Historic house with a view over the hills of Lesignano

Engel & Völkers is pleased to present this fascinating Art Nouveau villa, independent on three sides, located in the heart of the ancient village of Stadirano, a locality that is part of the municipality of Lesignano Bagni, known for its sulphur and thermal water as well as for the uncontaminated nature that surrounds these hills. With a surface area of over 250 square metres on four levels connected by an internal staircase, the foundations of this fascinating house bear witness to the 17th century architecture. The expansive and evocative ancient cellar, entirely built with exposed stone, originally served the original owners, the noble Sforza Cesarini family, and has been subsequently restored, including seismic stabilization interventions, while preserving its typical characteristics. Ascending the ancient stairs, we reach the ground floor with two independent and separate entrances (one of which is a driveway), whose current structure dates back to 1928, as does the façade of the entire building. The entire complex underwent a meticulous and sophisticated restoration in 2000, with great care taken to preserve all the original elements, starting with the cement tiles on the floors. On this floor there is also a bedroom, a bathroom with shower, a very spacious living room and, above all, a panoramic veranda with a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills and the Parma stream. From here you can also admire the perfectly maintained English garden, which has been laid out with great care on the slopes of the property. On this floor, there is also the possibility to create a kitchen, given the already existing predisposition in the area facing the entrance gate. The internal staircase leads to the first floor, where we can find an elegant Liberty-style living room. The floor is completed by a comfortable kitchen and a delightful windowed bathroom and a spacious bedroom. Accessible from the living room, there is also the opportunity to enjoy additional outdoor spaces, thanks to the large terrace with panoramic views that extend to the prestigious Torrechiara Castle. At the second floor we can find an additional habitable attic, where at the moment there is a beautiful bedroom with its large bathroom, which could also represent a small apartment separated from the rest of the building to recover comfortable and charming spaces of absolute independence. The flexibility of use of this property makes it particularly interesting for families who need separate spaces, but do not want to miss the opportunity to experience, even from their own home, the history and nature of these magnificent places.
