Exclusive Restored Historic Property in Gravedona ed Uniti Lake Como

Gravedona ed Uniti Historic 1769 Chapel transformed into an exclusive charming residence with lake view
Only 5 km from Lake Como, in a splendid elevated position with breathtaking panoramic views, we offer a fascinating historic chapel dating back to 1769, transformed into a refined and exclusive charming home.

The property extends over approximately 92 sqm distributed on two levels, in addition to approximately 45 sqm of evocative basement rooms with vaulted ceilings and a private land of approximately 140 sqm with enchanting views over the lake and the mountains of Upper Lake Como.

This is a truly rare and unique residence. The building was used as a chapel until the early 2000s, when the Diocesan Curia officially declared its “reduction to secular use”. From that moment, a meticulous architectural restoration project began, carried out with extraordinary sensitivity and profound respect for the original structure.

The recent restoration has fully preserved the historical value of the property through traditional techniques, including reed mat plasterwork, and an extremely refined design approach. The guiding principle of the intervention was minimal impact and total reversibility: every inserted element was conceived so that it could be removed without altering the original structure in any way. The entire internal structure, in fact, is anchored to the perimeter walls only in four points, corresponding to the mezzanine frame.

The systems and lighting were also designed with great conservation care: braided cables and radio-controlled ceramic actuators with refined design allow the original surfaces to remain untouched without invasive interventions.

The living area represents the scenic heart of the house: a perfect balance between contemporary design, functionality and historic elegance.

Crossing the ancient entrance portal, one is welcomed by the added internal volume, designed according to the concept of the “internal cabin of a ship”. An elegant staircase leads to the upper mezzanine, where two large side windows frame splendid views over the village and the surrounding mountains.

On the ground floor, inside the “cabin”, there is an elegant and fully equipped kitchen, created according to the highest modern standards. The bathroom stands out for its refined design and carefully studied solutions, featuring a large walk-in shower with essential lines yet generous dimensions.

In the ancient apse, slightly raised compared to the main living area, the sleeping area has been created, enhanced by the original eighteenth-century stuccoes that create an atmosphere of rare elegance and charm.

Outside, the private garden overlooks one of the most spectacular views of Upper Lake Como: the panorama opens onto the point where the Adda and Mera rivers flow into the lake, the famous Palazzo Gallio, and the majestic peaks of the Central Alps, including the Badile and Cengalo mountains.

From the property there is also access to the lower part of the ancient chapel, consisting of two magnificent vaulted rooms with a total surface area of approximately 45 sqm, ideal spaces for the creation of an extraordinary tavern, wellness area, representative wine cellar or convivial entertaining space.

A unique and exclusive property where history, architecture, design and landscape merge into a living experience of rare emotional intensity.
