Hus for Køb i Kusnacht, Zürich

Fantastic location with breathtaking lake view and lots of privacy Extending to more than 3,600 square meters, this residential estate is a fabulous oasis offering elevated living in an exclusive setting. Built in 1938 with a keen appreciation of its uniquely special location, the villa exudes understated elegance and timeless grandeur and was further enhanced by the later addition of the park-like garden with pool and romantic, pergola-covered walkway. The garden pavilion was harmoniously incorporated in 1982. Throned imperiously above the houses below, this splendid villa benefits from sightline-protected views overlooking the lake as far as the mountains beyond. A captivating backdrop that affords an exceptional degree of privacy, making it a pure idyll that is totally uplifting. Spread over 400 square meters of living space, eleven-and-a-half generously proportioned rooms as well as five bathrooms await the new owners. There is also extensive ancillary space including sauna, wine-cellar, technical maintenance rooms, cellars and storage areas, while the garages can accommodate four cars. The property has been well maintained, although interior finishes would in the meantime benefit from an update. Discerning purchasers accordingly have the one-off opportunity to renovate this rarely available prospect to their own specification, extend it, or even - thanks to the significant amount of building reserve - consider replacing it with a new-build.
