In Balerna, a municipality in the Mendrisiotto region, strategically located between the Italian border and the city of Lugano, we offer for sale an elegant 3.5-room apartment. The building, which houses only 8 units, is located in a very quiet and peaceful area, away from chaotic traffic, yet extremely convenient and well-served, with the train station and public transportation nearby. By car, the Italian border is just 5 minutes away and Lugano is about 25 minutes away. The apartment has both a terrace accessible from the living room and a balcony accessible from the daytime area, allowing you to step outside and take in the fresh air at any time of day. The daytime area of the apartment is distinguished by its particular brightness, with the living room and dining room overlooking the terrace and benefiting from the south/west exposure, which guarantees excellent natural light throughout most of the day and makes the rooms welcoming and pleasant to live in. The kitchen, renovated in 2015 and equipped with a dishwasher, has a practical window door that leads to the southeast-facing balcony, creating a pleasant continuity between indoors and outdoors and offering an additional space to be used in everyday life. The entrance is well-organized and valued by a very spacious wall cabinet, ideal for storing jackets, shoes, and accessories in an orderly fashion and keeping the house always in perfect balance between comfort and functionality. The two bedrooms have generous dimensions, offering ample space for furnishing and personalizing the spaces, both for those who desire a comfortable master bedroom and for those who need a second, versatile room that can be used as a children's room, guest room, or study. The bathroom, completely renovated, is windowed and equipped with a modern shower and integrated washing machine, which is very practical and carefully designed to meet the needs of daily life. Particularly interesting is also the possibility, thanks to the large dimensions and conformity of the rooms, to easily transform the apartment into a 4.5-room apartment by simply inserting a plasterboard partition, which makes the property very flexible and adaptable to different housing needs. The apartment is offered fully furnished with modern furniture that has never been used and is available free of charge upon request, allowing you to move into a space that is already set up and harmoniously arranged. In the attic, there is a mansard of about 25 m², a valuable auxiliary room that can be used as a storage space or as a room to be organized according to one's needs. The property, originally built in 1960, presents itself in good condition thanks to significant interventions carried out between 2015 and 2016: in 2015, the kitchen was renovated, and in 2016, the bathroom was completely renovated, and the windows were replaced; the building, although dated, is in perfect maintenance condition, with an electrical system that meets standards, PVC shutters that completely darken, and fiber optic cables already laid in the apartment for a high-performance internet connection. The heating is provided by an efficient centralized system with gas oil and radiators, supported by good aluminum and wood windows with insulated glazing. The flooring is made of ceramic tiles throughout the apartment.
