Loft for sale - 8590 Romanshorn, Friedrichshafnerstrasse 54

Welcome to Kornhaus Romanshorn!

The Kornhaus is undoubtedly an impressive building directly on Lake Constance, comparable to the large warehouses in Rotterdam or Hamburg. The imposing building was built in 1870/71 by the Northeast Railway Company and is of great historical significance.

After extensive conversion, the Kornhaus now consists of 13 loft apartments in the attic, 38 business apartments on the upper floor, as well as gastronomy/lake terrace, banquet hall, holiday apartments, exhibition areas on the ground floor, as well as underground parking, storage areas and building services in the basement. In the Kornhaus you enjoy both the advantages of the urban lifestyle and the patina of a historical building, and this in a unique lakeside location!

You live here in the listed Kornhaus directly on the harbour basin and Lake Constance/marina. Only 300 m from Romanshorn train station, you benefit from first-class train connections (e.g. St. Gallen in 18 min, Zurich Airport in 62 min) and the city centre with various shopping and entertainment options. The Swiss Lake Constance fleet anchors directly in front of your new home. You are only a few minutes away from the motorway.

Loft apartment No. 07 offers spacious rooms with plenty of light and fantastic views of the harbour, lake, Alpstein/Säntis and/or city. The interplay of historical substance, large windows, high-quality wooden parquet and modern metal elements creates the uniquely grounded and at the same time bright character of the loft apartments over 5 m high, thanks to the exposed roof gables.

The cleverly divided Loft 07 is oriented south towards the Alpstein/Säntis with the living/kitchen/dining area and east towards the lake with the bathroom/bedroom and dressing room. The private gallery and the corridor connect the two living areas. On two levels, 197 m2 (160 m2 floor area and 37 m2 gallery area) are available, plus a large cellar compartment (24 m2) in the basement and two exclusive wide underground parking spaces for CHF 38,000 each. The entire building is designed to be wheelchair accessible. Your apartment is directly and conveniently accessible by lift from the underground car park.

Construction began in February 2018. Completion was in August 2020. Why does the loft apartment seem expensive at first glance? Five key points are responsible for this:

Please note firstly that due to the high requirements of monument protection, the purchase price is approx. 30% above the level of comparable new-build apartments of the same size. We have invested a total of CHF 45 million in the Kornhaus. Secondly, due to its location and high standard of development, the Kornhaus has experienced a demonstrably over 20% increase in value in the last 5 years. Thirdly, Loft 07 offers a breathtaking and unobstructed view of the Alpstein massif/Säntis, as well as the marina/shipyard in the south and Lake Constance with its shipping traffic in the east. Fourthly, Loft 07 is unique and one of a kind, just like you! Fifthly, the purchase price has been checked by banks.

If you are seriously interested, please arrange a viewing appointment with us on site in the historical Kornhaus Romanshorn, also at off-peak times, Saturdays and Sundays, if it suits you better!

The sale is supported (e.g. regarding financing) by Lebenswert Invest GmbH in Bottighofen. Your contact person there is Mr. Sven Lindhorst.
