There are houses that you live in and houses that you experience. This one belongs to the second category. Four levels overlooking Lake Lugano, a private garden with a dock, terraces where you end up spending more time than indoors: the villa in Bissone is designed - in structure and location - for a family that wants the lake as a daily backdrop, not as a weekend destination.

The layout is generous without being wasteful. The living area on the upper floor - living room, dining room, separate kitchen, room - opens onto south- and west-facing balconies with a direct view of the water. The sleeping area on the lower floor offers three rooms and two bathrooms, all with access to the balconies: enough space for children, guests, and that extra room that always comes in handy sooner or later.

The semi-basement is where the house becomes more personal: the grotto with a fireplace has its own kitchen and an independent entrance from the outside, ideal for informal dinners or to receive guests without opening the whole house. The covered terrace facing the lake - which can be transformed into a veranda with sliding windows - extends the outdoor season well beyond summer. From here, you can directly reach the dock and private piers.

The location is convenient for daily life: the center of Lugano is about 10 minutes away by car, the services of the area are easily accessible, and the highway exits are in the immediate vicinity.

The Sixties gave the villa its structure; the Nineties added some updates. Whoever buys today has the opportunity to undertake a targeted renovation to redefine the interiors according to taste and current standards - starting from a lakefront position that the market hardly replicates.

The property consists of six and a half rooms for about 338 m² of living space, 100 m² of terraces, 211 m² of garden, and an additional buildable area of about 100 m². Two single garages, six external parking spaces, and a private dock with five boat moorings complete the equipment. Also available for purchase as a second home.
