Beautiful and ancient property in the romantic historic center of San Bartolomeo, Giazzo, with a wonderful 180 degree view of the lake.
The ancient patrician residence is located in the heart of San Bartolomeo, a small hamlet of Cannobio, just 2 kilometers from the Swiss border and a few kilometers from the center of Cannobio. Through a stairway path you can quickly reach the lake shore and the beach, as well as the state road where we find the bus stop to easily reach, even by public transport, Cannobio and Switzerland.
The building was originally composed of two real estate units which are now connected to each other. It is spread over 4 floors and consists of:
a large cellar and a woodshed which overlook an extremely sunny private courtyard with rainforest on the second basement floor; a bedroom with a small bathroom and balcony, a large room also with a small balcony and a second cellar on the first basement floor; on the ground floor we find a courtyard with the main access, the kitchen, a double living room, a large bedroom with a long balcony facing the lake and the bathroom and finally on the first floor we find three bedrooms and a bathroom.
The house has, inside, the two original staircases that serve the floors, it is therefore possible to divide it into two or more units very easily.
Some of its peculiar characteristics have been well maintained and deserve to be preserved for their beauty and originality, such as the parquet floors, the original cementite coverings, the ancient fireplaces, the numerous niches, the beautiful wrought iron railings.
Independent methane heating and fireplaces.
The house, inhabited until recently, has undergone continuous maintenance and is therefore in good condition. The windows and doors are relatively new, made of PVC and equipped with double glazing, the facades and roof are in excellent condition. It therefore only needs a restyling (of the bathrooms for example) to best express its potential.
Right behind the house there is a beautiful plot of terraced land from which you can enjoy a fantastic lake view where you can create a fantastic roof garden and where the installation of a swimming pool could also be envisaged.
The property, within the nucleus of Giazzo, can only be reached on foot but is only 150 meters from the public car park and the large garage which can be purchased together with the property.
This large garage, a real ultra surplus in Piaggio Valmara, is recently built (2000), can accommodate up to three cars, can be further expanded, and is equipped with a remote-controlled electric tailgate and an overlying plot of land of approximately 400 m2 a lawn with fruit trees from which you can enjoy a beautiful lake view towards nearby Switzerland.
This property is therefore ideal for a large family but also lends itself to being divided into two or more units and is also extremely interesting for investment if transformed into a B&B or holiday apartments.
