Fontana Sotheby's International Realty - Charming villa with spectacular views of lake Schwarzsee and mountains

Description

Your opportunity to live in a lovingly restored hillside Villa with spectacular views of lake Schwarzsee, the Sense Valley, and the surrounding mountains.

The home is located in a wooded setting on a 10'300 sqft lot (959 m²) that features a lawn, high hedges, and mature trees.

Mostly restored and renovated, this home has a spacious 3'089 sqft (287 m²) of living space on 2 floors.

The upper level has a generous layout with 4 bedrooms, a bathroom with tub and shower, separate toilet, dining room, large entry, living room with fireplace, pantry closet, and kitchen. The spacious terrasse can be used all seasons.

The lower level adds another 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, separate toilet, kitchen, and living room. There are two additional rooms that can be used as office, yoga space, or storage.

The lower level can easily be rented as a one-bedroom apartment—or for use by guests—with its own private entrance, and large front patio with views of the lake.

The home is located on the Southwest side of the lake and can be reached easily. This part of lake Schwarzsee is less developed than the north side of the lake, in a quieter and more private setting.

The access via the private road offers 1 outside parking space, 1 parking space behind the house and 1 garage.

The Schwarzsee region is located at 1'047 m altitude and is known for its year-round activities. Hiking, biking, and sailing in the summer, and skiing in the winter. The area has over 13 miles (22 km) of ski runs, including night skiing. Two charming hotels and restaurants at the north end of the lake provide modern comfort and dining convenience. Together with the adjacent Nature Park Gantrisch area, and the mountain range Schwyberg, this area offers countless hiking trails. The city of Fribourg can be reached in about 45 minutes and the capital Bern in about 55 minutes.

Construction

Built in 1975, the villa has benefited from extensive renovations over several years, the last one in 2020. Also, the living space has been extended.

The unique architectural style of the home includes locally sourced grey stone from a Sense area quarry.

The heated room of 34.2 m² on the lower level can be used as an art studio, office space, or yoga/exercise room.

The oil heating system was revised in 2010 and the heat is distributed by radiators.

The fireplace with the cast iron Palazetti insert in the living room, offers another heat source during seasonal cool spells.

The carpet flooring on the upper level needs to be replaced. This is an opportunity to design the flooring according to the new owner’s personal taste.
