Como, Via Tommaso Grossi – Elegance, Space and Potential in a Prestigious Setting
In the heart of one of Como's most sought-after and convenient residential areas, we are pleased to offer for sale a prestigious top-floor apartment in an elegant 1970s building.
The property enjoys a privileged position and rare tranquillity, further enhanced by a building whose communal areas have been fully renovated: the façade and roof have just been redone, effectively eliminating extraordinary maintenance costs for decades to come.
Property Highlights
Top-Floor Position with Breathtaking Views: The apartment sits above the city, commanding a spectacular outlook over Lake Como, the surrounding hills, and the majestic dome of Como Cathedral.
Private Garage and Cellar: The property includes a private garage and a spacious cellar — rare and invaluable appurtenances that let you enjoy city living with none of the usual parking worries.
Exceptional Light and Generous Proportions: Dual exposure and expansive windows flood every room with natural light, with direct access to two large panoramic balconies.
No Extraordinary Expenses: A recently restored façade and roof ensure serene, low-maintenance building management for years to come.
Period Character: A building that retains the architectural charm and solid construction typical of the 1970s, enriched by original period finishes including fine marble flooring and decorative ceiling details.
Current Layout: Generous Spaces to Live In
The existing floor plan stands out for its rational, generous use of space — characteristic of the refined architecture of its era:
Living Area: A grand, formal entrance hall leads into a bright living room and an impressive reception room with fine marble flooring and decorative wood beams. A separate eat-in kitchen opens onto a service balcony.
Sleeping Quarters: Thoughtfully separated from the living area, comprising three generously sized bedrooms and three bathrooms — an ideal layout for large families or anyone wanting dedicated space for working from home.
Appurtenances: The property includes a single private garage and a cellar room on the basement level.
The Potential: A Modern Reinterpretation Project
The generous floor area and absence of rigid structural constraints allow the apartment to be reimagined as a work of contemporary luxury design. The renovation project, designed by architect Patrizia Pasinato, illustrates how this residence could be transformed into a home of true design distinction:
Open-Plan Living Area: A vast open-plan space where a minimalist kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area, enhanced by herringbone parquet flooring, backlit textured walls, and expansive windows overlooking the city.
Wellness Bathrooms: Reimagined as private spa-style bathrooms with natural stone finishes, spacious flush-to-floor walk-in showers, solid wood detailing, and integrated architectural LED lighting.
The Master Suite: A sophisticated principal bedroom featuring a striking walk-in wardrobe with smoked-glass doors and a geometric backlit boiserie panel.
Purchase Options
To suit a range of buyer needs, the property is offered under two distinct purchase arrangements:
Purchase "As Is": The opportunity to acquire the property in its current condition — the ideal solution for those who wish to oversee their own renovation project independently. Ready for completion within 120 days. (Price: €775,000)
"Turnkey" Purchase – €980,000: For those seeking a completely hassle-free experience, the penthouse can be purchased fully renovated, faithfully executed to the architect's design and renderings. A bespoke service that lets you move straight into your new luxury home, with none of the stress of managing a renovation.
A blank canvas, or a masterpiece already realised. This apartment represents the perfect combination of a solid, externally renovated period building, the convenience of private parking, and the freedom to either create your ideal residence or entrust the project to an already-defined vision of excellence. A home suspended between the blue of the lake and the sky of Como.
