Description
In Magliaso, in a quiet and green residential area about 8 km from the center of Lugano, we offer for sale this exclusive villa, located directly on the shores of Lake Lugano. The property is located in a privileged position, close to all main services and only 1.5 km from the Lugano Golf Club.
The villa, built in 1977 by renowned Swiss architect Dolf Schnebli - a leading figure in the Modern Movement - was commissioned by Lieutenant Eugenio Wolk, commander of a special unit during World War II. Wolk wanted a dwelling inspired by the form and essence of a boat, an expression of his passion for water.
The result was a unique piece of architecture: a long, narrow floor plan reminiscent of a ship moored on the shore, open, flowing rooms, natural light filtered through large windows and glass-cement inserts, distinctive nautical elements such as tubular handrails on the stairs, similar to those on ships, and wooden terraces reminiscent of command decks.
In 2010, the villa underwent a major renovation: the basement (150 sq m) was transformed into an elegant wellness area with SPA, while the attic was converted back into an elegant master suite.
The villa is spread over three levels as follows:
Basement:
refined SPA area with Jacuzzi, steam bath, sauna and bath, service area with laundry, ironing room, wine cellar and garage.
Ground floor:
generous entrance hall, large open plan living room with fireplace overlooking the 90 sqm terrace and garden, dining area, kitchen, guest bathroom, 2 master suites with bathrooms and walk-in closet, study and storage room.
First floor:
bright master suite overlooking the porch, bathroom, walk-in closet and study area overlooking the living room and dining room; panoramic terrace with stunning lake views.
An exclusive home full of personality, surrounded by nature and perfectly integrated with the lake landscape: ideal for those seeking privacy, comfort and architecture with a strong and authentic character
