Schwanden has over time become a typical Glarus industrial village, but has remained a pretty settlement with a high quality of life. Situated at the confluence of the Linth and Sernf rivers and surrounded by striking mountains, near the Klöntalersee, reminiscent of a Scandinavian fjord, the family-friendly winter sports resort Elm, Glarus, the smallest main town in Switzerland, car-free Braunwald, the Klausen Pass, the UNESCO World Heritage Site Glarner Hauptüberschiebung: Live where others want to spend their holidays.

Everything looks very rural and everywhere you see well-maintained, renovated properties or tasteful new buildings. The Glarus Süd region offers living space, jobs and an interesting local recreation area. The relative proximity to the Greater Zurich area allows commuting to work, a high quality of life and relaxing leisure activities speak for a life here.

The compact village centre shows that the place was originally a mountain farming village. This part of the settlement is so worth seeing that it is listed in the Federal Inventory of Protected Settlements of Regional Significance. A diverse residential area: Narrow, winding streets lead to the settlement area, there are stately terraced houses with curved gables and modest properties of small farmers. The buildings stand at irregular intervals, mostly they are close together and form rows or are grouped into semi-detached or terraced houses. The property to be acquired is part of a four-family house.

The ground floor has a kitchen-living room, a bathroom with shower and a separate toilet. Above, on the upper floor, a first room, with a partially open partition wall. In the attic a second, large room. There is also the exit to the roof terrace. In the basement a spacious cellar, a second entrance and a special feature: A shop with a shop window.

The roof, facade, windows and doors were renovated in the 1990s and are in good condition. The house has many beautiful, classic elements: The strip floors with an impressive patina, the coffered ceilings and walls appear particularly worth preserving. The plan was to rebuild the kitchen and bathroom, have the painting work done and upgrade the electrical installations, but the renovations were not fully carried out, life got in the way.

The property can remain a holiday home, as a cosy starting point for sporting activities, in a special area with quality of life and high recreational value. Or you live here permanently - this building is an affordable, charming home for many: Singles, couples, families. Ideally suited for those who enjoy doing handicrafts.
