Description

Striking natural stone accents on the façade, complemented by a solid front door, define this architect-designed home, built in 2015. A well-maintained rock garden and a neighborhood characterized by elegant residences underscore the exclusive nature of this property, which enjoys a tranquil setting on the edge of open fields. Upon entering, residents are welcomed into an impressive foyer. The heart of the home is the expansive living and dining area, where soaring ceilings, exposed timber beams, and a fireplace create a truly distinctive atmosphere. A large panoramic skylight and views toward an open gallery further emphasize the architectural sense of spaciousness. The kitchen adjoins the living area seamlessly. The layout is highly practical, featuring a guest WC and a utility room with direct access to a double garage—which offers ample space for two cars, as well as bicycles or motorcycles. On the upper floor, the gallery serves as a peaceful retreat, offering sweeping views of the surrounding landscape. This level also includes three compact bedrooms and a shower room equipped with an integrated steam sauna. An optimal indoor climate is ensured by electrically operated skylights and a design specifically focused on cross-ventilation throughout the home. The basement provides additional living space, featuring two full-sized rooms and a separate shower room—ideal for guests, a home office, or an au pair. A wine cellar, along with utility and storage rooms, completes the functional layout. From a technical standpoint, the property excels in sustainable efficiency: a heat pump with a cooling function, combined with a photovoltaic system (installed in 2024) and battery storage, ensures modern, high-standard comfort. Triple glazing, insect screens, and electric blinds on the ground floor highlight the quality of the details. Designed with foresight, the house ensures long-term usability through extra-wide doorways, provisions for the future installation of an elevator, and flexible, repositionable interior walls on the top floor. A harmonious home that combines high-quality features with future-proof planning. We would be delighted to invite you to experience this for yourself during a personal viewing.
