A catastrophe stands at the beginning
About 300 years ago, the lower old town was almost completely destroyed by a fire. In 1716, the reconstruction began. Our residential building dates from this time and was long used as a tannery.
Top-modern renovation in historical walls
In the last twenty years, the property has been completely renovated. Bernese parquet floors, sandstone walls, a frieze, wonderful roof beams, and historical wall cabinets have been restored with great attention to detail. But all electrical and sanitary installations have also been replaced, new modern kitchens and bathrooms have been installed, and with the roof renovation and additional insulation, energy efficiency has been massively improved. Finally, a central vacuum cleaner now makes cleaning the living spaces easier. At Mühlegasse 12, you live in historic walls but can still enjoy the highest living comfort.
Not just enjoy - but also work
On the ground floor, there is a small commercial space, currently serving customers of a hairdresser. The three upper floors offer a total living area of 275 m². Not to forget is the wonderful terrace, which is complemented by a magnificent pavilion.
Anyone who wants to indulge in a lot of space can use the entire living area - like the current owners - for themselves alone. The floor plan is also ideal for multi-generational living or for a modern shared apartment. Of course, these areas can be repurposed as offices or for a practice if needed. A combination of living and working is also possible.
Even Bern is right at your doorstep
In the lower old town, you not only live in a picturesque and historically valuable environment but also extremely centrally. The train station, numerous shopping opportunities, restaurants, museums, cinemas, and schools are just a few steps away. Thanks to excellent train connections, you can also reach Bern in just 20 minutes.
A separate garage on the neighboring property
You can park your car in a separate garage located on the neighboring property. This parking option is not included in the sale price and can be purchased for CHF 50,000 if needed.
