Single house for sale - 8756 Mitlödi, Hauptstrasse 10

Imposing, villa-like manor house. Nestled in a romantic park with gnarled old trees and quiet corners. 11 rooms, 456 m2 usable space and a spacious outbuilding: A home for a large family, a multi-generational house or for the model of living and working in the same place.

Previously, Mitlödi lay, hence its name, "in the middle of the wilderness" between two streams, at the foot of the Vorderglärnisch. Before industrialization, the settlement was a small mountain farming village along the old country road that runs above the current main road.

Today it is a pretty little village with a lot of quality of life. The winter sports resort of Elm, the car-free Braunwald, the Klausen Pass, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Glarner main thrust: Live where others want to vacation. Those seeking a bit of urban flair as a counterbalance to so much relaxing country life will find it just a few minutes by car in Glarus, the smallest capital in Switzerland.

The house is located in a popular residential area, the Unterdorf. A villa-like solid building from the 19th century is for sale. Situated in a lovely park, it is very stately, with a hipped roof, striking corner pilasters, and two portals; the opening to the north is accessed via a grand staircase. Strongly sunlit, the house offers an impressive panorama from the Vorderglärnisch to the Freiberg Kärpf, the oldest hunting reserve in Europe, and far in the south, towering above all, is the Tödi.

In Glarnerland, such manor houses are often found, villas of manufacturers, patrician houses of the former upper class, or simply economically successful people. They should confer a high status on their owners through representative architecture and a certain elegance. The key features are always similar: generously built, luxurious furnishings, large plot, free-standing building.

Through a grand staircase with a beautiful portal and a double-winged door, the visitor enters the house. A spacious entrance hall, then a counter-running U-staircase with a landing; the starting posts and the fillings of the staircase are an extraordinary carpentry work.

A flight of stairs leads to the first floor: A stately living kitchen, a grand living room with a wonderful tiled stove, and two more rooms, one of which has access to the veranda and a first WC. To the right, the stairs lead to the basement, where there are two rooms with slate floors, two vaulted cellars, and the south portal, leading out to the enchanted garden - romantically overgrown and full of blooms.

On the second floor, three more rooms, a pretty bathroom, and another WC. On the third floor, a large and a small attic, then again two rooms, one of which is stylishly equipped with a washbasin. Under the gable roof, a spacious studio, elongated, gable-shaped, an inspiration. Without visible load-bearing structure, with minimal knee wall and a large, crescent-shaped window facing south.

Such a stately residence also includes an outbuilding: Two garages below, above a total of 120 m2 of storage space on two floors, a dream for teenagers or for a hobby that requires a lot of space. The garden is bordered by a man-high wall and is a fairy-tale retreat. Native and wild-growing plants provide food and nesting places for birds and insects. Looking from the veranda, one feels right in the middle of the forest.

The property is a gem with extraordinary interior design. Many building components are from the construction period, almost two hundred years old, high-quality craftsmanship and accordingly well-maintained. Overall, the building is well-kept and well-maintained inside. Everywhere white plaster and stucco, paneled ceilings and walls, built-in wardrobes, strip floors, all very tasteful.

The house is ideal for people who either want to indulge in the luxury of a lot of stylish space or need space because they are part of a large family. A multi-generational household is also conceivable. The model of living and working in the same house is also possible - representative office spaces could be integrated. Those who wish can first optimize a little and then focus on living. Or one can carry out a larger renovation and turn the building into a jewel externally as well.
