Well-maintained spacious 8.5 room single-family house for sale on the southern edge of the old village center of Elgg

The spacious single-family house is located in a quiet residential area at the end of the Äusseren Hintergasse (cul-de-sac, no through traffic) in the southeast of the old village center, about 400 meters from the town center. On the opposite side of the street is the Torweiher. The late Gothic church, the old shooting house, the "Krone" and magnificent half-timbered houses give the place with its orthogonally laid out streets around the church a unique reputation.On a southern hill, about 20 minutes' walk away, is the castle of Elgg, which towers over the town. It dates back to a 12th-century castle and has belonged to the "Werdmüller von Elgg" family for centuries.The single-family house, carefully designed by architect Joachim Mantel, has an excellent building quality. It was built - except for the unheated basement rooms - with a two-shell masonry made of calcium sandstone. Only the street-side front and the garage are clad with blue wood paneling. Inside, we find white-painted exposed masonry. The rooms are bright and appear friendly.In the living area, which is three steps lower, there is a large, representative tile stove that can be fueled with wood from the hallway side. Under the storage areas that separate the dining room and the music room from the living room, there are numerous base cabinets. In the kitchen, we find another wood-fired stove that can be used for both heating and cooking.The room heights are above average (2.90 m in the living area). The kitchen fronts (veneered wood) and the cabinets are in good condition, considering their age. The dishwasher and oven were replaced a few years ago. The work area is equipped with plates made of green-glinting Andeer granite (CH).The property has been very well maintained in the past. The surrounding work has also been carried out carefully. Numerous dry stone walls made of Rorschacher sandstone, trees, shrubs, and a natural planting enhance the garden to a high-quality and pleasant living area.The property is currently heated with heating oil. The heat generation is carried out via a HOVAL burner and boiler (burner: HOVAL TopFlamm 17-32 kW, 2005 / boiler: HOVAL MiniLyt 25.6 kW, 1984). The heat generation should be checked and possibly replaced in the next few years. Additionally, there is a large wood-fired tile stove in the living room and a cast-iron stove in the kitchen.The two heated basement rooms with adjacent bathroom could also be used as an office or practice and made accessible from the outside through the existing garden-side access.https://www.landhaus-schlossblick.ch

Centrally located, quiet and bright - Your new home in the heart of Hettlingen

The Sagipark was created in 2023 on the site of the old Surbeck sawmill at the southern entrance of Hettlingen: 33 apartments, five row houses, and a single-family house, designed by a local architectural firm. The buildings adopt the position, shape, and volume of the Hettlingen village typology — large-volume gable roofs, wooden facades, and a deliberately calm roof landscape. This apartment is not located on Schaffhauserstrasse, but in the recessed building towards the grown core zone, with a distance to the next building. The house has only three residential units — one per floor. The ground floor belongs to this apartment alone: no neighboring party on the same floor, no shared apartment wall. Instead, there are windows on all four sides of the building. In the morning, the sun is in the dining room, at noon on the terrace, and in the evening in the large room on the west side. From the living room, you can directly access the outside: first to the covered porch of about 14 m², which remains usable even in rain and midday heat, then to the terrace and into the garden of about 145.7 m². The garden is flat, grown-in, and faces the green side — a view of the greenery instead of the facade opposite. Inside, the apartment is from 2023 and correspondingly new: flooring, open kitchen with cooking island, dark stone cladding, and partially handle-less fronts, a bathroom with bathtub and double sink, as well as a second wet room with shower and toilet. In the entrance, there is a spacious built-in closet. The corridor distributes to three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the living room/kitchen. Heating is provided by a ground-source heat pump via underfloor heating: no oil, no gas, no heating renovation on the horizon. On the roof, there is a photovoltaic system, in the underground garage, there is a charging management system for electric vehicles, and the apartment is connected to fiber optics. The apartment includes two parking spaces in the underground garage — the two best in the house, one of which is significantly wider due to the garage layout. The garage entrance is located on Mitteldorfstrasse for reasons of local protection; the area itself is accessible via footpaths. A ground floor with elevator, everything on one level, no stairs in everyday life, the garden directly at the living room, and kindergarten, school, Volg, and bus stop within a few minutes' walk: the apartment works for a family just as well as for a couple who wants to downsize from a house without giving up their own outdoor space. The Hettlingen train station is about 1 km away. From there, the S12 and S33 trains run — Winterthur in about five minutes and Zurich in about 30 minutes, as well as the SN3 night connection. Zurich Airport is about 15 km away. You can also reach the Oberohringen motorway exit in about 5 minutes.
