A special gem with history - anything but ordinary

This charming former day laborer's house from 1840 was extensively renovated in 1997 and delights with its unmistakable character and the charm of traditional living culture.

The property is ideal for 1-2 people who appreciate historical building substance. The house offers a solid foundation and at the same time opens up possibilities for further developing the living spaces according to one's own ideas and adapting them to 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, there is a kitchen with a traditional wood stove, a 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 corridor between the residential building and the stable leads to the southern outside of the house. In front of the house is the access to the cellar with the storage heating. Room heights in the ground floor and upper floor are just under 2.00m.

Via the staircase, you reach the upper floor with an anteroom. From here, there is access to a small, street-side bay window and to two cozy, fully paneled rooms with wood paneling.

Over a threshold, you enter another room that was added to the house in the course of the overall renovation in 1997 and was expanded into a spacious living area. With a room height of 2.55 m, a cozy Swedish stove, and a generous window front, this area convinces with its bright and inviting atmosphere. The large windows let in plenty of daylight and offer direct access to the 21 m² large covered veranda.

The inviting and protected veranda invites you to linger and enjoy. From here, the view sweeps over the idyllic landscape to the Alps, a view that impressively underlines the special charm of this property.
