"A lot of space for life, just steps away from the lake"

It's the short distances to Lake Untersee and the generosity that characterize this residential building at Schiffgasse 11. In the Stad district, surrounded by a grown village quarter, it offers a place where life doesn't have to be limited to a single floor plan.

Behind the facade, the living rooms are spread over three floors. The property is divided into three separate apartments, making it particularly interesting for multi-generational living. Grandparents can be part of family everyday life while each household maintains its own area. Adult children can also find the opportunity to live independently and yet in familiar proximity. Those who want to use the space offer differently can combine self-use with rental or create space for working from home.

The house lives from its versatility: from rooms for encounters and from retreats, from space for everyday life and from reserves for new needs. Individual areas have been modernized over the years, while others can be renewed according to personal ideas. This creates the opportunity to preserve existing structures and further develop living gradually.

A special retreat is the garden behind the house. It invites you to spend time in the green, sit together with family or friends, or enjoy a quiet moment for yourself. Just around 100 meters away lies the shore of Lake Untersee. Whether a short walk in the morning, a bike tour after work, or a free afternoon by the water: the proximity to the lake enriches everyday life in a completely natural way.

A house for people who appreciate communal living without sacrificing independence and are looking for a place that also leaves room for future phases of life.

Ermatingen is located in the canton of Thurgau on the southern shore of Lake Untersee. Schiffgasse 11 is located in the Stad district, in a grown village quarter with older residential buildings, gardens, and short paths to the water. The surroundings are characterized by a quiet residential atmosphere and the small-scale development of the historic district.

The lake shore is about 100 meters away. Walks by the water, bike tours along Lake Untersee, and relaxation in nature practically begin at the front door. The flat property and good sunlight complement the living quality. The surrounding houses create a familiar, village-like environment.

A grocery store is about 500 meters away, the next public transport stop about 350 meters. Schools, further shopping facilities, and gastronomy are located in the village. The regional connections make Kreuzlingen and Konstanz as well as the hinterland of the canton of Thurgau accessible. Schiffgasse thus connects the tranquility by the lake with the facilities of daily needs.
