Rare Basel gem in a popular residential location

This charming turn-of-the-century townhouse is located in the popular St. Alban quarter, also known as Gellert in the northern part, in one of the most prestigious areas of Basel. The neighbourhood is characterised by the stately villas built next to each other with wonderful city gardens.

Wartenbergstrasse is highly regarded as a noble family residential area and is known as a quiet and popular neighbourhood street.

Public transport links such as the tram and railway station are perfect, and all shopping facilities, doctors, banks, etc. are just a few metres from the property and within easy walking distance.

Built in 1902 by the renowned Basel star architect Gustav Visscher van Gaasbeek (1859-1911), the townhouse has many typical stylistic elements that still retain the unique charm of Art Nouveau and historicism today. All of these elements have been preserved in their original state and are a delight for any property connoisseur. The attractive property has been very well maintained by the previous owners and offers a high quality of life for a large family with children. Between 2018 and 2019, approx. 1.5 million was invested in the technical maintenance of the property.

Behind the unique, elegant yet simple façade (Basel understatement), the interior conceals a wonderfully well thought-out room concept over three residential floors plus basement and attic. You can expect attractive herringbone parquet floors, room heights of up to 3.40 metres with beautiful stucco ceilings, to name but a few.

The entrance to the house leads via the vestibule into the spacious entrance hall with open staircase, cloakroom and guest WC. The centrepiece of the garden level of this property are the communicating rooms, the large eat-in kitchen, the two-part living room and the front veranda (conservatory) with access to the garden area. There is also another large room ( office ) and a home office on this floor (called archive in the plan).

A beautifully curved staircase leads to the first floor. Here there are a total of three rooms, a large family bathroom with bath, shower double washbasin and WC, a small bathroom with shower and WC, a utility room and a separate WC. At present, the two largest rooms of 30 and 19 square metres are used as a second family living room area with adjoining library; these two rooms could also serve as additional bedrooms. The third room serves as a master bedroom, as the family bathroom is also accessible en-suite.

The first floor offers a self-contained teenage area with two rooms, a large bathroom with adjoining walk-in dressing room. A further room on this level currently serves as a guest room, which also has its own en-suite bathroom. The 17 sqm sun terrace on this level is accessible from both the teenage area and the staircase and offers plenty of privacy as well as a wonderful view of the greenery and the almost seamlessly connected gardens of the neighbourhood.

If more space is required, the large attic, which offers plenty of storage space across the entire house, could also be converted.

In the equally spacious basement, in addition to the forecourt with separate WC, there is the boiler room, a large storage cellar, a wine cellar, a bicycle cellar, the laundry room and a large hobby room.

Outside there is a low-maintenance and beautifully landscaped city garden with mature trees that will delight you completely. The large property consists of two plots, the separate building land plot is currently used to extend the aforementioned city garden and there is also the possibility to park your vehicles behind a gate.

Conclusion of the Immoline:

The purchase of such a 'Basel jewel' normally only occurs every 30 years. For reasons of age, however, the family would like to part with this family residence. We would like to emphasise the particularly fair price-performance ratio of this art nouveau villa.
