Apartment for sale - 1040 Echallens

Just 20 minutes from the center of Lausanne, this unique property built in 1933 is part of the modernist architectural heritage, inspired by Le Corbusier. Fully renovated between 2023 and 2025 under the guidance of the cantonal heritage authorities, it now subtly combines historical character with modern requirements.

In a peaceful and green environment, this beautiful penthouse apartment with 6.5 rooms and a private entrance entices with its unique charm and spacious rooms. With a living area of about 150 m², it offers a cozy atmosphere and an ideal layout for comfortable family living.

Upon entering, one discovers a carefully designed first level: A closed, fully equipped kitchen adjoins a spacious living room and dining area with a functional fireplace, creating a true center for social life. This level also includes two bedrooms – perfect as a bedroom, office, or library – a bathroom with an attached toilet, a master suite with its own bathroom, and a guest toilet.

An elegant staircase flooded with natural light leads to the upper floor. There, a bedroom opens onto a balcony with unobstructed views of the surrounding fields and hills. On this level, you will also find a charming second living room with a fireplace, which can certainly serve as a bedroom. This room provides access to a beautiful 20 m² winter garden, which is extended by a generous 48 m² roof terrace – a true haven of peace, ideal for relaxing in any season.

The architecture reflects the functional and puristic spirit of the modernist movement: simple volumes, flat roofs, large horizontal openings, and a pilotis-supported extension. Several original materials and colors have been carefully preserved or reinterpreted, giving the ensemble a rare aesthetic coherence.

The recent works have integrated sustainable technical solutions: heat pump heating, underfloor heating, photovoltaic system, as well as special care in restoring the existing woodwork. The basement additionally offers various practical spaces – cellar, laundry room, and a multipurpose room.

The garden, designed in the spirit of landscaping, offers a quiet and pleasant outdoor area. A closed garage and two parking spaces complete this property, in addition to the sale price.

This apartment combines modern comfort, authenticity, and a privileged living environment. A rare gem that should not be missed.
