Basel-Gellert / St. Alban | Urbanität trifft Wohnqualität

Die Liegenschaft befindet sich an attraktiver Lage im beliebten Gellertquartier (St. Alban), Basel – in einem gewachsenen Wohnumfeld, das zu den etablierten und geschätzten Wohnlagen der Stadt zählt.…

Das Gellert verbindet auf angenehme Weise die Nähe zum städtischen Leben mit der Atmosphäre eines gewachsenen Wohnquartiers. Charaktervolle Liegenschaften, begrünte Grundstücke und eine angenehme Wohnstruktur prägen das Umfeld und verleihen diesem Teil Basels seine besondere Ausstrahlung.

Gerade bei diesem Stadthaus setzt sich dieses Gefühl hinter der Fassade eindrucksvoll fort.

Während man die Vorzüge der Stadt in unmittelbarer Umgebung weiss, öffnet sich rückwärtig eine überraschend grüne Welt. Der gewachsene Garten mit seiner üppigen Vegetation schafft einen privaten Gegenpol zum urbanen Alltag und vermittelt ein Wohngefühl, das mitten in einer Stadt alles andere als selbstverständlich ist.

Das Gellert bietet dabei jene kurzen Wege, die Basel so angenehm machen. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, Schulen, Dienstleistungen, Gastronomie, öffentliche Verkehrsmittel sowie zahlreiche Freizeit- und Kulturangebote sind in das städtische Umfeld eingebettet und komfortabel erreichbar.

Auch die Verbindung zu den übrigen Stadtteilen und den bedeutenden Wirtschafts- und Arbeitsstandorten Basels macht die Lage attraktiv für Menschen, die ihre Zeit lieber mit Leben als mit langen Wegen verbringen.

Hier muss man sich nicht zwischen Stadt und Rückzug entscheiden.

Man lebt in Basel – und kommt zuhause dennoch zur Ruhe.

Basel | International geprägt, persönlich geblieben

Basel besitzt eine seltene Mischung aus internationaler Bedeutung und persönlicher Lebensqualität.

Als einer der weltweit bedeutenden Standorte für Life Sciences, Pharma, Forschung und Innovation zieht die Stadt Menschen und Unternehmen aus aller Welt an. Gleichzeitig hat sie sich eine Überschaubarkeit bewahrt, die den Alltag angenehm und persönlich macht.

Der Rhein zieht sich wie eine Lebensader durch die Stadt. Seine Ufer sind Spazierweg, Treffpunkt und während der warmen Monate ein fester Bestandteil des Basler Lebensgefühls.

Die historische Altstadt, eine international renommierte Museumslandschaft, Theater, Architektur von Weltrang sowie eine vielseitige Gastronomie- und Kulturszene verleihen Basel eine kulturelle Dichte, die weit über die Grösse der Stadt hinausreicht.

Hinzu kommt die besondere Lage im Dreiländereck. Frankreich und Deutschland liegen unmittelbar vor den Toren der Stadt und verleihen Basel eine grenzüberschreitende Selbstverständlichkeit, die man im täglichen Leben ebenso spürt wie in der internationalen Ausrichtung der Region.

Und dennoch fühlt sich Basel nicht wie eine anonyme Metropole an.

Die Quartiere haben ihre eigene Identität. Vieles liegt nah beieinander. Innerhalb kurzer Zeit wechselt man zwischen Arbeit, Kultur, Gastronomie, Rhein und Zuhause.

Genau darin liegt auch die besondere Qualität dieses Stadthauses in Basel-Gellert / St. Alban.

Es bietet die Möglichkeit, die Stadt mit all ihren Vorzügen zu geniessen und sich danach in die Privatsphäre des eigenen Hauses und seiner grünen Umgebung zurückzuziehen.

Ein charaktervolles Stadthaus. Ein grüner Rückzugsort. Und Basel unmittelbar vor der Tür – eine Verbindung mit besonderer Lebensqualität.

Property Description English

A Townhouse That Unfolds Floor by Floor

This characterful townhouse in an attractive location in the popular Gellert district (St. Alban), Basel, combines prestigious architecture with generous proportions, high-quality materials and an exceptional living atmosphere.

