Single house for sale - 2502 Biel/Bienne

Welcome to the historical charm of the Beaumont district in Biel

Townhouse with history and potential in Biel

This charming corner house with its characterful appearance offers a unique opportunity to combine historical flair with central living. Located in the sun-drenched Beaumont district, which is protected as a structural group, the property impresses with its fine surroundings, a cozy garden, and a terrace with stunning views of the Alps. The house convinces in many other aspects:

• Living area: 190m² usable area spread over 3 floors in the spacious townhouse
• Rooms: Four separate rooms (9.2m², 12.4m², 12.4m², and 22.2m²)
• Kitchen: 10.6m²
• Shared living and dining area: 34.4m²
• Floors: Various parquet floors in all rooms
• Wet areas: Shower/WC, bathroom/WC, and guest toilet - each floor with a wet area
• Ancillary rooms: around 60m² distributed over heating room, multipurpose room, attic, wine cellar, and traffic areas
• Garden: South-facing garden around the house (corner house) with access from both sides (Beaumontweg and Weissenrain), sunny terrace for dining table, sun loungers, and summer home office

What makes it perfect is the quiet neighborhood location combined with the hillside location:

• Cul-de-sac on both sides of the house and thus free of through traffic, noise, and danger, especially for children (the Beaumontweg will be newly designated as a street for residents, which further improves the parking situation in the already well-available blue zone)
• Behind the house is a private path, which can easily be referred to as a play street and is used accordingly.
• The hillside location means an unobstructed view from all floors and also from the garden.
• The wonderfully sun-exposed location and view are largely unobstructed, as the properties in front are also classified as worthy of preservation and are located in the structural group Beaumontweg/Weissenrain.

"Townhouse" means: Everything is close!

• Funicular station Beaumont is reached in 2 minutes on foot (3' to the valley station Biel or to Evilard).
• Bus station Spitalzentrum, without incline 300m away (bus lines 5 and 6)
• Public transport station Biel Helvetiaplatz is reached in 3 minutes on foot (also bus lines 5 and 6), closer than the Spitalzentrum but with a more significant elevation difference
• Kindergarten and primary school Walkermatte is reached in less than 5 minutes on foot.
• It takes about 20-25 minutes on foot to reach the secondary school (even less with the funicular).
• Spitalzentrum about 300m walking distance
• Motorway connections: Taubenloch [10'], Bözingenfeld [15'], Orpund/Biel-Mett [15'] and Brüggmoos [15']
• Despite the city, the forest is within throwing distance and offers high-quality local recreation area

Biel shines with its diversity and the Beaumont district with its tranquility

The Beaumont district on the outskirts of Biel offers an ideal combination of forest-close tranquility, sun-drenched hillside location, and urban accessibility. The cul-de-sac on both sides of the house prevents through traffic, noise, and danger, allowing for more safety for children. Accordingly, the private path "Weissenrain" is also lively used by children as a "play street".

The Leubringen railway (Funiculaire Evilard) is just a few minutes' walk from the house and connects the district directly with the Biel old town and the vibrant city center. Biel itself is ideally connected as a transport hub. The train station offers a regular train service to the Swiss centers Lausanne and Yverdon-les-Bains (via Neuchâtel), Zurich and Olten (via Solothurn), Basel SBB (via Delémont), Bern (via Lyss), and La Chaux-de-Fonds. With the eastern city bypass, traffic coming from the A5 (Solothurn), A6 (Bern), and A16 (Jura) is cleverly intercepted, which calms inner-city traffic and increases the quality of life for the residents of Biel.

The Biel lakeside promenade invites for relaxed walks and leisure activities, but the diverse shopping options and markets in the center are also not to be missed. As a watch city, Biel is home to significant companies such as Swatch Group (administrative headquarters), Omega (headquarters), and Rolex (manufacturing plant) – a city with much dynamism, culture, and history.

Conclusion

With this unique combination of historical architecture, protected neighborhood character, and one of the best residential locations in Biel, this townhouse offers a rare opportunity for a new home.
