This lovingly renovated 7.5-room single-family house from the 19th century combines historical charm with contemporary living quality. On over 2,350 m² of land, it offers generous living spaces, stylish details, modern technology, and plenty of privacy. Herringbone parquet, underfloor heating, PV system, smart home, and an expanded attic with loggia make this house a unique gem – quietly located in the family-friendly Teufen and ready for new stories.
Alte Haslenstrasse 7 is located in a quiet, established residential area east of the village center of Teufen. The surroundings are characterized by single-family homes with well-kept gardens, old trees, and a pleasantly family-friendly atmosphere. The location is slightly elevated and offers occasional views of greenery.
The street itself is low-traffic and primarily serves local traffic. This allows residents to benefit from a quiet residential area with a high quality of life. In just a few minutes on foot, you can reach the center of Teufen with shopping options, cafés, banks, schools, post office, and other services. The train station is also easily accessible on foot – the Appenzeller Bahn takes you to St. Gallen in about ten minutes.
Immediately in front of the door, walking paths and smaller hiking trails begin, leading into the gentle hilly landscape of the Appenzellerland. The nature-close location, combined with the very good accessibility of everyday facilities, makes Alte Haslenstrasse a particularly attractive place to live – quiet, green, and yet well connected.
The entrance already welcomes with a generous effect and clear structure. From here, a separate guest WC, the descent to the developed basement, the open access to the living area, and the stairs to the upper floor are accessible.
On the ground floor, the spacious living and dining area is designed openly yet appears clearly zoned. The adjacent kitchen area is functionally divided, stylishly equipped, and still communicates openly with the dining area. A second entrance creates additional flexibility in everyday life. Generous window areas open the space to the terrace and garden – the connection between inside and outside is fluid.
On the first upper floor, there are two bedrooms, one of which has a directly connected dressing room, as well as a spacious office with a beautiful view. A stylish bathroom, a separate WC, and practical built-in wardrobes complement the room offering on this floor. The open intermediate area in the staircase, flooded with light and generously sized, is ideal as a reading or play area.
The second upper floor also has such an intermediate area in the staircase, which can be used as a retreat zone or gallery. Here is the master bedroom with an attached, spacious dressing room and another bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and walk-in shower.
The developed attic offers additional space for a studio, another office, or guest room. A charming loggia creates a small outdoor space with a view.
In the basement, around 73 m² of space is available. The former crawl space has been completely developed and now offers plenty of room for storage, workshop, or hobby rooms. The above-average ceiling height also ensures comfortable use here.
Throughout the house, the floor coverings have been carefully coordinated and chosen with an eye for quality, aesthetics, and durability. In the living areas, a newly laid herringbone parquet provides timeless elegance and a warm, homely atmosphere. The classic laying pattern gives the rooms structure and depth – perfectly complemented by the pleasant underfloor heating.
In the 1st and 2nd upper floors, a historical beech parquet from the 19th century has been uncovered, painstakingly restored, and reintegrated into the room design. This authentic substance connects history with craftsmanship and creates a special material presence.
In the entrance, kitchen, and wet rooms, carefully selected tile floors have been laid, which not only stylistically match the house but are also robust and easy to maintain. The tile flooring in the entrance area takes up the historical architecture in color and texture while conveying a clear, modern line.
Whether old or new – each floor tells its own story here and harmoniously fits into the overall concept of the house.
