Historisches Wohnen Am Kulturpfad — Ein Besonderes Zuhause In Der Nagelschmiedgasse

Welcome to a place that uniquely combines history, quality of living and lifestyle. In the idyllic Nagelschmiedgasse, in the heart of the historic centre of Alt-Bickendorf and directly on the cultural trail, an exceptional home awaits you, offering approx. 212 m² of living space and a spacious, lovingly landscaped garden. As soon as you enter the townhouse, it becomes clear that living comfort and character come together harmoniously here. The generous layout offers a wide range of possibilities for families, couples requiring additional space or people wishing to combine living and working under one roof. Bright rooms, a pleasant living atmosphere and numerous design options create a home that meets the highest standards, both today and in the future.

The centrepiece of the property is the expansive garden—an oasis of greenery in the middle of the city. Whether enjoying relaxing hours on the terrace, children playing on the lawn, sociable barbecues with friends or bringing individual garden dreams to life, here you can enjoy peace, privacy and an exceptional quality of life. A special feature of the garden is the studio, built in 2011, with a light well and stove. Whether for creative work, artistic projects or crafts, this creative space offers inspiration, concentration and personal development.

The attractive townhouse was built around 1911. A total of seven rooms, comprising approx. 212 m² of living space, are distributed across three residential units. Additional usable space is located in the basement of the house.

The highlight of the ground floor is the large, light-filled living and dining area with an open-plan kitchen and direct access to the terrace and garden. In 2010 and the years that followed, the house underwent extensive renovation. This included, among other things, the installation of a gas central-heating system, upgrading the electrical installations, replacing various windows, renovating the floors, fitting the terrace with Bangkirai wood, work on the roof and rain gutters, insulating the basement ceiling and redesigning part of the staircase. In addition, the roof was insulated and the attic converted in 2023. The house therefore combines the charm and established structure of a stylish period property with the comfort of comprehensive modernisation.
