Balerna, Ticino 6828

We offer a charming period property in the hilly area of Balerna in a strategic position due to its proximity to the Italian border, motorway connections, shopping centers and Milan Malpensa airport, as well as only 20 minutes from Lugano. This splendid villa dates back to the early twentieth century, has an area of about 478 square meters and is surrounded by a lush park of about 2, 836 square meters, full of wonderful centuries-old plants that give an allure of other times. The property requires renovation and is currently divided into two apartments, but can be conceived as a single-family home. On the ground floor there is a large and bright living room, a cozy dining room with fireplace, separate kitchen, a large and elegant master bedroom, two bedrooms and bathrooms. A staircase leads to the first floor which has almost the same layout as the lower floor, but is distinguished by a beautiful terrace from which you can enjoy an open view. Thanks to the very high ceilings and generous spaces on the top floor, a third apartment could be created through a renovation. Finally, the basement offers numerous very spacious multipurpose rooms including a wine cellar, storage and laundry room with an old wash house. Through a change of use, this villa could become the perfect location for foundations, elegant offices or medical practices. The property includes two parking spaces in the garage and about six outdoor parking spaces.
