early 1900s, was completely renovated between 2015 and 2016 with an intervention that involved both the interiors and exteriors, except for the boiler, which is still checked every year. The roof was entirely redone two years ago. The renewal work was not just a sterile revision of the property to bring it up to current standards, but a careful revisitation of every historical detail to preserve and enhance it, creating an authentic jewel to be passed down to future generations as a true artistic and architectural masterpiece. It is also worth noting that with 228 sqm of living space, the property features generous spaces ready to easily meet any living requirements. The heating is provided by an efficient autonomous oil system with radiator distribution, aided by excellent PVC windows and insulating double glazing. The flooring is made of fine terracotta for the stairs and tiles for the rest of the surface. For laundry, there is a spacious private laundry room on the ground floor that offers maximum convenience and autonomy. The property consists on the ground floor of a technical room, a spacious laundry room, and two bedrooms, one of which is pre-equipped to be transformed into a bathroom thanks to the existing connections; the first floor features a large living room with a stove and adjacent dining area, a designer kitchen with an island, the lovely balcony, and a large and bright windowed bathroom. Finally, the second floor hosts a spacious bedroom, a very comfortable second bathroom, and the generous master bedroom. TRULY A FASCINATING HISTORIC HOME!!
