LUXURIOUS AND MODERN 3.5 ROOM APARTMENT WITH GARDEN IN CENTRAL LUGANO

We offer for sale, with delivery in June 2026, a 3.5-room apartment of 108 m² with a private garden of 75 m², on the ground floor of the exclusive Torre di Eva residence, which consists of only six apartments, one per floor, to guarantee maximum prestige, elegance, and living comfort.The residence is located in one of the most prestigious areas of Lugano, just a few steps from the lake shore and the main services. In such a central context, where new buildings are rare and buildable land is almost non-existent, having an apartment with a private garden is an extremely rare and sought-after asset.The apartment has been designed with a harmonious layout that naturally separates the day and night areas. It is also equipped with domotics, which allows for intelligent and integrated control of lighting, blinds, and temperature, both in winter and summer.The property can also be used as a second home, making it an ideal solution both as a main residence and as an investment in one of the most exclusive areas of Lugano.The day area includes a spacious living room with a Stosa design kitchen, complete with latest-generation appliances. The central island recalls the tones of the oak parquet that characterizes the entire apartment. A wide window door directly connects the interior to the perimeter garden of 75 m², offering a continuity between indoor and outdoor space - a rare plus in the city center.The night area includes a master bedroom with direct access to the garden, a second single bedroom, a bathroom with a bathtub, and a second bathroom with a shower, both finished with high-level materials.From an installation point of view, the building is equipped with a air-water heat pump system with underfloor heating, which guarantees uniform and efficient heating in winter and cooling in summer. The apartment is also equipped with mechanical ventilation with heat recovery, which ensures a constant air exchange and high living comfort, as well as solar panels for more sustainable energy supply.For the summer period, an air conditioning system is planned for the day area, which contributes to the partial dehumidification of the rooms.The PVC windows with triple glazing are designed to automatically interrupt the operation of the air conditioning when opened, avoiding nullifying the effect of cooling and dehumidification. The summer comfort is further optimized thanks to the use of internal blinds and curtains.The residence is also distinguished by exclusive services reserved for residents. On the seventh floor, there is a splendid rooftop of 107 m² with a lake view, embellished with a whirlpool bathtub. In addition, the residence has an elegant wellness area with sauna and counter-current pool, as well as a fitness area with Technogym equipment and access to an outdoor area with garden and barbecue, creating a living experience similar to a private boutique resort.In addition, the residence offers a common area of high value, where a shared kitchen will be set up. Within this area, each apartment will have a private wine cellar.The residence finally offers a common laundry room: each apartment will have a private washing machine and dryer, and a large and comfortable clothes drying rack will be available to all.The 120 m² green facade with automated irrigation system gives the structure identity and contributes to environmental well-being.The property is completed by a basement and a parking space in the underground garage, which is excluded from the sale price for 130,000 CHF, with the possibility of acquiring a second parking space.
