Unique property on lake Como for sale directly on the water:
The huge, open space room at the first floor, deliberately kept intact in the renovation, was the place where women used to astract the precious thread from silkworms. On the ground floor, where the rooms of the villa are now facing the porch and the garden overlooking the lake, there was the boiler of the factory, connected to the high towering chimney (still working), and some more spaces needed for the activity of the factory .
The direct access to the private jetty is the same from which the goods were loaded in the past on large, sailing boats called Comballi, and from there were led to Como’s port.
A large and modern elevator at the level of the main street and of the garages connects the villa with one more large building that integrates the property. It was the site where families of filandiers used to live. This unique property on lake Como for sale directly on the water, with its balconies facing the picturesque small pier of the village, has been recently refurbished and divided into eleven indipendent apartments with all modern facilities.
This annexe, along with the main villa, transforms the whole complex in a small stand-alone village in the historic center of Brienno and allows many different solutions of the interior areas, an option almost impossible to realize in most properties having a more classical structure.
