In the heart of the Gavirate area, in a peaceful semi-central residential setting, we are pleased to present for sale this elegant Liberty-style period villa, a property of rare character that retains the timeless appeal of early 20th-century architecture while offering generous spaces, privacy and exceptional versatility.Built in the 1920s, the villa is a refined example of Italian Liberty architecture. A major renovation carried out in the 1990s carefully preserved and enhanced the original features of the residence, maintaining its distinctive architectural identity.Among the property's most valuable features are the original marble and parquet floors, meticulously restored and preserved, which extend throughout the villa and create a sophisticated dialogue between period elegance and contemporary comfort. The impressive central marble staircase, enhanced by an elegant wrought-iron handrail, is one of the residence's most striking architectural features and connects the various levels of the home.The villa extends over four floors, offering approximately 500 sq m of total living space. Its generous proportions and flexible layout make it ideally suited to a family seeking a prestigious residence, as well as to those wishing to accommodate guests and family members while ensuring generous spaces and a high degree of independence.The ground floor is introduced by an imposing security entrance door and opens onto the property's elegant reception areas. This level includes a study, which can also be used as a bedroom, featuring a fireplace, together with a spacious double living room with its original marble fireplace.
