Single house for sale - 4704 Niederbipp, Dorfstrasse 4

Description

Residential building with vision – Stylish ground floor with studio character

This freestanding residential and commercial building in Niederbipp impressively combines history, space, and potential. Built in 1892, the property has been continuously expanded, renovated, and modernized over the decades. Today, the house presents itself as a true space wonder with a living and working area of 378 m² (soon over 430 m²), spread over four floors with a total of 11 rooms, four bathrooms, and three fully equipped kitchens.

Particularly exciting is the current use: The ground floor primarily serves as a creative production studio, while fully developed living areas are found on the upper floors. The floor plan structure allows for a division into up to three residential units if desired, making the house ideal for large families, multi-generational projects, as well as living and working under one roof.

With a volume of 2,041 m³, six outdoor parking spaces, an expanded attic, and continuously modernized technical installations, this property also meets high demands for spatial comfort and versatility. Thanks to double to triple-glazed windows and robust construction, the living experience is consistently quiet and pleasant.

The living and working experience begins on the ground floor

The open living and/or working and dining area combines solid exposed masonry with contemporary materials: A modern kitchen with high-gloss gray fronts, a central kitchen island, and complete appliance fittings forms the heart of the space. Open shelves and work surfaces in oak optics create the perfect setting for creative breaks or communal cooking.

The adjacent living and/or working area impresses with a soothing mix of a low-maintenance poured floor and textile elements – a space that radiates calm while allowing for creative work.

Audio recording room & music studio

A true highlight of this property is the audio studio with an integrated professionally soundproofed recording booth for voice recordings, singing, or other music productions. The sound control room offers space for a large table as well as a side workspace and various shelves. Behind the studio, there is enough storage space for various technical equipment.

Flexibility in space – storage and office integrated

In the passage to the other rooms, there is a spacious multipurpose room suitable for shelves and other items. Currently used as a storage and printer room, the space is also predestined for other uses due to its central location. In this passage, there is also a water connection and a drain, which would allow for the installation of a shower.

In the rear area, office space is available for several workstations with storage space and daylight from two sides. Currently, there are two office workstations and three places for the video control of the adjacent video studio.

Video studio or would you prefer a garage?

A small staircase leads to another room with about 35 m² of space. Originally, Emmental cheese wheels matured here. Later, this room served as a garage, then as a bathroom with an integrated fitness studio. Currently, however, a TV studio is in operation there. Due to the ceiling height, a photo studio would also be conceivable. And for those who prefer a huge bathroom, they could admire their Harley Davidson from the bathtub. Access would be through the insulated garage door.

Practical details: Guest WC and dressing room

A guest WC directly next to the TV studio and a separate dressing/laundry room with a washing tower provide additional comfort on the ground floor – whether used privately or commercially. Both areas are stylishly designed and fit harmoniously into the overall concept.

Staircase as a central connection

The spacious staircase with plenty of wardrobe space elegantly connects the upper living unit and also allows for a clear separation between the usage units – ideal for multi-generational solutions, living and working under one roof, or as an investment property with several apartments. Upon reaching the top, the light-flooded loggia, which serves as an oversized hallway, delights. Reading and coffee corners are practically a must. A part of the loggia is currently even used as an additional workspace.

Living comfort with style: Generous living/dining area & kitchen

The open-plan living/dining area on the upper floor delights with a harmonious mix of rustic and modern elements, giving the space a homely yet individual touch. The windows of the former kitchen have been converted into a pass-through and a central entrance for this area. Thus, the living area benefits from daylight from three sides. The robust floor in chestnut optics additionally creates a warm ambiance.

However, the highlight will undoubtedly be the gallery currently under construction with a staircase from the living room to the attic. From the sofa, the view opens up to the roof, including visible beams.

The advantageous floor plan offers the possibility for a seating area with a view of the central fireplace, a separate TV corner, as well as a dining area located between the living area and kitchen.

The kitchen is designed in a charming country house style but offers all modern amenities – including high-quality appliances and well-thought-out storage solutions. Because behind the kitchen, there is a pantry equipped with shelves that provides space for everything that should not be missing in a well-organized kitchen.

Home cinema enjoyment

The cinema room is an absolute highlight for film enthusiasts. Thanks to the completely darkened design, a high-quality sound system, and a 100-inch screen, this room offers a private home cinema experience. The comfortable chairs make every movie night a special event. Gaming sessions can also be experienced in a different dimension this way. But: if necessary, this room can of course also serve as another bedroom.

Retreats and functional rooms

Further thoughtfully designed additional rooms complement the living offer on the upper floor. A practical dressing room – essentially a walk-in closet – with open shelves and clothes rails ensures perfect wardrobe organization. The bright fitness room with windows on two sides is ideal for daily training – whether with equipment or as an open space for movement. It previously served as the main bedroom. The charming guest room with a wooden ceiling and warm atmosphere offers itself as a quiet retreat or multifunctional room.

Bathroom with daylight and comfort

The friendly designed bathroom impresses with a generous design bathtub with rain shower, a washbasin with a large mirror, and plenty of storage space. A large window provides pleasant daylight and natural ventilation. A separate guest WC with a window complements the facilities on this floor.

Stylish apartment & planned living area in maisonette style

A part of the attic has already been converted into a stylish apartment, which impresses with its own living/dining area, kitchen, bedroom, and bathroom. Visible wooden beams, a clever room layout, and warm materials give this area a charming alpine living feel with a view of the Jura – ideal as a separate living unit, for guests, for rental, as an extended main bedroom, or for the slowly maturing teenager.

The second half of the attic is currently in the final stages of expansion – this will be professionally completed and handed over by the current owners.

An opening to the underlying living floor with a gallery and high ceiling is planned, creating a maisonette style that significantly enhances the living experience. The upper level will seamlessly connect to the already existing living room and will be expanded in a similar style to the apartment – with visible wooden structures and plenty of space for individual living.

This architectural intervention not only creates an impressive spatial volume but also visually and functionally connects the floors into a unique living ensemble. A true highlight with rarity value. And on top of that, the available living space will be expanded by another good 50 m².

Cellar with expansion potential

The spacious cellar with over 76 m² of space not only offers plenty of storage but is also ideal for conversion into a stylish wine cellar. The masonry vaulted structure, combined with a constant temperature, creates optimal conditions for storing fine wines.

Surroundings and outdoor area

The main house stands on a compact plot. Nevertheless, there is the possibility to create some garden beds on a green strip next to the house. In addition, the house has a truck ramp that currently serves as a greened veranda.

For those who need more land and storage space, there is the option to purchase a second, directly adjacent plot (170 m²) with a two-story barn with about 50 m² of ground area. The associated garden of about 120 m² offers a small wooden terrace that provides plenty of evening sun, especially in the summer months.

In front of and next to the house, there are six approved parking spaces. Additional vehicles can be parked. A camper/motorhome also finds plenty of space. The extension to the main house can be used as a carport. A summer kitchen would also be conceivable, as water and electricity connections are available.

Versatility meets potential

This extraordinary residential and commercial building combines generous living space, flexible usage options, and expansion potential under one roof. Whether as a family residence, with a separate apartment, or as a combination of living and working – the property offers space for individual life concepts. Thoughtful floor plans, charming details, and a spacious outdoor area complete the overall picture and make this property a rare opportunity for visionaries with high standards.
