»Domaine Cavalier«
8044 Zürich/ZH (CH)
The magic of the Zurichberg
On the sunny slope of the Zurichberg, you can live away from the hustle and bustle of the valley and enjoy the spectacular view across the lake to the Alps. Meadows and forests as well as the famous Dolder Grand are just a few steps away. At the same time, you can quickly immerse yourself in city life at any time.
Here, in the elegant District 7, a magnificent villa from the 1920s - »Domaine Cavalier«- stands in a park-like garden. Despite the privileged surroundings, the property is only a stone's throw away from the shopping facilities on Toblerplatz.
The director of a textile machine factory had the villa built in 1926 in the neo-baroque style. The »Domaine Cavalier« has a striking mansard hipped roof, a neat, well-proportioned façade and a projecting base with various outdoor terraces. Despite all the decoration, the relatively functional architecture also reveals the influence of Bauhaus modernism. An approved refurbishment plan is already in place, meaning that it will be possible to move into a lavishly and sensitively renovated residence within a year.
