Penthouse With Private Garden In Sesto Calende

We are offering for sale in Sesto Calende a fully refurbished penthouse, situated in one of the town’s greenest and most secluded areas, just a few minutes from the town centre and Lake Maggiore. The location allows you to live in a peaceful, residential setting, with all the main amenities within easy reach and excellent transport links to Varese, Milan and Milan Malpensa Airport.
The property is situated within an elegant development comprising just six units and is open on all four sides, a feature that ensures plenty of natural light throughout the day thanks to its four-sided exposure. The property has undergone a complete refurbishment, covering the building services, windows and doors, and all finishes, with the aim of creating a modern, energy-efficient home that is ready to move into.
The penthouse has a gross floor area of approximately 195 m², of which 165 m² is dedicated to living space. The rooms are spacious, well laid out and designed to ensure comfort and functionality.
The entrance hall leads to the living area, comprising a bright sitting room with a pink granite fireplace, a lounge area and a dining room. The kitchen is a full-sized kitchen-diner and opens onto a large, spacious balcony, from which one can enjoy a pleasant, unobstructed view stretching as far as Monte Rosa.
The sleeping area comprises two bedrooms and two bathrooms, one of which is finished in resin. The interiors are enhanced by solid wood parquet flooring and walls finished in Venetian stucco, elements that lend elegance and a sense of continuity to the spaces.
A refined mezzanine, accessible via a wooden and wrought-iron staircase, offers a versatile space that can be used as a study, a third bedroom, a relaxation area or a space dedicated to hobbies.
One of the property’s most exclusive features is the private garden of approximately 300 m², a particularly rare feature for a penthouse. The outdoor area, partly paved, is ideal for al fresco dining, moments of relaxation or for those wishing to enjoy the greenery in complete privacy. The garden is also fitted with pre-wiring for home automation systems, covering the electrical and irrigation systems.
The property is completed by a triple electric garage and a basement room directly connected to the garage, complete with a kitchen and bathroom. This space can easily be used as a self-contained guest flat, a professional practice, a hobby room or as additional living space.
From a technical perspective, the property stands out for its high energy efficiency. The house is entirely electric, with no use of gas; it features an induction hob, independent heating and domestic hot water supplied by heat pumps with a 300-litre storage tank. The high-performance photovoltaic system helps to significantly reduce energy consumption, generating more energy than the property requires. Energy efficiency class A3 represents significant added value in terms of comfort and savings.
Plans also include a repowering and revamping project for the photovoltaic system, which will involve replacing the current panels with 24 new-generation modules. This work will further increase the system’s efficiency and energy output, guaranteeing – according to current forecasts regarding incentives – an annual return of over €6,000 in the first four years and subsequently around €2,000 per year for the following 35 years, in addition to covering the home’s energy requirements. This project further enhances the property’s energy efficiency and self-sufficiency.
The technological specifications also include a home automation system for managing lighting, heating, blinds and irrigation; new-generation windows with double-glazed PVC frames; wood-effect aluminium shutters; motorised Velux windows with rain sensors; independent air conditioning; fibre-optic broadband; and a TV system.
Plans also include the installation of a private lift, for the exclusive use of the penthouse, which will be fitted externally and connected to the block’s main staircase. The project, for which the relevant planning application will be submitted, provides for the lift to arrive directly at the penthouse’s landing, ensuring convenient and direct access to the property. The lift will be attached to the penthouse and will form an integral part of it. Installation is scheduled for the early months of next year and, should the sale be finalised before the work is carried out, the project will be completed prior to the exchange of deeds.
The planned works, with a total estimated investment of approximately €60,000, represent a further enhancement of the property, both in terms of energy efficiency and in terms of comfort, accessibility and functionality.
This property is the ideal choice for those seeking a modern, energy-efficient main residence surrounded by greenery, without compromising on the convenience of local amenities or proximity to Lake Maggiore. It is also perfect as a prestigious second home, thanks to its spacious indoor and outdoor areas, high level of comfort and the quality of the recent refurbishment – further enhanced by the planned works, which will increase its efficiency, accessibility and value over time.
