3-Bedroom Apartment in Como, Italy

About the property

Apartment for sale in Como. The real estate agency Palazzo Estate offers a rare apartment with a lake view in the well-known Novocomum complex, designed by Giuseppe Terragni, one of the most significant Italian architects of the 20th century, recognized in the world of architecture as one of the leading exponents of rationalism. Novocomum has 5 floors with exclusive apartments. The building, constructed in 1928-1929, is one of the best examples of modern Italian architecture. The young Giuseppe Terragni skillfully drew on the models of the international avant-garde that took shape in the early 20th century, artfully combining elements of typically German rationalism and expressionism with European constructivism. The spacious apartment we offer is on the 4th floor, has an elevator and measures 185 m². Inside, it has an entrance hall, a double living room with large original windows overlooking Lake Como, a kitchen with its own balcony, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a study. The original large windows with lake views and the balconies stand out in particular, showing the typical geometry of rationalism. A basement on the ground floor for parking motorcycles and bicycles complements the property. It is also possible to buy one garage in a complex a few minutes' drive away. The residential complex faces Viale Sinigaglia, one of the most famous places in the center of Como. From a panoramic balcony of about 20 m², built in an artful architectural form, there is a beautiful view of Lake Como, Giardini a Lago and the historic Stadio Sinigaglia, which is considered today one of the most beautiful stadiums in Italy and hosts the matches of the Como football team. Thanks to its north-facing orientation and large windows, the apartment has direct natural light. This is an ideal property for those who want to immerse themselves in the history of Italian architecture: Italian rationalism remains one of the most valued Italian architectural movements in the world today and can be found in various works built across Europe. In the city of Como, the official home of Terragni, there are selected buildings that are still studied and valued by architects today, such as Novocumum, Casa del Fascio and Monumento ai Caduti. These are works Terragni realized during his life in the city, which remain fully contemporary almost 100 years later. In addition, the apartment is only a few minutes' walk from the historic center of Como. It is also ideal for walks, as it is only a few minutes' walk from the La Romantica waterfront promenade, which connects Como and Cernobbio. Excellent transport links to the motorway and Switzerland. Less than 10 minutes on foot takes you to the boat landing on the lakeshore, which connects Como with the main resorts of the lake's first basin: on one side Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Carate Urio and Argegno, on the other Blevio, Torno, Faggeto Lario, up to Bellagio. Ideal for experiencing the charm of a historic building in a prestigious location.
