Steeped in history, this building in Gals was originally built in 1823 on the banks of the River Thielle as a tax office, hence the name it still bears today - "Zollhus". Now used for residential purposes, it was carefully renovated by its owners between 2012 and 2013. The owners took great care to preserve the character and soul of the house throughout the renovation. As a result, the property benefits from an undeniable homogeneity and cachet. In short, this is a house where you feel at home!
The house has 3 levels, generous floor areas and high ceilings. The layout of the rooms has been designed to maximize natural light.
Access to the house is via a solid wood door set in a Hauterive stone doorframe. A true entrance hall leads through a central corridor to a large living room with access to the south-facing garden, as well as to the kitchen opening onto a spacious dining room. An office and guest toilet complete the first floor.
The sleeping quarters are located on the second floor and include a 36 m² master suite with dressing room and shower room, as well as three other bedrooms and two shower rooms.
The attic space has been completely opened up and converted into a creative space. Future buyers will be able to exploit these spaces according to their needs and projects.
A vaulted cellar extends over part of the basement. A distinction is made between the living space and the annex to the north, which houses the technical areas (boiler/laundry room) and a double garage with automatic doors.
The exteriors have been carefully landscaped to offer space and privacy. Relax on the 60 m² terrace, while children enjoy the green spaces (~1'000 m²).
The property is located on the edge of an agricultural zone and enjoys unobstructed views of the north and west flanks. The tranquility of the area and its surroundings should not detract from its proximity to the canton and city of Neuchâtel. In addition to the tax advantages, the opportunity for children to attend school in German is a definite advantage offered by the commune of Gals.
