Living by the pond – Life with a view, tranquility, and connection
There are places that immediately affect you. You enter them, and suddenly everything slows down. Thoughts sort themselves, breathing becomes calmer, and sounds give way to a silence that is not empty but full of life. This home on Stationsstrasse in Wettswil is just such a place – a maisonette apartment that is rarely found in its type and location. For those who do not seek the extraordinary but feel it.
The Location:
Wettswil am Albis – nestled between city and nature, above the Reuss valley, with views of green spaces and at the same time well connected – is one of the communities where life remains in balance. Proximity to Zurich brings professional freedom, and the surroundings with walking paths, old trees, and a pond right behind the house create balance. Those with children know how valuable it is when the playground is not sought after but simply there – just like here.
Schools, daycare centers, shopping opportunities, basic medical care, and the S-Bahn are also within walking distance – all without having to forgo a quiet, safe, and family-friendly environment.
The Neighborhood:
Here, neighbors greet each other. Children play on the paths between the houses. The surroundings are thoughtfully planned, with plenty of greenery, open spaces, and wide views of the unobstructed environment. The small pond behind the house is not part of the garden – but somehow it is: It is there, visible, calming. Those who live here live with nature – but without sacrificing comfort. The underground garage is directly accessible, walking paths begin at the front door, and on the way home from the train station, one automatically walks slower. Because one can.
The Apartment:
Over three floors unfolds a living experience that is both practical and atmospheric. The ground floor is the communicative center of the house. Kitchen, dining area, and living room flow seamlessly into one another without losing structure. These are spaces where one enjoys spending time – alone, as a couple, as a family, or with friends. The materials are timeless, warm, and inviting. Parquet flooring emphasizes the livability, large windows bring light and the green surroundings into the house.
The absolute highlight: the two private gardens. On the south side, a sunny seating area with an adjacent lawn – ideal for breakfast outdoors, lunch with children, or an aperitif in the partial shade. On the north side, a sheltered garden area, embedded in mature nature, that captures light even in the evening. Because the property cannot be built on to the left and right, a sense of spaciousness is created here that is rarely found in a condominium.
The Upper Floor:
Here, living becomes quieter. Three rooms, all bright, calm, and versatile. Two of them have direct access to the balcony, which opens to the south – a place for undisturbed moments with a view of one’s own garden and the neighborhood. The large bedroom faces north and offers an incomparable view of greenery and towards the pond. In the morning, one first sees nature – no roofs, no streets. Just trees, light, and water. It is a waking up in peace, every day.
The Basement:
The hobby room in the basement offers more than just usable space. It is a room that shapes itself according to your needs: Whether home fitness, playroom, studio, or simply a place for oneself – there is space for ideas here. The space offering is complemented by a closed cellar room with plenty of storage space.
Technology & Comfort:
The apartment is supplied with a modern ground probe heating system providing cozy floor warmth. The furnishings are well-maintained, high-quality, and designed for the long term – tiles in the bathroom and hobby room, well-thought-out floor plans, pleasant room heights, and plenty of daylight on all levels create a living experience that lasts.
The Surroundings:
Wettswil is a community with character. Here, value is placed on quality of life – not just in words, but in everyday life. The tax burden is comparatively low, the educational offerings are diverse, and the mix of locals, newcomers, families, and professionals creates an environment that is lively yet pleasantly unexcited. Whether shopping in the neighborhood, the school around the corner, or the medical practice nearby – everything life needs is there. And for those who want more, Zurich, the airport, or the train to Lucerne, Zug, or Bern is just a few minutes away.
Who is this home intended for?
For people who seek the extraordinary in the everyday. For families who need more than just rooms – but space. For couples who consciously shape life and seek a place that inspires, calms, and connects. For all who say: I want no compromise. I want a home that convinces me anew every day – with light, with spaciousness, with heart.
