Historic Residence With Private Terraces Inside Villa Gnecchi Ruscone

EXCLUSIVE
There are places that are not only purchased for their beauty but for the history they hold: Villa Gnecchi Ruscone is one of these.
In the heart of Verderio, immersed in a centuries-old park, the residence represents one of the most significant examples of Lombard noble architecture from the 17th to the 18th century.
It was the headquarters of Napoleon’s troops during his campaigns. Later, the estate also hosted the revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi.
Having belonged to the Franchetti family of Ponte and subsequently to the Gnecchi Ruscone, it still retains the charm of great patrician residences today: the honor courtyard, elegant porticoes, the private chapel, frescoed rooms, and a magnificent historic garden protected by the Superintendency, enriched by a swimming pool and a tennis court. Living here means inhabiting a place that retains the character of a private villa more than that of a traditional condominium context.
The property occupies the entire third floor and covers approximately 390 sqm in total, consisting of a main residence and a small adjacent dépendance, currently registered as an office and directly connected to the dwelling. The property is completed by two panoramic terraces, a cellar, and the possibility of uncovered parking spaces.
Access is via a private elevator with a dedicated key that leads directly into the house. This is not a casual detail: this level originally housed the villa’s theater, an element that still today gives the spaces an absolutely unique character.
The residence alternates perfectly preserved historic spaces with high-quality contemporary interventions. The large representative living room, the master bedroom — once the theater’s dressing room — and the main bathroom house original frescoes protected by the Fine Arts, including the extraordinary representation of the Battle of Verderio. The floors in different marbles testify to the various eras of the dwelling and contribute to its architectural value.
The most recently renovated part houses the kitchen with laundry/storage, a second bedroom with a walk-in closet, and a bathroom, integrating contemporary comfort with respect for the historical context.
Adjacent to the dwelling is the dépendance, completely renovated: a versatile and independent space, ideal as a professional studio, atelier, guesthouse, or area dedicated to smart working.
Finally, internal stairs lead to two private terraces: the first space adorned with ornamental statues and a second panoramic level that overlooks the monumental park and the surrounding landscape.
A property destined for those seeking not only a representative home but a historical and architectural heritage capable of uniting memory, beauty, and quality of living in one of the most fascinating residences in Brianza.
