Construction and general description

Although listed in 1902 by the ECAP, the historic complex of three contiguous buildings, within which is located the building housing the apartment sold, was built between 1856 and 1862.

Located at numbers 7, 9 and 11 Rue du Progrès, in the heart of the Quartier-Neuf which, contrary to what its name suggests, is one of the oldest districts of the Mère Commune, this so-called worker's building is classified 3 in the first category in the architectural census of the canton of Neuchâtel. It is characterized in particular by its transverse gable to the South-East.

Its proximity to the Collège des Girardet and the playground located at the start of the Route de la Combe-Girard in particular, makes it a privileged location for families.

The PPE, distributed at the rate of two apartments per building, has 6 units and was constituted in 1985, the year in which the building benefited from a general renovation.

The proposed accommodation occupies the upper part of the central building and benefits from a double south and north exposure. It is spread over 2 levels, plus a mezzanine, judiciously organized.

You enter the apartment between the 1st and 2nd floors. The landing is enhanced by a closed cupboard and a first flight of stairs leads to the 1st level which houses the sleeping area and its landing ideal for setting up a cloakroom.

The central vestibule allows access to the 3 bedrooms of 9.5, 10.7 and 16.3 m², two facing south, one facing north and to the large bathroom equipped with a bathtub, shower, large washbasin, WC as well as the necessary equipment for the installation of a washing machine and a dryer.

In the stairs leading to the second level, halfway up, a second closed cupboard provides an additional storage solution always appreciated. You then arrive in the vast double living room, illuminated by a bay window to the south and by skylights to the north. Its L-shape offers many different layout possibilities, with its open kitchen and the chimney flue which easily allows the installation of a stove, for example. Very practical, a separate WC as well as a cupboard fitted under the stairs leading to the last level, complete the layout of this floor.

Finally, the icing on the cake, the fully mansarded and closed mezzanine, accessible by a comfortable wooden staircase which opens onto a room of 20.7 m² on the ground which gives access to a charming bedroom of 13.2 m².

Although awaiting a refresh, this apartment with its undeniable charm does not require major work. It will easily accommodate a large family or buyers looking for additional space to set up an office for teleworking or for leisure activities, for example.

It is sold with a large cellar and, if no parking space or garage is offered, it is relatively easy to find one for rent in the immediate vicinity.

It should also be noted that the district offers many parking spaces in the white zone, particularly on the two streets surrounding the building.

Nothing beats a visit to appreciate its full potential!
