13. House in the historic center in Carabbia-Lugano
In Lugano-Carabbia in the historic centre, surrounded by the romantic charm of old buildings, we are selling an unusual house.
The property is located in Lugano in the district of Carabbia, situated at an ideal altitude of 523 m, with a privileged climatic condition and served by regular public transport passages.
The district is equipped with an extensive network of footpaths, immersed in nature, allowing for wonderful walks.
The village of Carona is situated 602 m above sea level, and is a village with a millenary past, built by artists in a wonderful location.
From Carabbia it is easy to reach the village of Carona, which is situated between the peaks of Monte San Salvatore 912 m. and Monte Arbostora 822 m.
During the summer months, Carabbia and Carona are popular destinations for tourists because they offer many possibilities for walks, such as visiting the San Grato Botanical Park with its 30,000 m², a true paradise for nature lovers. In fact, it has the largest collection of azaleas, rhododendrons and conifers in the region in terms of variety and quantity.
Also important and pleasant are the characteristic grotti and the characteristic hotel, "Villa Carona", a two-hundred-year-old patrician residence that has hosted important artists, including the writer Hermann Hesse.
Carabbia is about 10 minutes from Lugano by car, 20 minutes from Agno airport, and there is a postbus service connecting it to all the neighbouring villages as well as to the city.
Descrizione dell'oggetto
The house, built in the period, is divided into two separate properties, joined by a characteristic 'Bridge of Sighs', Ca' Veggia built in 1890 and renovated in late 1960, and Casa la Carina built in late 1960 and partially renovated in the following years.
The first ground-floor property, 'Casa la Carina', is on three levels, each with a surface area of approximately 45 m².
The ground floor has two separate entrances, one consisting of a living room-grotto with fireplace and bedroom, and one that connects the upper floors via a stone staircase.
The first floor consists of a hallway, living room, double bedroom, bathroom-wc and staircase.
The second floor consists of hallway, living room, bedroom and bathroom with washer-dryer column.
From the second floor of "Casa la Carina", passing through the peculiar "Bridge of Sighs", one reaches the part located on the second floor of the "second Ca' Veggia property".
The area on the second floor of Ca' Veggia is approximately 90 m² and consists of a large entrance hall, kitchen, living room with dining area, bedroom, bathroom with tub and storage room.
Over time, the Ca' Veggia building has undergone various improvements, including in 1998 the demolition and reinforcement of the ceilings, re-roofing, etc.
Between 2003 and 2009, several interventions relating to the replacement of the oil boiler, the entire heating system with radiators, etc., were carried out in Casa la Carina.
Both properties can be modernised with partly conservative and partly innovative restoration, in order to create one or more special living solutions with comfort and charm.
From the first and second floors of the houses one can enjoy a pleasant view of nature, the old houses in the nucleus, the dominant church and even a glimpse of Lake Lugano.
The property has a large cellar with a vaulted ceiling in terracotta bricks, located in the basement of the 'Ca' Veggia' building.
Public parking spaces are available in the small square in front of the properties, while a large municipal car park is available a short distance away.
The core houses have always had a special charm and a magical atmosphere.
