In Balerna, a municipality in the Mendrisiotto region, strategically located between the Italian border and the city of Lugano, we offer for sale an elegant 3.5-room apartment. The building, which consists of only 8 units, is located in a very quiet and peaceful area, away from chaotic traffic, but at the same time extremely convenient and well-served, with the train station and public transport nearby. By car, the Italian border is reachable in just 5 minutes and Lugano in about 25 minutes. The apartment has both a terrace accessible from the living room and a balcony accessible from the day area, allowing you to take a breath of fresh air at any time of the day. The day area of the apartment is distinguished by its particular brightness, with the living room and dining room overlooking the terrace and favored by the south/west exposure, which guarantees excellent natural light during most of the day and makes the rooms welcoming and pleasant to live in. The kitchen, renovated in 2015 and equipped with a dishwasher, has a practical window door that leads to the southeast-facing balcony, creating a pleasant continuity between indoors and outdoors and offering an additional space to be used in daily life. The entrance is well-organized and enhanced by a very spacious built-in wardrobe, ideal for storing jackets, shoes, and accessories in an orderly manner and keeping the house always in perfect balance between comfort and functionality. The two bedrooms have generous dimensions, offering ample space for furnishing and personalizing the spaces, both for those who desire a comfortable master bedroom and for those who need a second, versatile room that can be used as a children's room, guest room, or study. The bathroom, completely renovated, is windowed and equipped with a modern shower and integrated washing machine, which is very practical and carefully designed to perfectly meet the needs of daily life. Particularly interesting is also the possibility, thanks to the large dimensions and conformity of the rooms, to easily transform the apartment into a 4.5-room apartment by simply inserting a plasterboard wall, which makes the property very flexible and adaptable to different housing needs. The apartment is offered fully furnished with modern furniture that has never been used and is available free of charge upon request, allowing you to immediately move into a space that is already set up and harmoniously arranged. In the attic, there is a mansard roof of about 25 m², a valuable additional room that can be used to create a very large storage space or a room that can be organized according to your needs. The property, originally built in 1960, presents itself in good condition thanks to significant interventions carried out between 2015 and 2016: in 2015, the kitchen was renovated, and in 2016, the bathroom was completely renovated, and the windows were replaced; the building, although old, is in perfect maintenance condition, with an electrical system according to standards, PVC shutters that completely darken, and fiber optics already laid in the apartment to enable a high-performance internet connection. The heating is provided by an efficient centralized gas heating system with radiators, supported by good aluminum and wood windows with insulated glass. The flooring is made of ceramic tiles for the entire apartment.
