00:00 In the second most populated metropolis in Switzerland, this chalet-style house dating
00:05 to the early 1900s offers a quiet refuge from the commotion of city life.
00:10 Within the Kölsch residential neighborhood on the outskirts of Geneva, the nearly 2.5-acre
00:15 forested property is located just five minutes from the city center.
00:20 This 1910 chalet was built in the traditional style by the Springfair company for the original
00:26 owner who was inspired by the Swiss National Exhibitions.
00:30 The historical section of the house, kitchen ceiling beams, and staircase are preserved,
00:35 while everything else is renovated and new.
00:38 The four levels contain more than 7,500 square feet of living space.
00:42 At the heart of the home is a great room with a fireplace, walls of windows take in views
00:47 of Mont Saleu.
00:48 The stainless steel kitchen, equipped with high-end Rorg appliances, has a long center
00:53 island.
00:55 Upstairs are two bedrooms each with private bathrooms and the primary suite, which features
00:59 two walk-in closets and access to a private terrace.
01:03 There's an additional bedroom and bathroom on the top floor, as well as a balcony.
01:08 The property is listed at 16.5 million Swiss francs, or 18.5 million dollars.
01:15 The Swiss market, however, is protected, and only a Swiss citizen or permanent resident
01:20 may purchase this property as their primary residence.
