What makes this house special can hardly be rebuilt today.
Exceptional architecture, spacious rooms, and an unmistakable 90s California character: a house that is hardly found today and perhaps should not be reinvented.
There are houses that could stand anywhere. And then there is this house in Balsthal, which could just as well stand somewhere in California.
The spacious room sequences, striking roof shapes, the bay window, the many window surfaces, and the special connection between inside and outside remind one of the California homes of the 90s. Warm, confident, a little extravagant and completely different from much of what is built today.
Precisely this lies in one of the greatest qualities of this property. Because instead of losing its character with a complete renovation, one can use what is already available. With a stylistically suitable and yet modern furnishing, new colors, textiles, lighting, and targeted adjustments, the 90s California style can be reinterpreted in a contemporary way. How well this can work is shown in the detailed exposé using selected visualizations.
Inside, you can expect 7.5 rooms and around 260 m² of living space with plenty of room for family, guests, work, and retreat. Alone, the over 90 m² large living, dining, and entrance area conveys a generosity that is hardly found today. Maple parquet, fireplace, and selected natural stones additionally emphasize the individual character.
Outside, this way of life continues. The 1,094 m² large plot of land offers plenty of greenery, privacy and space for long summer days, joint meals, and quiet hours in your own garden.
And that's why this ad is not enough.
The real specialty lies in the interplay of architecture, materials, spatial feeling, and this unmistakable California feeling. A house with a signature that is hardly built today and will not be found again so quickly.
That's why we've created a detailed exposé. In it, we take you through all areas, show materials and architecture in detail, and illustrate how the existing character can be further developed with a modern interpretation of the 90s California style.
Request the complete exposé and discover the Villa Bel Air in all its uniqueness. We look forward to you!

This is about the building's façades, with the shade of neighbouring buildings and the terrain. How much of it reaches a flat depends on the floor and the windows.
