A dignified old town property with a lot of potential and a beautifully designed garden area

A property where everyone knows each other Majestic, magnificent, and unmistakable, our property on Rütschelengasse forms the portal to Burgdorf's old town. Originally, it was two houses that were merged into one building in 1930. Over the last ten years, significant investments have been made, including the renovation of the 1st floor into a modern 4.5-room apartment, replacement of the heating system, electrical installations, most windows, and the gastro-kitchen. Meanwhile, only the roof, a few windows, and the attic conversion date back to 1981. Until now, it has been a fine guest house, but it could also be a fantastic home The pizzeria Da Gino on the ground floor and the China restaurant on the 1st floor have catered to countless guests over the years. This gastronomic area is in excellent condition and could be revived without significant investment. However, the spaces could also be converted into brilliant apartments that combine old-building charm with modern comfort. The 4.5-room apartment on the 2nd floor is a prime example. Both the ground floor and 1st floor offer a uniquely sunny and spacious outdoor area - right in the heart of the old town. The garden is not the only highlight. When the weather outside doesn't permit a celebration, you have alternatives that many would envy. In the basement, a picturesque vaulted cellar awaits. Alternatively, even larger groups can find a unique location in the grotto, which extends deep under the castle hill. Back to the building: there is optimization and expansion potential in the attic. The existing conversion dates back to 1981 and could now be transformed into a modern apartment like the one on the 2nd floor. The current screed should also be included in the planning. The sloping roof, the old beam combined with original masonry, will give these living spaces an irresistible old-building charm. Parking spaces nearby Unfortunately, parking is not possible on the property. However, the "Oberstadt" parking garage, with parking spaces for rent or purchase, is just a few steps away. Are you interested? Does this modern living in historic walls with a beautiful outdoor area in the picturesque old town appeal to you? We would be happy to send you our detailed sales documentation.
