A townhouse with history – and plenty of room for family life

This representative villa combines historic elegance with contemporary comfort and offers space for discerning families who are looking for something special. A rare opportunity to acquire a piece of Basel's building history!

There are houses whose special quality cannot be expressed solely in square meters. Houses that have grown over generations, tell stories, and possess an atmosphere that modern architecture can only rarely create.

This stately townhouse in the sought-after Bachlettenquartier is such a home.

Built around 1906 by the architect Josef Meyer, the property combines the characteristic architecture of its time with a generosity that opens up extraordinary possibilities for families today. On three living floors, approximately 250 m² of living space are available; the total usable area is around 360 m².

As soon as you enter the house, its history becomes tangible. High ceilings, herringbone parquet, wooden paneling with simple cassette profiles, stucco elements, radiator covers, and the classic sliding door tell of an era in which living spaces were designed with great manual care. These historic elements give the house its special warmth and understated elegance.

The ground floor forms the center of family life. The living room and dining room offer generous room proportions and beautiful views of the winter garden and into the garden. The modern kitchen is equipped with Miele and Electrolux appliances and provides direct access to the outdoors. A separate study with a charming niche and a guest toilet complement this living level.

Up the beautiful oak wooden staircase, you reach the upper floor. Here are the spacious master bedroom with balcony and garden view, three more rooms, and a bathroom with a bathtub. The herringbone parquet continues on this floor as well, connecting the individual rooms to form a harmonious overall picture.

The attic offers completely new possibilities: Four more rooms and a small bathroom with shower, sink, and toilet create space for older children, guests, au-pair, home office, or individual retreat areas. A house, therefore, that can adapt to different phases of life and still offers enough space when needs change over the years.

A special luxury – especially in the middle of the city – is the sunny, southwest-facing city garden. Completely fenced and protected, it offers children and pets space to play and the whole family a private retreat for long summer days, shared meals, or quiet hours in the green.

The Bachlettenquartier itself: one of the most sought-after residential areas in Basel, characterized by beautiful streets, grown architecture, and plenty of green spaces. The Schützenmattpark is located in the immediate neighborhood, while the city center, schools, shopping opportunities, and public transport are easily accessible.

A house for people who are not just looking for more living space, but a place with history, character, and enough room for their own life.

Perhaps exactly the home your family has been waiting for. We look forward to your inquiry.
