Approved Project – Penthouse with Duomo Views in the Heart of Como’s Historic Center

BHHS Palazzo Estate presents an approved project for a prestigious penthouse located within the historic center of Como, on one of the city’s most renowned historic streets. The penthouse will be situated in a building of significant architectural value dating back to the 19th century and enhanced in the early 20th century by interventions by Antonio Sant’Elia, an internationally recognized figure. The façades, decorated by the celebrated architect, lend the building a distinctive character of notable artistic importance.

The third-floor apartment will comprise three principal rooms, while the upper level is currently configured as a loft to be redeveloped. The extensive use of glass will allow both the surrounding historic architecture and the green profile of the Como hills to be fully appreciated. The fourth floor features original “Cotto Lombardo” terracotta flooring, particularly rare and of considerable value, which may be enhanced through careful restoration.

The property, measuring approximately 500 sum (5,382 sq.ft.), extends across the third and fourth floors of the building, with approximately 85 sum (915 sq.ft.) on the third level and over 400 sum (4,306 sq.ft.) on the fourth, which represents the top floor and currently constitutes the largest available top-floor property within the historic center of Como. The dominant position and the absence of adjacent structures ensure broad views over the heart of the city, with outlooks onto Piazza San Fedele, Piazza Martinelli, and partial views of the upper section of the Cathedral of Como. The building’s particular placement, free from contiguous constructions on three sides up to the third floor and on all sides at the fourth level, represents a rare feature within the urban context.

Approval has also been granted for the installation of an elevator with direct access to the apartments.

The property stands at the intersection of the two principal streets of the ancient Roman Castrum — today Via Bernardino Luini and Via Indipendenza — now animated by elegant boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and favored routes for both residents and visitors. Only four buildings occupy this historically central position, which still preserves the original Roman cross-axis layout.

The Città Murata represents the historic heart of Como, where art, history, and cultural life converge. The surrounding area offers museums, pedestrian paths, high-end retail, and immediate access to the lakefront. The surrounding hills provide opportunities for outdoor activities, panoramic walks, and nature trails. The principal airport distances are approximately 45 minutes to Milan Malpensa, approximately 55 minutes to Milan Linate, and approximately 60–70 minutes to Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport. Como San Giovanni railway station is just a few minutes’ walk away, as are the main services and points of interest.
