Menaggio, Como, Lombardy, Italy

We're glad to present you this charming historical property located in a strategic position in Menaggio, moments to the lake and the main square.

Situated close to the fascinating ruins of the medieval walls of Menaggio, the property comprises a unit for commercial use on the ground floor, plus two residential floors upstairs.

The building dates back to the eighteenth century, and still retains the original central portico which, until the construction of the current provincial road, was an obligatory customs point in transit from Menaggio to the hillside location of Plesio.

The ground floor includes the café (about 40 square meters) with tobacco and newspaper license, plus a convenient storage room.In the basement we find vaulted cellars and a boiler room.

From the ground floor, with an internal stone staircase, we reach the first floor.

Here we find a storage room on the stairwell, and a splendid porch with windows that reaches the entrance door of the apartment. Internally we have a large kitchen with a pizza oven and dining area, bathroom, living room and possible internal connection to the commercial unit via a staircase and landing.

From the kitchen, with a comfortable staircase, you reach the sleeping area with three large bedrooms, some with access to a covered porch, study/library with lake view and view of the castle walls, two bathrooms and walk-in closet.

The property boasts several original historical details, including a stunning fresco on the facade, the cobbled paving of the portico, and the magnificent twentieth-century arcades with round arches on the residential floors.

Private garden on the front of the property.

Ideal as an investment.

Possible separate sale of the commercial and residential unit.

Lakeside is a Real Estate Agency operating on Lake Como, awarded as Best Real Estate Agency Single Office of Italy at the European Property Awards 2020/2021.
We are the most and best reviewed real estate brand of the area online: our clients' words are the best proof of the quality of our work.

We are a team of locals: we know our beloved Lake just perfectly.
This means, first, that we know the local property market backwards and forwards. We have a wide portfolio of prime properties for sale, and we constantly have an eye for opportunities also thanks to our capillary network of synergies with local agents, private owners and builders; this significantly increases the probability of finding the best property for you, and decreases the time needed to do it.
Second, that we could spend hours in talking about our Lake: chat with us and you will be surprised to hear the genuine passion we have when we describe the history of our villages, or when we share insights about locations, or again when we suggest you how to best enjoy Lake Como life. We particularly love to explain to our clients the unique soul of each single area of our territory: we believe this is an incomparable added value that only a native company like ours can provide.

"Local vibes. Global minds", our tagline speaks clear: our distinctive feature is the ability to combine a sound know-how of the area with a marked international vocation, the latter proved by our multiple partnerships with businesses in Sweden, US and several countries abroad.

Our headquarters are located on the West Coast of the Lake (the sunniest and the one with the strongest international charme), in three of the most vibrant crossroads of global buyers: Menaggio, Argegno and San Siro.

Sales-related services, property management, financial assistance, renovation and project management: the range of services we offer is one of the most comprehensive on the local market.

Our team is young and smart, and this basically means three great soft skills: our extreme flexibility; our steady energy and proactivity; and our passion for digital storytelling, that leads our investment in professional photo and integrated marketing campaigns.

Our mission is to help who really loves our place find the retreat they deserve.
