A Rare Riverside Residence on Schaffhauserrheinweg

A generous 9-room single-family home in one of Basel’s most sought-after riverside locations is now available. Situated on the beautiful Schaffhauserrheinweg, just steps from the Rhine, this elegant residence was originally built in 1898 and has been carefully renovated in 2026.

Arranged across three floors, the home offers generous living spaces, beautiful Rhine views, private outdoor areas, and a remarkable sense of peace and privacy.

Property Highlights

Open-Concept Ground Floor The ground floor is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. It features a spacious island kitchen, a generous living area opening onto a veranda with views of the Rhine, and an elegant dining area. A convenient powder room is located near the rear garden.

Primary Suite The primary bedroom opens directly onto a private terrace overlooking the Rhine. An adjoining room offers flexibility as a sitting room, home office, or additional bedroom. The suite is completed by a dedicated dressing room with bathtub and a generously proportioned bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, WC, bidet, and double washbasin.

Second-Floor Suite The second floor comprises three additional rooms, each of which can be used as a bedroom, office, or hobby room. A stately sitting room or library, highlighted by a large picture window and magnificent Rhine views, provides an inviting space to relax. An additional bathroom with WC, bathtub, and shower completes this level.

Sunshine & Tranquility Generous natural light fills the home throughout the year, while its remarkably quiet setting — both during the day and at night — creates a rare sense of calm. It is a true urban sanctuary directly beside the Rhine.