Originally built in 1891 and comprehensively renovated in 2009, the property today presents a successful combination of classic townhouse character and contemporary living comfort. During the renovation, particular emphasis was placed on quality, carefully selected materials and preserving the individual character of the house.

Across several floors, a versatile living environment unfolds, offering spacious communal areas, private retreats and rooms that can flexibly adapt to different lifestyles and needs.

One of the property’s particular qualities lies in its carefully considered choice of materials. Special high-quality parquet flooring, stone floors and tiles** define the various rooms and give each level its own distinctive character. Warm wooden elements, bespoke joinery and light-coloured walls connect the different areas to create a harmonious overall impression.

For particularly pleasant thermal comfort, the property is equipped with wall heating systems whose operating principle is comparable to underfloor heating. Heat is distributed over large wall surfaces, creating a pleasant and even room temperature. At the same time, the clear architectural lines of the interiors remain largely free from visible conventional radiators.

Arriving

From the moment you arrive, this special townhouse reveals its pleasantly understated character. A landscaped front garden** accompanies the approach to the house, creating a natural and inviting transition from the established neighbourhood to the privacy of the home.

The lush planting frames the entrance area and gives it a charming, sheltered atmosphere.

A few steps lead to the entrance door.

The moment you enter, the perception changes: behind the classic exterior, a surprisingly generous living environment opens up. Warm wood tones, carefully selected flooring materials and individual architectural details define the first impression and already hint at how versatile the house becomes across its different levels.

From here, the real discovery begins – room by room and floor by floor.

The Main Living Level | The Heart of the Home

The entrance level forms the social heart of the property.

Kitchen, dining room and living room come together to create a generous living environment in which everyday life and special moments flow naturally into one another.

The kitchen presents itself as the lively centre of the home. Generous work surfaces and the long kitchen island create a place where cooking does not happen in the background but becomes part of life together. This is where the morning begins over coffee, where meals are prepared, conversations unfold and people cook together – a space designed for connection.

From the kitchen, the sequence of rooms continues into the dining room. Spacious and inviting, it provides the ideal setting for shared meals, long evenings with friends or a relaxed weekend breakfast.

Views towards the outdoors accompany the living experience and repeatedly bring the surrounding greenery into the interior.

The living room forms the atmospheric counterpart to the communicative kitchen and dining areas. Here, the mood becomes quieter and more intimate.

At its centre is the fireplace, giving the room a natural focal point and a special sense of warmth. A fire in the evening, a good book, conversations with friends or simply a quiet moment – this is a room made for settling in and feeling at home.

The interplay of special parquet flooring, stone flooring, bespoke built-in elements and warm materials emphasises the distinctive character of this living level.

The Next Level | Family, Work and Retreat

The characterful wooden staircase leads further upstairs.

With each floor, the atmosphere of the house changes. The open living environment gradually gives way to an increasingly private setting.

This level includes, among other spaces, a family room and a separate office area. The family room offers a variety of possibilities – as a private lounge, library, media room or additional living area.

The office provides a quiet place for focused work. Bespoke wooden built-ins and carefully executed details consistently continue the material and design language of the house.

The generous balcony extends this level outdoors and opens up views across the greenery at the rear of the property. A morning coffee, a quiet afternoon with a book or a glass of wine in the evening – this is a private outdoor space with exceptional quality of stay.

The bathroom on this level has also been deliberately conceived as part of the living environment. The freestanding bathtub**, light surfaces and natural daylight create a pleasant atmosphere for rest and relaxation.

The Attic Floor | A World of Its Own

Once again, the staircase leads upwards – and the architecture changes noticeably.

The attic floor has an unmistakable atmosphere.

Sloping ceilings meet warm wooden surfaces and expansive Japanese-inspired sliding elements. Individually crafted built-ins follow the geometry of the roof and make distinctive use of the available space.

This level contains two bedrooms as well as an additional office area. It is therefore ideally suited as a private sleeping and retreat area while simultaneously providing space for working, reading or creative pursuits.

