In a quiet pocket of Wollishofen, you'll find this 4.5-room apartment on the first floor of a dignified mid-century cornerhouse with a graceful curved balcony. One of a pair of matching houses, the buildings retain the undestated elegance of the sisters who commissioned them mid-century. Wernerstr 19 was owed commissioned by two sisters, with the elder claiming the superior corner position on a slightly elevated plot. What they lack in modern materials, they make up for with precision design and precise orientation to the environment.

Inside, the design is harmonious and function, with the service side of the building facing East, with a small balcony off the kitchen that exploits the slight elevation to get the sun first, a single bathroom with dual access, and a separate WC where Romanesque graffiti gives expression to quiet contemplation.

The living zone on the South facing side of the building comprises two adjoining lounges measuring c.18 and 16 sqm separated by double glass doors. Banks of windows are smartly positioned to capture sun the whole day long and cleverly coupled to push air through in Summer so the apartment does not get too hot.

A large bedroom and small 2nd bedroom are on the West side, exploiting the corner positioning to get the most sun and warmth at end of the day.

The wide hallway connects the zones and offers storage cupboards and a classic built in coat, hat and shoe rack. Original parquet floors echo history, character and texture.

The apartment totals 84 sqm and is part of a low-traffic, community-minded street where children still play with chalk in the road and neighbours host summer barbecues on long shared tables set up in the street. Parking in the Blue Zone is easy—often right outside the door. Trenchless sewer work (grabenlose Kanalsanierung) is ongoing until end of August but parks are easily found with only a short walk.

One of the apartment's most distinctive and unexpected features lies two minutes away: Friedhof Manegg, a hidden gem that is beautifully maintained, sprawling, and rarely visited, it offers a near-mystical sense of calm. Mossy old headstones, sculptural modern markers, grazing sheep, winding tree alleys, red maples in bloom, and a west-facing meditation lawn that catches the last light of the day as the sun dips behind the Uetliberg—it's a space that rewards your presence without ever asking for it. Names of loved ones stretch back two centuries, softly reminding you of what really matters. A perfect place to read, reflect, or just walk without a destination to reset your priorities.

Location highlights:

• 5 minutes walk to Morgental, and Butzenstrasse, the pedestiran walking paths are short but steep enough to sharpen your fitness invisibly if used daily.
• Spoiled for supermarkets with Coop, Migros, Denner, Aldi, a Turkish specialty grocer and a cheese and bread delicatessen all within 5mins
• Nearby Entlisberg forest andwith Vitaparcours, the Allmend wiht Sih river paths and playing fields, and Uetliberg access
• Rote Fabrik, the lake, Fischer's Fritz, Bürgli, and the Badi Wollishofen all close by
• 24/7 BP gas station on Seestrasse (a rarity in Zurich)
• Access to the motorway is close by getting you out of the city quickly (and more importantly back without having to pass through the center of Zurich).

This is not your average listing—it's a lived-in, sunlight-drenched home for someone who values atmosphere, honesty, and neighbourhood over polish. It's not flashy but its cleverly situated, designed and built with an eye for seamless integration of environment and interior.
