Description
This detached single-family house in a quiet, sunny location in Herisau is aimed at lovers of characterful old buildings. It combines nostalgic building substance, a cozy tile stove, and already carried out renovations with a lot of space for individual, contemporary design.
-In the basement, the house has a bright, spacious hobby room with direct access to the outdoor area and a natural cellar.
-On the ground floor, you will find a living area with an original tile stove, a separate dining room, a kitchen, and a toilet.
-The upper floor offers an entrance hall with a built-in wardrobe, a bedroom, a long, narrow room that is ideal as a study, and a bathroom with a bathtub and sink. Practical storage rooms are located on both sides under the roof slopes.
Particularly attractive are the investments made in recent years:
The hobby room was completely renovated, including new windows, radiators, electrical panel, wooden floorboards, and a wooden ceiling with integrated spotlights.
The outdoor area with a seating area, podium, gravel area, raised bed, and privacy screen was also designed.
The west facade received insulation, new windows, and a slate facade. (2024)
The gas heating system was renovated in November 2025.
The property is located in a quiet and sunny area, without through traffic. Public transportation and shopping facilities are easily accessible on foot. An outdoor parking space belongs to the property.
The kitchen and bathroom are functional but no longer meet contemporary standards. The house therefore offers the ideal opportunity to develop a home with history according to your own ideas. It is not a listed building.
6 rooms, approximately 128 m² of living space – ideal for 1-2 people.
Public transportation and shopping facilities within walking distance.
