PROPERTY DETAILS
DESCRIPTION
Welcome to your loft of superlatives. This architectural highlight in the listed former spinning mill building combines the historic industrial charm of the “Old Spinning Mill” with a fantastic sense of space and a continuous ceiling height of 3.85 meters. The nearly floor-to-ceiling windows and the interesting orientation ensure plenty of light and a typical loft ambiance. Here, a variety of room layout options are available, whether with fixed walls or – as currently implemented – with cleverly designed mobile room dividers. Up to four rooms or themed areas can be created – while preserving the typical loft character. Enjoy the freedom to live the way you want.
The centrally located, open-plan kitchen by Hans Eisenring, equipped to a high standard, will make any cook’s heart beat faster. From here, the view extends across the entire open living area, which, thanks to its east and south orientation, forms the light-flooded heart of the home with views of the urban greenery. An attractive, artfully decorated family bathroom and the adjoining bathroom with shower and toilet, which also integrates the washer and dryer, are ideally located next to the bedroom and entrance area, respectively.
The “Old Spinning Mill” has been sustainably renovated in accordance with historic preservation guidelines and boasts Minergie certification with automatic ventilation, which has a very positive impact on energy consumption. A cellar storage unit and an underground parking space complete the attractive offering.
As an additional highlight, the building features a party/hobby room that can be booked exclusively for events, as well as a very large, lockable bicycle storage room.

Price context
This listing: CHF21,191/m² — 12% below the median of CHF24,061/m² across our 21 listings in this area.
Reading a price below the area level: a lower per-m² price can be genuine value — larger units price lower per m², and motivated sellers exist — but check the usual reasons first: renovation needs, noise exposure (roads, rail, flight paths), unfavourable floor or orientation, leasehold/servitudes, and pending building-fund obligations in condominiums. Points in its favour here: public transport (Zürich Wollishofen — 16 m · 1 min walk), schools (Chindsgi Rote Fabrik — 488 m · 6 min walk), daily amenities (Coop — 76 m · 1 min walk).
No map data found nearby for: water proximity — worth asking the agent about these.
