John Taylor Exclusive - In the heart of Brienno, overlooking directly the western shore of Lake Como, this period of residence represents a real estate asset unique to history, position and identity. With origins documented at the end of the 17th century, already recorded in maps of 1720, and architectural development between 1847 and 1860, the property was born as an ancient silk mill, converted in the 1960s into a private villa and today object of a complete redevelopment. From a construction point of view, the property preserves authentic elements of great value: load-bearing walls in local stone of notable thickness, floors with original wooden beams, wide spans of industrial matrix and scenic internal heights up to 9 meters. The historic chimney asserts itself as an iconic architectural sign on Lake Como, while stone porticoes and covered loggias amplify the direct dialogue with the water. A distinctive element is the private pier, today privileged access via lake, once an operational infrastructure for the transport of goods toward Como. The villa, served by elevator and connected to the 19th-century dependance, also entirely renovated, develops over approximately 700 sqm with representative rooms, double living room, dining room, kitchen, tavern with large fireplace, bedrooms with en suite bathroom and service rooms, all with direct view onto the lake. A characteristic stone portico and a private garden of 200 sqm with swimming pool, all at water level, allow to live Lake Como in all its essence. Completing the property is a convenient double garage, directly connected to the dwelling, which guarantees maximum practicality and privacy. An iconic residence that integrates historical identity, architectural strength and lakeside lifestyle in a simply unique context.