The Japanese-inspired sliding elements allow for different spatial moods: open and generous or secluded and private.

An exceptional highlight is the high-quality Japanese O'Furo bath.

The special construction of this traditional Japanese bath is designed to retain the warm or hot water temperature for an extended period of time. This creates an intense and particularly relaxing bathing experience.

Set beneath the sloping roof and integrated into the understated material palette of the bathroom, it creates a private retreat with an almost meditative atmosphere. This area is complemented by a shower.

The O'Furo is therefore not merely a functional bathing feature, but one of the most exceptional design elements of the entire house.

The attic floor becomes a small living world of its own – intimate, individual and characterised by a special sense of tranquillity.

The Lower Level | Space for Individual Possibilities

The generosity of the house continues below the main living level.

An expansive area offers a wide range of possible uses – for example for family, guests, hobbies, fitness, work or personal projects.

It is precisely this flexibility that makes the property particularly appealing. The rooms can evolve with the different stages and requirements of their residents’ lives, offering far more than a rigidly predetermined use.

Generous built-in cupboards, storage and additional storage possibilities complement the available space.

A separate laundry room with washing machine, tumble dryer and utility sink keeps the practical functions of everyday life pleasantly separate from the representative living areas.

The Garden | The Green Side of City Living

Behind the townhouse, a surprisingly green world opens up, providing a wonderful counterpoint to urban Basel.

Mature trees and lush planting create different garden areas and continually changing perspectives. Sunny and shaded areas alternate, while sheltered places invite you to linger.

The private outdoor area is far more than simply an extension of the house. It creates an additional living space in the heart of the city – for quiet mornings, summer days with family and friends or simply a private moment surrounded by greenery.

Combined with the sought-after location in Basel-Gellert / St. Alban, this creates a rare combination of urban living, privacy, generosity and individuality.

Across all levels, the property reveals a residential concept that combines classic architecture, carefully selected materials and contemporary comfort.

A townhouse for people who are not simply looking for living space, but for a home with character, atmosphere and an unmistakable identity.

Location

Basel-Gellert / St. Alban | Urban Living Meets Quality of Life

The property is situated in an attractive location in the sought-after Gellert neighbourhood (St. Alban), Basel – within an established residential environment regarded as one of the city’s well-established and highly desirable places to live.

Gellert combines proximity to city life with the pleasant atmosphere of a mature residential neighbourhood. Characterful properties, green plots and an appealing residential fabric shape the surroundings and give this part of Basel its distinctive charm.

In this particular townhouse, that feeling continues impressively beyond the façade.

While the advantages of the city are always close at hand, the rear of the property opens onto a surprisingly green environment.

Here, there is no need to choose between the city and a private retreat.

You live in Basel – yet come home to tranquillity.

Basel | International in Outlook, Personal in Character

Basel offers a rare combination of international significance and exceptional quality of life.

As one of the world’s leading centres for life sciences, pharmaceuticals, research and innovation**, the city attracts people and companies from around the globe. At the same time, it has retained a sense of intimacy and accessibility that makes everyday life pleasantly manageable.

The Rhine runs through the city like a lifeline. Its riverbanks serve as promenades, meeting places and, during the warmer months, an integral part of the Basel lifestyle.

The historic Old Town, an internationally renowned museum landscape, theatres, world-class architecture and a diverse culinary and cultural scene give Basel a cultural richness that extends far beyond the city’s size.

Its unique location at the meeting point of three countries adds another dimension. France and Germany lie just beyond the city limits, giving Basel a natural cross-border character that is reflected both in everyday life and in the international outlook of the wider region.

And yet Basel never feels like an anonymous metropolis.

Its neighbourhoods have distinct identities. Everything is close at hand. Within a short space of time, one can move between work, culture, restaurants, the Rhine and home.

This is precisely what makes the location of this townhouse in Basel-Gellert / St. Alban so appealing.

It offers the opportunity to enjoy the city and everything it has to offer, before retreating to the privacy of one’s own home and its green surroundings.

A characterful townhouse. A private green retreat. And Basel right on your doorstep – a combination offering an exceptional quality of life.
