Lago Maggiore Luxury Real Estate, with exclusive mandate, presents “Villa Margaret.” Nestled in a peaceful oasis on the first hills of Verbania, in a commanding position atop a plateau offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding hills and mountains with excellent sunlight exposure, Villa Margaret is a transitional construction from the late 19th to early 20th century. Originally a summer residence for an aristocratic Milanese family, it is situated in a truly unique location and is surrounded by a beautiful flat garden of approximately 3,000 square meters. This area, known for its breathtaking landscapes celebrated by poets and depicted by 19th-century painters, offers enchanting views and remains a favored destination for both national and international jet setters. Villa Margaret stands out for its elegant neoclassical floral motifs, its charming atmosphere, and the romantic fairy-tale garden that surrounds it. The villa is spread over four levels: - Ground floor: Accessible via an elegant entrance, it features a spacious, bright double living room divided into a sofa area with a fireplace and a dining room with a fireplace connected to a large eat-in kitchen. The dining area and kitchen are linked by a splendid outdoor veranda with wrought iron frames, incredibly luminous and overlooking the garden with a view of the fountain. The rooms are decorated with elegant ceiling stuccoes, dramatic polished marble floors in Dark Emperador, and high-quality ash wood window frames. - The upper floor is reached via a wooden staircase decorated with refined paneling. It hosts a master suite, a masterpiece of elegance with a walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom en suite lined with Versace ceramics, directly connected to a marvelous terrace overlooking the garden. Additionally, the floor includes two more double bedrooms with small terraces and an elegant bathroom with turquoise Versace tiles, a floor in rare Sodalite Blue marble, and a top in Azul Macauba Imperial. - The second floor, accessible via a small wooden staircase, is currently an open space with all wiring and systems in place, ready for development. - In the semi-basement: a large tavern/laundry area and a cellar with stone flooring on soil, ideal for storing fine wines.
