Single house for sale - 1553 Châtonnaye, Chemin De La Côte 2

Individual houses with garden

Charming village house built a little before 1919 and regularly maintained and transformed to offer a welcoming and warm setting. Located in the village of Châtonnaye, this property benefits from an authentic environment, preserving the traditional character of the municipality.

Châtonnaye is well located, halfway between Fribourg, Lausanne, and Payerne, close to major roadways (A1 and A12), while maintaining a quiet rural setting. Romont, just 10 minutes away, offers major rail connections, making access to large Swiss cities easier.

The building is erected on a plot of 256 m2 for a living area of approx. 130 m2, distributed over 3 levels.

Ground floor: Kitchen space, bedroom with dressing room, hall, and WC/shower.
Terrace and green space accessible from the ground floor and/or the first floor.

The lower part can be converted into a one-and-a-half-room apartment or used as commercial space (hair salon, nail salon, yoga, etc.).

The attic can be transformed into two attic bedrooms.

A separate room houses the technical equipment, including the boiler and gas heater.

Additionally, a garden shed of about 10 m² will be particularly functional, not to mention a green area surrounded by a hedge that will allow you to spend pleasant moments, and two covered parking spaces are available.

This house is located in a central zone and is not protected. However, it is within a built site perimeter, which imposes, in case of transformation or reconstruction, to respect certain architectural characteristics of the area, notably by maintaining a pitched roof and traditional openings.

Regarding equipment and technology, heating is gas-operated, and a 200-liter water heater is installed. The windows and shutters were replaced in 2010. The same year, the kitchen underwent renovation and expansion.
