Description
There are houses that provide living space, and there are houses that tell a story. This impressive semi-detached property was built in 1865 on the foundations of an older building (17th century) and today combines historic character with modern living comfort in an exceptional way. As part of an extensive modernization in 2021, the house was carefully brought up to date both technically and visually without losing its unique charm. As soon as you enter, you are welcomed by an impressive hallway with the original checkerboard floor and a representative staircase. High ceilings, historic paneled doors and generous room proportions give the house a living atmosphere found only in historic buildings. During the renovation, high-quality oak plank floors were newly laid, blending harmoniously into the historic overall appearance and giving the living areas a warm and elegant feel. With a total of eight rooms, the property offers a wide range of possible uses—whether as a stylish family home, multi-generational living, or a combination of living and working. The modern eat-in kitchen forms the communicative centerpiece of the ground floor and combines contemporary functionality with the special character of the house. The sunny, south-facing garden with many fruit trees is located at the rear of the plot and offers a high degree of privacy. It can be accessed via the rear exit of the house. The historic vaulted cellar, with an area of approx. 50 m², dates back to the original building that stood on the same site before the 1865 new construction and was destroyed by fire. Today, this exceptional cellar impressively conveys the history of the house while also offering a variety of uses—whether as a wine or pantry cellar, or as an atmospheric storage room. The ensemble is complemented by two outbuildings. One houses the modern pellet heating system, including a pellet store with a capacity of around 3,000 kg. The second outbuilding provides additional usable space that can be heated and is ideal as a workshop. Future living ideas also have their place: the spacious attic has an attractive conversion reserve and offers potential for creating additional living space—subject to building-law approvals. A garage and three parking spaces round off this exceptional offer. A property for anyone who wants to combine historic charm with modern comfort.
