Built around 1460 and carefully renovated over the centuries, this iconic building in the medieval town of Gruyères combines historic charm, modern comfort, and versatile potential. Nestled in the heart of one of Switzerland's most renowned villages, it captivates with its authenticity, generous volumes, and unique features.
Offering approximately 200 m² of living space spread over five levels, as well as a plot of 377 m², the property comprises a large commercial space on the ground floor, an elegant 5.5-room duplex apartment with remarkable historical features, and an independent studio occupying the top floor.
An exceptional building with multiple facets:
The ground floor houses a commercial space of over 140 m², ideal for a professional activity, a gallery, or even a catering space. There is also an office and a separate toilet, allowing for a combination of working comfort and functionality.
The basement includes several technical and storage rooms: a cellar, a storage room, a boiler room equipped with an oil boiler (1999) and two 2000 liter tanks, as well as direct access to the terrace.
The first floor houses the main apartment, whose spaciousness and period details are immediately captivating. The entrance hall leads to a fitted kitchen with a dining area, extended by a cozy living room with a ventilated fireplace. An office and a guest toilet complete this level.
On the second floor, the apartment features two beautiful bedrooms, one of which features an authentic fresco dating from the Middle Ages, a true testament to the residence's rich past. There is also a third bedroom/dressing room and a bathroom equipped with a whirlpool bath, shower, sink, and toilet.
The top floor consists of a separate studio of approximately 70 m², accessible via a private entrance. This space includes a large, modular living room, a bathroom with a shower and toilet, and a mezzanine that can be converted into an office area or storage space.
Appreciable external and technical assets:
The house benefits from a pleasant west-facing terrace, ideal for enjoying the sunsets and admiring the panoramic view of Gruyère and its bucolic landscapes.
On the technical side, the property has a gas supply, fiber optics and a water softener.

The commercial premises, for their part, benefited from a complete renovation in 2021.
