Our offer:

A central residential and commercial building in Brienz, in a prime location near the train station and the Brienzer Rothornbahn and ship dock.

The wooden block house, which is under monument protection, was built in 1778 and received an eastern arcade facade with the addition of a studio apartment in the attic around 1900.

In 1996-1998, the entire building was renovated and expanded with the north-facing annex.

The residential and commercial building includes the former Rothorn pharmacy with 2 sales counters on the ground floor, a 3.5-room apartment on the upper floor, a 4.5-room apartment on the top floor, and a 1.5-room studio apartment in the attic.

The house has approximately 621 m2 of net floor area, 9 rooms with a total of 327 m2 of net living space, and 202 m2 of commercial space with a large retail space of 133 m2 and plenty of window space, as well as storage, staff, and technical rooms.

The individual floors are equipped as follows:

Ground floor
On the ground floor, with access from the main street 105, a modern retail space (pharmacy) was built, barrier-free and with an outdoor fire cellar. This includes a laboratory area for the production of house specialties, the revised Compactus roll-up storage for general goods, the floor-mounted EDV system, a separate treatment and consultation room, the meeting area with fresh water fountain and refrigerator, 2 sales counters, several standing and sitting workstations, staff areas, a small office, the large area for customers with well-lit sales gondolas and shelves, the Gilgen door automation, underfloor heating, and the central vacuum cleaner for cleaning work. A new Mitsubishi air conditioning unit (installation cassette for cooling in summer and heating in autumn/winter/spring) is also available.

In the rear area, we also find a small room with the high-value oil burner Ryll 2005, the electrical panel, the heating distribution for the commercial area and the apartments, the water meters, a fire extinguishing system, and a toilet/sink.

Upper floor
On the upper floor, with eastern access from Oberdorfstrasse 1, there is a 3.5-room apartment.

A separate entrance on the east side of the house leads via a vestibule to the staircase and to a lockable office, which previously belonged to the pharmacy but is now used as an additional room for the 4.5-room apartment on the top floor.

In the rear area, there is a lockable garage for 1 car with an automated garage door. In the garage, there is also the technical area with an electricity meter, a high-current connection for an electric vehicle, a central vacuum cleaner, and 2 x 1,000-liter oil tanks (revised in 2021).

Outside, a large natural herb garden and an acacia pergola with grapevine and a large, protected grill area have been created.

Top floor
The main apartment with 4.5 rooms can be reached via 2 different entrances. On the one hand, via the eastern outdoor arcade or via the indoor staircase from the upper floor. The apartment has a spacious entrance hall with wardrobe, a very cozy living and dining area with gallery and a natural stone oven Hase, a modern open kitchen, 2 bedrooms, and 1 room with sauna and shower, which can also be used as a bedroom.

Then there is also the large bathroom with shower/toilet, double sink, V-Zug washing machine/tumble dryer to mention.
For the sauna/wellness area, an efficient Mitsubishi air conditioning unit was installed for cooling and heating.

In the new building section, there is a large wellness area with B+S Finland sauna, whirlpool, open cold/warm water shower, and toilet/sink. A spiral staircase leads to the small gallery with the household area in the attic. Also in the new building section, there is another bedroom with 2 windows and an air conditioning unit for cooling/heating.

Attic floor
In the attic floor, which is accessible via the eastern arcade staircase, there is a studio apartment with its own air conditioning system for cooling in summer and heating in winter. The apartment is equipped with a kitchen, a wet cell with shower/toilet/sink, and an attic room with washing machine/tumble dryer. A seating area on the arcade offers a very nice view of the surroundings and the natural herb garden.

In the studio apartment, there is a door that would allow access to the archive room in the attic of the 4.5-room apartment. It is currently locked.

The large attic in the wooden block house serves as an archive reading and working room, has 2 small windows under the south roof, and a Velux® folding window with automatic protective roller blind to the west. Access to the room with 3 electric hot water boilers. The smaller attic in the new building has 2 Velux® folding windows with automatic protective roller blind and serves as a household area. Here, there is a spiral staircase down to the wellness area with sauna.
