About this property

    Exclusive art nouveau villa with swimming pool – balerna, ticino

    Asking Price: €1,950,000

    fortuna invest is pleased to present this elegant and distinctive villa located in Balerna, Canton of Ticino, Switzerland, in a quiet residential setting just a few kilometres from the Italian border and within easy reach of Lake Como.

    Combining the charm of Art Nouveau architecture with high-quality contemporary features, this exceptional residence offers approximately 300 m2 of interior living space arranged over three above-ground levels plus a basement.

    The property underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2012/2013, carefully preserving its original architectural character while introducing modern comfort, security and technical installations.

    The villa is surrounded by approximately 624 m2 of outdoor space and features a beautifully maintained garden, a private swimming pool and extensive parking facilities.

    Timeless Character & Refined Interiors

    From the moment you enter the property, its unique character becomes apparent.

    The entrance features original 1920s frescoes and decorative reliefs, volcanic stone flooring and an impressive original granite staircase leading to the upper floors.

    The original windows were carefully restored and fitted with double glazing, while the upper floors feature elegant teak flooring

    The bathrooms are finished in high-quality travertine marble, creating a refined and timeless atmosphere throughout the residence.

    Ground Floor

    The main living level includes an elegant living room, dining area, bathroom and an exceptional professional-standard kitchen.

    The kitchen was designed by prestigious Italian manufacturer Officine Gullo and is equipped to an outstanding standard, including professional refrigeration, a temperature-controlled wine cabinet, two large freezer compartments, six gas burners, a 90 cm oven, lava-stone grill, stainless-steel cooking plate and a high-performance extraction system.

    Large openings provide direct access to the garden and outdoor areas.

    First Floor

    The first floor features a spacious principal bedroom with a generous en-suite bathroom entirely finished in travertine marble.

    The bathroom includes a large glass shower, Art Nouveau-style washbasin, WC and bidet. Both the bedroom and bathroom benefit from their own small balcony.

    A second bedroom with built-in wardrobes and a separate travertine-marble bathroom complete this floor.

    Top Floor

    The upper level was added during the renovation and extends across the full footprint of the floor below.

    Windows on three sides provide abundant natural light and beautiful open views over the surrounding landscape

    This level comprises a very large bedroom, a private sitting area, an additional service room and a further travertine-marble bathroom with shower.

    Wine Cellar & Technical Areas

    The basement houses the laundry facilities, technical installations and a dedicated server room controlling the property’s video surveillance and alarm systems.

    Wine enthusiasts will particularly appreciate the private wine-tasting grotto and separate temperature-controlled wine cellar

    Private Swimming Pool & Garden

    The outdoor areas have been designed for privacy, relaxation and ease of maintenance.

    Directly in front of the living area is an impressive 10 × 4 metre private swimming pool, which can be illuminated at night.

    Solar panels contribute to the property’s hot-water production. During periods of surplus production, the system can also assist in heating the swimming pool, helping to extend its use into spring and autumn.

    The garden is maintained with an automatic robotic lawn mower, while the swimming pool benefits from its own automatic cleaning robot

    The pedestrian and driveway areas are finished in natural stone, and access to the property is through an elegant electrically operated wrought-iron gate

    The villa benefits from a private internal garage with direct access to the residence.

    In addition, a separate double garage has been constructed adjacent to the garden and within convenient reach of the kitchen.
