In the wonderful village of Arzo, a part of the municipality of Mendrisio, in the residential hill area at the foot of the Poncione d'Arzo (within the renowned Monte San Giorgio area), we propose an interesting single-family house for sale, which is to be renovated and features a large terraced garden and a beautiful panoramic plot with important building rights, surrounded by nature.
The property, with magnificent dominant views, is located in Via Lör 5, in a position of particular value: reserved and silent, but at the same time strategic thanks to its proximity to the highway exit and the centers of Mendrisio and Chiasso, where all major services, schools, and infrastructure are easily accessible.
Built in the early 1970s and partially renovated in the early 2000s (roof renovation, kitchen, and boiler), the house stands on a plot of great value, which is particularly sunny and panoramic, offering a splendid open view of the surrounding landscape, in a natural context of absolute tranquility.
Distributed over 2 levels, for a living area of approximately 167 square meters, the house is internally composed as follows:
In terms of parking, the property offers a convenient garage for 1 car, 1 covered outdoor parking space, and additional uncovered parking spaces on the external square.
Taking advantage of the notable building potential present, thanks to the current land indices (I.S 0.5), there is the possibility of expanding the existing building up to 330 square meters of living area, allowing for ample customization possibilities. Alternatively, by demolishing the existing building, it is possible to rebuild an important single-family villa up to 497 square meters of living area, or to use the land (in an investment perspective) for the construction of multiple residential units (in PPP or rental apartments).
An ideal solution for families seeking tranquility and at the same time the convenience of proximity to services and infrastructure. Also interesting for real estate investors.
