A historic residence in the heart of Gruyères – Authenticity, charm, and unique potential! Built around 1460 and patiently renovated over the centuries, this emblematic building perfectly embodies the soul of the medieval town of Gruyères. Between stone and history, it finely combines the charm of the past with the comfort of today. Nestled in the heart of one of Switzerland’s most prestigious villages, it captivates with its timeless character, generous volumes, and versatile potential. With a living area of approximately 400 m² spread over five levels, built on a plot of 377 m², this property stands out with a rare configuration: a large commercial space, a character duplex apartment, and an independent studio – three distinct spaces united in one exceptional building.
On the ground floor: A commercial space of over 140 m² offers considerable potential: art gallery, boutique, exhibition space, or restaurant... The volumes, bathed in light, allow for imagination to run free. An office and a separate toilet complete this level, combining charm and functionality.
The first and second floors host a superb duplex apartment with 5.5 rooms (approx. 190 m²): The period details have been carefully preserved. A fitted kitchen with dining area, a bright living room adorned with a closed fireplace, an office, and a guest toilet make up the first level. On the upper floor, three elegant bedrooms, one adorned with an authentic medieval fresco, recall the fascinating history of the place. A spacious bathroom with a whirlpool bathtub, shower, and double sink completes this space that is both noble and warm.
On the top floor, an independent studio of approximately 70 m²: With a private entrance, this space is appealing for its brightness and flexibility. Ideal for hosting guests, creating a professional space, or generating rental income, it includes a large living area, a modern bathroom, and a mezzanine offering a sleeping area or office.
The basement houses several technical rooms and storage spaces: cellar, boiler room (oil boiler from 1999 with two 2000 L tanks), shed, and direct access to the terrace complete this residence.
Charming outdoor spaces and modern comfort: The west-facing terrace invites you to enjoy sunsets over Gruyères, with the backdrop of lush landscapes and the majesty of the surrounding mountains. On the technical side, the property benefits from fiber optic, a water softener, and a gas connection already planned.
Between 2000 and 2006, significant renovation work was carried out: complete roof refurbishment, interior insulation, window replacement, installation of oil heating, complete renovation of the kitchen. In 2021, the commercial space was fully renovated.
An exceptional living environment: Perched on its hill, the county town of Gruyères unfolds its timeless charm. Ranked among the most beautiful villages in Switzerland, it enchants with its medieval architecture, its emblematic castle, its museums, its cobbled streets, and its renowned restaurants. The municipality, which includes Gruyères, Pringy, Épagny, and Moléson-sur-Gruyères, has about 2,200 inhabitants and is part of the Gruyère Pays-d’Enhaut Nature Park, ensuring the preservation of its heritage and environment.
Gruyères benefits from excellent accessibility: The Bulle–Montbovon railway line serves the village station, easily connecting Montreux and Gstaad. The H189 provides a quick connection to Bulle, Fribourg, and major roadways.
