Description

Loft / studio apartment on the top floor of the old textile factory and above the former Wasserwerk-Club in the Berner Matte for rent. The approximately 135 m² were taken over in raw rent at the beginning of the 2000s and carefully expanded by the previous tenant over the years.

Open spaces, reduced materiality, industrial history, and direct view of the Aare and the bears. Painted cement floor and custom-made stairs, kitchen fittings, and the rotatable Chemine-Ofen give the apartment its own character. The house has studios, apartments, sound studios, a dance school, and co-working spaces. The apartment is rented as a sublease from the direct neighbor.

There is the possibility to take over the apartment with a fixed contract period until 2035 (analogous to the main contract) as a sublease. Further self-expansion is also conceivable.

The apartment is most suitable for a single person or a couple. It is not suitable for children.

  • Gable height 5 meters

  • Elevated open sleeping loft

  • Small balcony with a view of the Aare and the bear park

  • Large rotatable Cheminee-wood stove

  • Bathtub / WC

  • Mini-attic and living platform with storage space

  • Open kitchen with new steam extractor, washing machine, and dishwasher

  • Newly renovated and painted: floors, walls, and electrical installations
