Giornicostrasse 238a, 4059 Basel
A rare collector's item with history and character in Basel's Bruderholz
There are houses you visit. And there are houses you experience.
This exceptional single-family home is far more than a property - it's a piece of Basel's cultural and art history. As the former residence and workplace of Basel artist Walter Läuppi, the property uniquely combines architecture, art, and living culture.
To this day, numerous artistic elements, reliefs, and works preserved in the house bear witness to his creative signature and give the property an unmistakable identity. They are partly directly integrated into the architecture and make the history of the house tangible to this day.
The originally built-in 1946 residential house was expanded in 2018 with exceptional finesse and comprehensively renovated. The original character was consciously preserved and supplemented with high-quality architecture and modern living comfort. The result is a harmonious interplay of tradition and modernity - stylish, high-quality, and full of personality.
Spacious living rooms, visible wooden constructions, carefully selected materials, and lovingly preserved details give the entire house a warm and inviting atmosphere. With approximately 226 m² of living space, spread over 7.5 rooms, the property offers versatile usage possibilities for families, art lovers, or people looking for something special.
The lovingly designed garden forms a protected oasis with high privacy and harmoniously fits into the overall picture of this exceptional property. Here, a sense of living is created that is rarely found in this form.
Walter Läuppi's artist's house is not a house for everyone. It is aimed at people who appreciate the value of genuine architecture, lived history, and cultural identity. A rare opportunity to acquire a unique home with a soul.
