Lake Maggiore: 8 pros of a multi-storey home

Wide rooms and the possibility of customising and dividing the areas: two-storey properties are perfect both for big families and for those who need space to work


Many houses on Lake Maggiore - exclusive properties in one of the most beautiful and most sought-after areas in Northern Italy - develop on more levels.  Multi-storey homes offer different advantages and solutions to customise the spaces, thus being perfect for every need. Let’s see the advantages of owning a property on more levels.


#1 Multi-storey properties: the living and the sleeping area


The most evident advantage of a multi-storey property is that you can perfectly divide the space. For example, when you have two levels, the entrance and the living area are usually located on the ground floor, while the bedrooms are on the upper floor. The “natural” division created by the presence of the stairs keeps the two levels well divided, which means an easier division of these areas.


#2 More levels mean more privacy


With a multi-storey layout you can get more privacy, since the noises coming from the living area can’t reach the upper floors and this results in sleeping better or studying with a higher level of quietness.



#3 Multi-storey properties: space for wellness


If your home develops on two or more floors, one of them being the basement, you can arrange this area with a space dedicated to convivial moments or the psychophysical wellbeing with a gym or even a recreation hall where to watch movies or play games. All separated from the main floors, as well.

#4 An area dedicated to work


In the past two years, smart working has become a reality for many. Those who work as a freelancer will have to dedicate an adequate amount of space to their job. But also employees working from home every day will need a separate room, where to concentrate without being disturbed or interrupted. There are many solutions to divide the home environment from the working one and they vary depending on the needs. You could have an office on the ground floor, near the entrance hall and separated from the sleeping area or it could also be a more isolated space, like for example in the attic. 



#5 Two-level homes: wide surface areas


One of the aspects characterising multi-storey properties are the wide surface areas, Airy spaces are more and more asked for and in a multi-storey home it is easier to create and design them.


#6 Perfect for large families

For the above mentioned reasons it is easy to see how this kind of home is perfect for large families. Everyone can find their space here, at the same time sharing other areas, like the kitchen or the living room.


#7 A property for all ages


Living in a multi-storey home has its own charm, but some people may have some doubts about it. For example, some think that having the stairs may become a problem with age. Today's technology offers the opportunity of having a property on two floors without having to face these problems: you can have a stairlift or also a mini lift placed.
