In Balerna, a town 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 that houses the apartment, consisting of only 8 units, is located in a very quiet and peaceful area, away from chaotic traffic, but at the same time extremely convenient and well-served, with the train station and public transport in the immediate vicinity. By car, the Italian border can be reached in just 5 minutes and Lugano in about 25 minutes. The apartment has both a terrace accessible from the living room and a balcony accessible from the daytime area, allowing you to go out and take a breath of fresh air at any time of the day. The daytime area of the apartment is distinguished by its particular brightness, with the living room and dining room overlooking the terrace and favored by the south/west exposure, which guarantees excellent natural light during 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 exploited in daily life. The entrance is well-organized and valued by a very spacious wall closet, 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 to 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 careful and perfectly meets the needs of daily life. Of particular interest is also the possibility, thanks to the large dimensions and conformity of the rooms, of easily transforming the apartment into a 4.5-room apartment by inserting a simple plasterboard partition, which makes the property very flexible and adaptable to different housing needs. The apartment is offered completely furnished with modern furniture, never used and available free of charge upon request, which represents an added value that allows you to immediately enter a space already prepared and harmoniously furnished. In the attic, there is a mansard of about 25 m², a valuable ancillary room to create a very large storage room or 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 renovated and the windows were replaced; the building, although dated, is in perfect maintenance condition, with an electrical system that complies with 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 gas heating system with radiators, supported by good aluminum and wood windows with insulating glass. The flooring is made of ceramic tiles for the entire apartment.
