Department store for sale - 2504 Biel/Bienne, Chemin Du Coin / Eckweg 5

The property was built in 1927 and expanded with the commercial part in 1962. It is located in a quiet residential and commercial area, halfway from Solothurn to the Biel city center and equidistant to the nearest highway connection.

Currently, the property is uninhabited, but the extension as well as part of the residential property is used as office space and commercial area (the transfer of ownership will be rent-free). The two parts of the property are currently connected but also have a separate entrance. The options of living and working, commercial building, or a full use as a residential unit offer maximum flexibility.

The interior

The front entrance of the property leads to the subsequently created commercial part. A staircase leads to the ground floor/raised ground floor, where two spacious rooms of approximately 30m² each are available. Another room, currently used as a storage room, offers an additional 12m² and can be used flexibly.

On this level, there is access to the residential house through the breakthrough during the expansion work. The residential part from 1927 also has a separate entrance.

Here are three rooms that are currently used as offices. The first room has a small bay window that creates an open atmosphere and lets in plenty of daylight. The adjacent room with a south/east orientation and generous area can be used individually or connected with the bay window room to create a spacious area. Another, slightly smaller room complements this floor. There is also a toilet on this floor. The sanitary facilities are available to set up a full bathroom here.

From the ground floor, the internal staircase leads to the 1st floor, which is almost identical to the ground floor - except for the bay window. Another room, which was previously used as a kitchen, is currently used as a break room. From here, you can access the outdoor area, where there is the possibility to create a generous roof terrace - perfect for enjoying the evening sun of Biel to the fullest.

Above the upper floor is the attic, which can be used as additional storage space or transformed into a cozy, open room with charming sloping ceilings through expansion.

In the basement, there are the cellar and storage rooms as well as the building services of the original building and the extension. Three rooms belong to the first construction phase - here are the boiler, washing machine, a wash basin, and additional storage areas. In the extension, there are three more rooms, including two former storage rooms with 61 m² and 65 m² respectively, as well as an additional 12 m² storage space in the anteroom.

The outdoor area

A highlight in the outdoor area is the multitude of parking options. Additionally, there is a garage with space for one to two vehicles - alternatively, it can be used as a bike and/or motorcycle shelter or as a storage room for garden tools.

To the south and west of the property extends a green area that can be transformed into a perfect place for cozy barbecue evenings.

The residential and commercial building has been continuously maintained by the current owner, but the interior design no longer meets the current standards in all areas.

With initial investments, the house can be used immediately as a commercial property. As a residence, larger investments in both the interior and exterior areas must be expected.

The property is currently rented but will be handed over rent-free upon transfer of ownership. There are no long-term rental obligations, so immediate self-use or re-renting is possible.
