Imposing architect's house with large grounds
Localisation
Quellenweg 12, 4402 FrenkendorfCharacteristics
Description
The architect's house, built in high-quality solid masonry, is located in a popular single-family home area in Frenkendorf, in a sunny and preferred residential and panoramic location.
The walls of the property were built in solid masonry, the ceilings are made of reinforced concrete. The outer walls are solid masonry composite exposed brick and concrete. The copper flat roof was built in a rafter construction. The condition can generally be described as good. There are no defects in the basic structure that would affect the statics (load-bearing capacity) of the property.
The windows are made of wood-metal with insulating glazing from 2013. The balcony doors are older and in need of renovation. The external sun protection is provided by louvered shutters. The roof is completely covered with copper. The roof undersides, balcony railings and roof edges are clad in wood. The insulation thickness of the building envelope is far below current standards.
The condition of the installations and their equipment is generally in a functional, but age-related state that requires renovation. The heating system is based on an oil heating system (tank capacity approx. 9,000 liters). It appears to date from 1993, is still in operation, but is likely to reach the end of its technical life in the foreseeable future. The sanitary installations are also still functional, but no longer meet current requirements in terms of equipment and design. The kitchen is fully equipped and has the necessary functions, but is no longer up to date in terms of design and aesthetics. The same applies to the wet rooms, which also appear to be in need of modernization.
The existing building reserve offers numerous design options, whether through a renovation, an extension or even a complete new build, so that nothing stands in the way of your individual wishes and the dream of your own home.
The highlights of this house:
- Wonderful view over the Ergolz valley
- Architectural testimony of the renowned architect R. G. Otto
