Ref. ILO3354.1
BHHS Palazzo Estate is pleased to present an exceptional penthouse with approved development plans, ideally positioned within the historic center of Como, along one of the city’s most distinguished and storied streets.
The residence will occupy the upper levels of a significant 19th-century palazzo, further refined in the early 20th century. The third floor will comprise three principal rooms, while the upper level is currently configured as a loft space to be reimagined and restored. Extensive use of glass is envisioned to frame both the surrounding historic architecture and the verdant silhouette of the Larian hills.
The fourth floor retains its original “Cotto Lombardo” terracotta flooring—an increasingly rare and highly valuable architectural feature—offering the opportunity for meticulous restoration and enhancement.
The property encompasses approximately 500 sum (5,382 sq.ft.), distributed between the third and fourth floors, with approximately 85 sum (915 sq.ft.) on the third level and exceeding 400 sum (4,306 sq.ft.) on the fourth floor. The latter represents the highest level of the building and currently constitutes the largest top-floor property available within Como’s historic center.
Its elevated position and the absence of adjacent structures ensure expansive, open views over the heart of the city, including evocative outlooks onto Piazza San Fedele, Piazza Martinelli, and partial views of the upper section of the Cathedral of Como. The building’s distinctive placement—free from contiguous constructions on three sides up to the third floor and on all sides at the fourth floor—represents a rare urban characteristic. The façades further enhance the property's artistic significance.
Approval has also been granted for the installation of an elevator providing direct access to the residences.
The property stands at the historic intersection of the two principal axes of the ancient Roman Castrum—today Via Bernardino Luini and Via Indipendenza—now animated by refined boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and the city’s most frequented pedestrian routes. Only four buildings occupy this historically central position, which continues to preserve the original Roman cross-plan layout.
The Città Murata embodies the cultural and historic core of Como, where art, heritage, and contemporary life converge. The surrounding area offers museums, pedestrian pathways, upscale retail, and immediate access to the lakefront promenade. The nearby hills provide opportunities for outdoor activities, scenic walks, and nature trails.
Key travel distances: approximately 45 minutes to Milan Malpensa International Airport, approximately 55 minutes to Milan Linate Airport, and approximately 60–70 minutes to Bergamo Orio al Serio Airport. Como San Giovanni railway station is just a short walk away, as are the city’s primary services and points of interest.
