Property Description

This property, which is subject to heritage protection, represents a multi-dwelling unit of six storeys overall. One of them is the basement, which extends over the entire footprint of the building. Being a corner building within a perimeter block, the house is firmly integrated and directly abuts the adjacent buildings. It has two entranceways. Between ground floor and developed attic, the house contains a total of 14 residential units. The residential units represent fundamentally different dwelling types. The flats have dwelling floor areas between 57 sqm and 103 sqm. With the exception of the ground-floor flat, all units in the building are accessible via the interior staircase. The ground floor unit, by contrast, is accessed via the entrance on Hacketäuerstrasse. The corner building occupies a plot of 356 sqm.

Public curbside car parking is available along the street.

The building sits on a strip foundation. The basement contains, in addition to the tenants’ storage lockers, the building’s fibre broadband entry point and the electricity meters. The RCD-equipped small distribution boards of the flats are installed directly inside the residential units. The utilities service entrances for electricity and water are installed in the basement of the building. Hot water is supplied inside each flat by the flat's gas-fired heating unit.

According to the heritage conservation authority, the building was raised in 1902. The stucco façades facing the streets Von-Sparr-Strasse and Hacketäuerstrasse feature pilaster strips, plaster heads in the eaves area and cartouches above the windows. The rear façade consists of rendered masonry. The roof is covered with brown clay roof tiles.
