A rare collector’s item with history and character in Basel’s Bruderholz

There are houses that you visit. And there are houses that you experience.

This extraordinary single-family home is much more than just a property – it is a piece of Basel’s cultural history. As the former residence of the internationally renowned Basel graphic artist Herbert Leupin (1916-1999), this property uniquely combines architecture, art, and living culture.

Even today, numerous original reliefs and artworks by the artist bear witness to his creative touch and give the house a unique identity. Each floor tells its own story and creates an atmosphere that combines authenticity, inspiration, and timeless elegance.

The residential building, originally built in 1946, was extended and completely renovated in 2018 with exceptional sensitivity. The original character was deliberately preserved and complemented with high-quality architecture and modern living comfort. The result is a harmonious blend of tradition and modernity – stylish, high-quality and full of personality.

Generous living spaces, exposed wooden structures, carefully selected materials, and lovingly preserved details give the entire house a warm and inviting atmosphere. With approximately 226 m² of living space, spread over 7.5 rooms, the property offers versatile usage options for families, art enthusiasts, or those seeking something special.

The lovingly designed garden forms a protected oasis of tranquility with a high degree of privacy and harmoniously complements the overall picture of this exceptional property. Here, a living experience is created that is rarely found in this form.

Herbert Leupin’s artist house is not a home for everyone. It is for people who appreciate the value of real architecture, lived history, and cultural identity. A rare opportunity to acquire a unique home with soul.
