Single family villa via Lavanderio 11, Colli, Bergamo

In the splendid setting of the Bergamo Hills, with a double access from both Via Torni and Via Lavanderio, we offer for sale an 18th century manor house called "La casa dei fiori". The residential building has an L-shaped plan, a height of 3 floors: ground, first and second floor. On the ground floor there is a 5-light portico with lowered arches on pillars and cross vaults decorated in the early 1900s. The arched entrance portal leads to the stairwell which also has 18th century decorations. The total living area is approximately 600 square meters. The property, apart from the roof which has been the subject of a recent extraordinary intervention, needs to be renovated but is free from historical-cultural constraints.
The strength of this villa is certainly the view that ranges 360° from the Val d'Astino to the villas overlooking Via dei Torni. The feeling is precisely that of being in a holiday resort where silence and peace reign. In the space in front of the house there is a generous terrace in beaten concrete and, following, a second green terrace with trees and rich vegetation that adorn and give shade and freshness to the outdoor space. At the back of the villa there is a terraced land of 3,500 square meters that goes up to Via dei Torni. The property lends itself to different solutions. In the context of a renovation, it could maintain its original function as a single manor house as well as provide for the construction of two to four large apartments.

Bergamo stands in a truly fortunate position with its duality of Alta and Bassa, splendidly crowned by that embrace of greenery all around.
The Hills of Bergamo have the power to take you into the greenest nature so much so that you forget you are still in the city, but with history always nearby, ready to reveal itself in every corner.
The magic of this place - which is only one of the green treasure chests of the city - is precisely this: in the blink of an eye you leave the frenzy of the city behind you and nature opens up before your eyes, very green and bright. Via Lavanderio stands precisely in this scenario.
To reach this little green world there are two possibilities: the first from Città Alta along Via Torni. The second one instead goes through the Longuelo district to reach the Astino Valley.
In the green that opens up, the undisputed protagonist, prince of this emerald oasis, is the enchanting complex that once hosted an important monastic community.
Its origins date back to 1107, when the Astino monastery was founded by some Vallombrosan monks.
Via Lavanderio is its natural continuation. This place of peace and nature has the advantage of being just a few minutes by car from the highway and access to the A4 motorway and only 9 km from the international airport of Milan Orio al Serio.--1df6302df9fa486d5db4e98883c97138!
