Description
Property Description: This town villa, built around 1914, is located directly on the Traun River in the heart of Bad Ischl and still exudes the unmistakable charm of the imperial era. As is well known, when it comes to real estate, three things matter: location, location, location – and a better location than this listed building is hard to find in Bad Ischl. The well-maintained, partially modernized villa offers approximately 295 m² of living space on three levels plus an attic and impresses with its classic architecture and versatile usage possibilities. Three entrances allow for use as a spacious family home or multi-generational residence, as well as a combination of living and working spaces. In addition to utility and storage rooms, the ground floor includes a self-contained apartment, ideal as an office, guest suite, or staff quarters.

The historic staircase, featuring hand-polished terrazzo flooring and original banisters, leads to the first floor (OG1) with three bedrooms, a bathroom, a separate WC, a kitchen with a bay window (dining room), and a living room of approximately 28 m² with a Sommerhuber tiled stove. The west-facing terrace (approx. 27 m²) invites relaxation, complemented by an east-facing balcony (approx. 7 m²) for enjoying the morning sun. The second floor (OG2) largely mirrors the layout of the floor below – with a kitchen, bay window, study, bathroom and WC, and two balconies facing east and west.

Location description: Why did Emperor Franz prefer to spend his most cherished weeks of the year in Bad Ischl? Perhaps because of the walks along the Esplanade and in the Kaiserpark, or the joie de vivre that this town still exudes today. Bad Ischl – once the imperial summer residence of Emperor Franz Joseph and Empress Elisabeth (Sisi), today a significant spa town and European Capital of Culture 2024 – combines history, culture, and quality of life like almost no other place. And while the Emperor was only permitted to spend the summer months here, you have the opportunity to enjoy this place year-round.
