    Liberty style villa near the lakeside promenade

    About this property

    • This Liberty style villa is strategically located within walking distance of the lakeside promenade, with its vibrant restaurants, cafés, marinas, and public ferry services.

      This type of villa was very common among the aristocracy and the upper middle class who, between the 18th and 19th centuries, chose Lesa as a holiday destination, building residences that combined classical rigour and elegance.

      Currently is divided into six apartments (two per floor with landing in the middle); however, it presents a wonderful opportunity to be restored into a magnificent single-family residence.

      The property offers the potential to add a swimming pool (subject to planning permission), which would significantly enhance both the garden’s appeal and the overall value of the estate.

      Practicality meets prestige with five private lock-up garages, ensuring vehicles are parked safely and kept out of sight. The flat, half-acre garden is designed for easy maintenance, providing a lush yet manageable outdoor space.

      With its elegant architectural style and generous proportions, the villa commands a stately and impressive presence.
