Townhouse – Joie de Vivre

Short description

Tucked away in a wonderfully peaceful setting in the heart of Salzburg, this distinguished historic townhouse is a rare find. Once home to the celebrated Salzburg Festival conductor Karl Böhm, the property captivates with its expansive interiors, timeless character, and a beautifully secluded garden complete with an enchanting vine-covered pergola – a true oasis in the city.

Despite its tranquil atmosphere, the location is exceptionally central, just steps from the Volksgarten and moments from the Salzach riverside, offering swift access to the Old Town, whether by bicycle or on foot. The surrounding neighbourhood features a wide range of amenities, including shops, schools, and childcare – making it perfectly suited to families.

First recorded around 1880, the townhouse has been thoughtfully extended over time, most recently with a converted attic. The central entrance in the original wing opens onto the heart of the home – a refined sitting room with herringbone parquet flooring and a traditional tiled stove. French doors lead directly into the enchanting garden. The dining room is adjoined by a charming country-style kitchen with its own external entrance. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms complete this level. Upstairs, three generously proportioned rooms offer delightful views over the garden and the grand villas of the surrounding area. This floor also includes a bathroom and could easily be transformed into a separate living unit. A further highlight is the 3-room apartment in the annex, boasting airy 3-metre ceilings. It includes a comfortable living/dining area with a fitted kitchen, and two bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom. HWB 119
