Hidden in one of the most sought-after residential areas on Bruderholz, nestled in a lovingly maintained garden, lies this charming family house that conveys a sense of home from the very first step through the front yard. The house was built in 1953 and has been lovingly maintained, modernized, and continuously cared for over the years. Many architectural details – from the warm oak parquet floor to the open floor plan – tell of the care with which this home has been lived in. And from the balcony on the upper floor, the view sweeps into lush greenery – a moment that feels like a small vacation every morning.
Spread over three floors, a well-thought-out space offering unfolds, harmoniously combining functionality and livability. Already in the entrance area, the bright, inviting living area opens up with large windows and direct views into the garden. The open floor plan, part of a comprehensive renovation in 2006, creates seamless transitions to the adjacent kitchen – modern, practically designed, and thoughtfully furnished. Dark granite countertops, new sanitary installations, and the complete renewal of the electrical and water systems create a space that is contemporary yet retains charm.
Also on this level is a discreetly placed guest toilet. From the living room, one directly accesses the beautifully landscaped garden, which was completely redesigned as part of the renovation. First, you enter a covered dining area, ideal for warm summer evenings, then an idyllic garden paradise unfolds with small retreats, a fish pond, a pizza oven, and vegetable beds – versatile and characterized by relaxed naturalness.
A few steps higher is the heart of the house: the first upper floor. The quiet master bedroom offers retreat and wide views – with its own balcony above the treetops. Right next to it is a separate dressing room that elegantly facilitates everyday life. The daylight bathroom on this floor was enlarged and modernized in 2006. It presents itself simply, bright, and soothing – with a timeless shower and high-quality materials.
The attic was completely converted into living space in 2020/2021. Under high ceilings and charming sloping roofs, there are two more rooms, one of which is currently used as a passage room. In 2024, another bathroom was added here – with a toilet and sink – making this floor usable as an independent living area, for guests, teenagers, or a home office.
The basement also impresses with its spaciousness and brightness. The well-kept cellar area offers not only storage space but also room for hobbies, a workshop, or a small studio. Household chores like washing and ironing can be done here comfortably – in an atmosphere that is both functional and inviting.
The 264 m² plot offers privacy and space – like a small country house in the middle of the city. The living area of around 129 m² (BGF) is distributed over 5.5 flexibly usable rooms that can be ideally adapted to various life models – whether for families, couples needing space, or people wanting to combine work and living.
The house is efficiently and reliably heated via radiators, supplied by a modern gas heating system that was newly installed in 2014. The property includes a garage directly on the plot. In front of it is another parking space for a second vehicle or visitors. Additional parking options are available on the street or in a nearby underground garage.
The location is hard to beat: quiet, green, and yet well connected. Bus and tram are reachable within a few minutes' walk, as are shopping facilities and the vibrant city center. This house combines the best of both worlds – proximity to the city and connection to nature, functionality and atmosphere, tradition and possibilities. It awaits to be filled with life by new residents. Perhaps by you.
