In the heart of Mendrisio's old town, on the top floor of Residenza Santa Maria, a carefully restored period building, this apartment gathers the light beneath its original roof beams. The 2004 restoration preserved its character and charm, giving a generous, welcoming volume that looks out over the rooftops of the centre. Served by the lift, the apartment opens through an entrance onto the living area, where the sitting room with fireplace and the dining area with open kitchen form a single open space, the timber ceiling shaping both the room and its atmosphere. The master suite has a dressing area and private bathroom. The two adjoining bedrooms are currently opened into one room, now used as a studio, with access to the covered terrace, and the original layout can be reinstated as needed. A second bathroom completes the interior. The apartment includes a cellar and a space in the residents' garage. The residence also offers a shared laundry and a well-kept garden. In the historic centre, the setting combines the appeal of the borgo with easy connections: the station and the Academy of Architecture are within walking distance. A residence of character, in the heart of the Mendrisiotto.
