A special gem with history – anything but ordinary
This charming former day laborer’s house from 1840 was completely renovated in 1997 and impresses with its unique character and the charm of traditional living culture.
The property is ideal for 1-2 people who appreciate historical architecture. The house offers a solid foundation and at the same time provides opportunities to further develop the living spaces according to your own ideas and adapt them to your personal needs.
A unique home for people who want to combine individuality, authenticity, and the charm of bygone times with modern living.
On the ground floor, you will find the kitchen with a traditional wood-burning stove, the dining room, and a bathroom with a shower and washing machine. Directly adjacent is the former stable, which is now used as a practical wood storage room. A connecting passage between the house and the stables leads to the southern side of the house. In front of the house is the entrance to the cellar with the storage heater. Ceiling heights on the ground and upper floors are just under 2.00m.
Upstairs, you will find a landing area accessible via the staircase. From here, you can access a small, street-facing porch as well as two cozy rooms that are completely lined with wooden planks.
A threshold leads to another room that was added to the house during the overall renovation in 1997 and converted into a spacious living area. With a ceiling height of 2.55 m, a cozy Swedish stove, and a large window front, this area impresses with its bright and inviting atmosphere. The large windows let in plenty of natural light and provide direct access to the 21 m² covered veranda.
The inviting and sheltered veranda is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the view. From here, you can gaze out over the idyllic landscape all the way to the Alps, a view that impressively highlights the special charm of this property.
