Description
This house for sale on Lake Como sits in the hamlet of Careno, near Pognana Lario, with 180-degree lake views, two terraced courtyards and private parking.
It is a renovated stone house of 378 m² with four bedrooms, a garden, a vine-covered portico and a car-and-boat parking space at road level. The location is on the quiet eastern shore of the lake, where houses are reached by pedestrian lanes and the water is a short walk below. The owners kept much of the original character and added modern comfort. Anyone looking for a holiday home on Lake Como, or a base for a longer stay, will find a lot to work with here.
The House Floor by Floor
You arrive from the pedestrian lane into two terraced courtyards. The original entrance opens straight into a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, with a generous dining room next to it. It is a ground floor built for long lunches that turn into dinner.
On the first floor, a second entrance connects to the private parking area. Here you find a large living room with a fireplace, a bathroom with a bathtub, and a further lounge with space for a big sofa. A balcony opens onto the lake. The main rooms on this level are arranged around the view, so the sunset is part of the daily routine.
The second floor has two bedrooms and a shower room, and the windows face the water. Two more bedrooms sit in the attic under exposed roof beams. That gives four bedrooms in total, enough for a family or for guests who come in summer and stay a week. The house has high ceilings and a basement, and it is sold partially furnished, with the kitchen and bathrooms included.
Garden, Courtyards, Parking and Boat
Outside the upper entrance there is a private courtyard with room for a table and chairs, a good spot for morning coffee. The garden is generous for a lakeside village and has mature plantings. At the lower end, a vine-covered portico looks over the lake. It is the place for aperitifs while the light changes in the afternoon.
Parking is the detail that matters most to anyone who knows these villages. In Careno and the neighbouring old hamlets, private parking is rare, because the lanes are narrow and mostly pedestrian. This house has a large space at road level that currently holds both a car and a boat. The boat can be bought separately, and a transfer of its berth at the nearby marina may be possible, so ask for details during a viewing.
A small two-storey rustic outbuilding adjoins the house. It was once a barn and is now used for storage and as a wine cellar. It could suit a workshop or hobby room if you want to change its use.
Living Between Pognana Lario and Nesso
This stretch of the eastern shore is quieter than the busy western side. Nesso is close by and known for its Orrido gorge and old stone bridge. Bellagio lies further up the lake, and the ferries make it easy to cross to the other shore without a car.
The city of Como is the main town on the lake, with its shops, restaurants and the lakefront villas such as Villa Olmo. The Swiss border is also in reach, which matters if you plan to work or send children to school across it. Milan Malpensa is the main international airport for this part of Italy. Check the drive time for your own arrival schedule, since traffic around Como and Milan varies a lot.
As a second home in Italy, a house like this works best if you are comfortable with steps and lanes. Everything is on foot or by boat. Lake Como property with its own parking and garden is scarce, and that is the reason this one stands out in Italy real estate listings for the area.
