Rare rationalist flat with lake view ...
Palazzo Estate offers an exclusive flat with lake views in the renowned "Novocomum", a historic complex built by Giuseppe Terragni, one of the most prominent Italian architects of the 20th century and recognized in the world of architecture for being one of the main exponents of Rationalism.
The "Novocomum" disposes of 4 floors with exclusive flats in the centre of Como. The building, built between 1928-1929, represents one of the greatest examples of modern Italian architecture. The young Giuseppe Terragni was cleverly inspired by the models of the international avant-garde developed in the early 1900s. He skillfully amalgamated elements of traditional German rationalism and expressionism and European constructivism.
The large flat Palazzo Estate offers is located on the third floor, with a condominium lift on the floor. It has a floor area of 185 sq.m. Internally, it features 1 entrance, and a double living room with large original windows overlooking Lake Como. Continuing, there is 1 eat-in kitchen with its own balcony, 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 1 study room. Particularly striking are the original windows overlooking the lake and the balconies, which follow rationalist geometries. The plans directly reflect the vision of Terragni. The property is completed by a useful cellar on the ground floor for parking motorcycles and bicycles. A property's single garage is in just a few minutes walk.
The residential complex opens onto the famous Viale Sinigaglia, one of the most famous locations in the centre of Como. The panoramic balcony of about 20 sqm, of masterful architectural form, enjoys beautiful openings overlooking Lake Como, the "Giardini a Lago" and the historic "Sinigaglia Stadium", nowadays considered one of the most picturesque stadiums in Italy and which hosts the matches of the Como team. Thanks to the northern exposure and the large windows, the flat has direct natural light.
An ideal property for those wishing to relive the history of Italian architecture: Italian rationalism still remains today one of the most popular Italian architectural currents in the world, and finds space in several works built in Europe. The city of Como, Terragni's official residence, hosts selected buildings, widely studied and appreciated by architects, such as the "Novocomum", the "Casa del Fascio", and the "Monumento dei Caduti". All works created by Terragni during his time in the city are still relevant, almost 100 years after he lived there.
The flat is located just a few minutes walk from the historic centre of Como. The property has direct access to the city gardens "Giardini a Lago", one of the most elegant settings in the city of Como, offering a wide range of services and outdoor activities. Also perfect for walking, being a short distance from the "La Romantica" promenade that connects Como to Cernobbio. There are also excellent connections by car to the motorway and to Switzerland. In less than 10 minutes on foot you can reach the pier of the boats on the lakefront, which connect Como to the main towns of the first basin of the lake. On one side Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Carate Urio and Argegno; on the other Blevio, Torno, Faggeto Lario, up to the tip of Bellagio.
The perfect setting for experiencing the charm of a historic building in a prestigious context.
