Description
In Magliaso, in a quiet and verdant residential area directly overlooking the shores of Lake Lugano, we offer for sale an exclusive property consisting of a main villa of approx. 500 sqm, a detached annex of approx. 200 sqm and a large plot of 2,630 sqm.
The main residence, designed 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 careful renovation: the basement (150 sq m) was transformed into an elegant wellness area with SPA; the attic became a master suite with private bathroom and walk-in closet.
The main villa is on three levels:
- 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.
- Second floor: large 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.
The annex offers spacious and versatile spaces:
- Ground floor: atrium, living room with access to veranda and garden, dining area, kitchen, WC, laundry, wine cellar, heating room and garage.
- Second floor: 2 bedrooms, a bedroom/study and 2 bathrooms.
- Basement: large hobby room, indoor pool, bathroom, cellar/laundry and technical rooms.
A private and exclusive oasis, surrounded by nature and overlooking one of the most striking landscapes of Ticino, ideal for those seeking privacy, comfort and architecture with character
