Apartment for sale in Cannobio

Spacious apartment of approximately 160 square meters in a period building in the heart of Cannobio's historic center. The apartment, spread over two levels, is located on the second and third floors of an historic building overlooking Via Umberto I and a pleasant internal courtyard. The building comprises a total of three apartments, plus a commercial business on the ground floor. We are located in the Borgo district, just steps from the lake and the Lungo Lago promenade. A century-old portico leads to the stairwell. The private internal balcony leads to the apartment, which comprises: an entrance hall to the spacious living room and open-plan kitchen with a chimney, currently featuring a pellet stove, and a bright skylight; a bathroom with a bathtub; a hallway with a spacious pantry; a spacious double bedroom with a beautiful coffered ceiling and double French windows overlooking the main street; and a stairwell leading to the third attic level. Here, we find three rooms, plus two large hallways (entrance hall and ironing room), and a bathroom with shower. All rooms have large skylights. The insulated attic ceiling features beautiful exposed beams. The wooden plank flooring has been installed seamlessly, so if the plasterboard partitions need to be altered, they won't be damaged. Several storage spaces and alcoves have been created in the lower sections of the roof. The internal balcony also features a storage alcove housing the new condensing boiler. The property overlooks the ancient village, a pedestrian area and shopping street, and the internal courtyard. The lake can be seen from both sides. The apartment was renovated and expanded (including the attic) in 2006. The windows and doors are wooden, with large double glazing; the exterior shutters are about to be completely replaced. With a light renovation, it could fully realize its potential. A large terrace could also be considered, offering a stunning lake view and a private outdoor space. The building is particularly quiet, being located on a pedestrian street and overlooking the courtyard. Public parking is available nearby. A garage can be rented or purchased just steps from the building. Independent utilities. No condominium fees. Ideal for both residents (including large families) and vacationers.
