Country villa with great Lake Como views
Italy, Lake Como, Menaggio (Lago di Como), Croce
Property Description.
This country villa is surrounded by the green at the end of a cul-de-sac with almost zero passing traffic. It has spectacular views over the town of Menaggio to the brilliant Lake of Como. This is a family home with flexible accommodation to allow pleasurable times together but also areas for own privacy. It has a massive terrace and first floor balcony running the length of the villa, all overlooking the lake and ideal for barbecues and outdoor living - which are the key attributes to owning a property in this outstanding area.
The upper floor has a massive open plan living/dining area with a separate kitchen. Large panoramic windows from this room open to the magnificent lake views and French doors open to the balcony with its sun-shade and outdoor dining. The master bedroom also faces, and has access to, the balcony through French doors. Opposite the bedroom is a large marble bathroom with tub and shower to relax in. A single bedroom and guest WC is also on this level.
The lower floor has three bedrooms, two bathrooms and two kitchens arranged in two independent areas to allow family members to have their own space.
The large garden is ideal for family games of hide and seek and a private secure entry drive/parking area can accommodate 7-8 cars so plenty of space for visiting friends - inevitable with such a special property above Lake Como.
The central heating is by mains gas supplemented by an impressive feature wood burning stufa in the upper living areas.
