Unterengstringen: a listed residential and studio building set in green surroundings

A house with a distinctive character and plenty of privacy

The concept of the architect Werner Max Moser, this distinctive property enjoys a completely unspoiled setting bordering orchards. Its elevated position in Unterengstringen offers privacy, far-ranging views and abundantly green surroundings, yet is still within easy reach of the village and the city of Zurich. The property will appeal to those intentionally seeking a simpler way of living in a decidedly special place with scope for development. The heart of the house is formed by the spacious living area, with ceiling heights of up to 4.5 metres. The kitchen is open to the living space. The compact layout is ideally suited to a one or two-person household. Two additional rooms, one with its own kitchenette, a bathroom with shower, plus a guest WC and a large, natural earth-floored cellar complete the accommodation. The extensive studio directly adjoins the house. It provides an ideal setting for creative pursuits while allowing for a wide range of individual uses. Visible traces dating from the time of painter Max Gubler reflect the property’s history and imbue authentic character to the studio. Several terraces, a covered seating area and the garden provide tempting spaces in which to spend time basking in the outdoor sun. The property is in clear need of renovation and will require a carefully considered refurbishment. Due to its heritage-protected status, any alterations to the building must be agreed in advance with the cantonal planning authority responsible for listed buildings. There is no dedicated parking space, although several parking options are available within short walking distance. Access to the property is via a flight of steps. The property - A home set in green surroundings with extended vistas - Compact accommodation with studio, approx. 116m² living area (house and studio) - Approx. 17m² cellar - Numerous outdoor areas
