Old Town Maisonette Penthouse | Private Roof

Experience the very best of Zurich in this brand-new Old Town apartment, just one minute from the lake. Set within a rare green oasis in the historic centre, it offers exceptional peace and quiet in the heart of the city. Enjoy your own private rooftop terrace overlooking charming rooftops, along with the rare convenience of a private parking spot. A perfect blend of exclusivity, nature, and a prime location.

The Space
Welcome to your private retreat in the heart of Zurich’s historic Old Town. This brand-new maisonette penthouse is located in one of the city center’s rare green pockets—a peaceful oasis surrounded by trees and historic buildings, yet just a one-minute walk from Lake Zurich. Restaurants, cafés, bars, gyms, boutiques, and Zurich’s most beautiful landmarks are all just around the corner. Despite this exceptional central location, the apartment is wonderfully quiet, offering a rare sense of calm in the middle of the city. A private parking space in a nearby garage—just a two-minute walk from the apartment—is also included and does not require a reservation.

The lift takes you directly into the apartment, creating an exclusive and comfortable arrival experience. The apartment spans two floors, connected by an internal staircase, and the lift also provides access between the levels.

As you step out of the lift on the lower floor, you enter the welcoming entryway. To the right, you’ll find a full bathroom with a bathtub, including a shower, sink, and toilet. From the entry hall, the next door leads to the spacious master bedroom. This beautiful room features a luxurious king-size box-spring bed, a comfortable sofa bed that can be set up upon request as an additional double bed with a premium memory foam topper, a cosy reading nook, and a large 55-inch smart TV. Large windows fill the room with natural light and open onto a charming small balcony where you can enjoy a morning coffee, a glass of wine in the evening, or simply relax with a book. The master bedroom also has an elegant en suite bathroom with a walk-in rain shower, sink, and toilet.

Directly opposite the master bedroom is the second bedroom, which also features a very comfortable king-size bed with a high-quality mattress and memory foam topper. This room includes a walk-in closet with plenty of storage space and a small sofa that can be converted into an additional sleeping area if needed. Thanks to the apartment’s excellent orientation and its large windows, the entire space is wonderfully bright and filled with natural light. At the same time, blackout curtains allow you to completely darken the rooms for a restful night’s sleep.

Upstairs, you’ll find the main living area—a spacious open space that combines the living room, dining area, and kitchen into one harmonious environment. Warm colours, beautiful natural light, and elegant design create a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. The living area offers comfortable sofas with plenty of seating, an additional sofa bed that can be set up upon request, and a large 75-inch smart TV.

The spacious dining table seats up to eight guests and is perfect for shared meals or relaxed evenings together. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you might need, including high-quality appliances, an oven, a hob, a refrigerator with freezer, a microwave, a dishwasher, a SMEG toaster and kettle, a soft drink maker, cookware, pots, pans, kitchen utensils, and plenty of storage space. Whether you’re preparing a simple breakfast or a full dinner, the kitchen has everything you need for a comfortable stay. This floor also features an additional guest bathroom with a sink and a convenient storage room.

From the living area, you can go up one more level to reach the private rooftop terrace, which is truly the highlight of the apartment. The large terrace offers ample lounge seating, a dining table, sun loungers, a hanging chair, and a large three-meter sun umbrella. From here, you can enjoy beautiful views over the rooftops of Old Town and, depending on the season and the surrounding trees, even glimpses of the famous Grossmünster church. It is the perfect place to relax, dine outdoors, read a book, or simply enjoy the peaceful atmosphere above the city.

This exceptional apartment combines a rare and privileged location, generous space, modern comfort, a private rooftop terrace, and the convenience of included private parking nearby. With the lake just one minute away and the best of the city right at your doorstep—all while enjoying a calm and green environment—it offers the perfect setting for experiencing Zurich in comfort, style, and tranquility.

Area
The apartment is located in one of the most beautiful and unique parts of Zurich’s historic Old Town—a rare green and peaceful enclave in the city centre. Surrounded by charming historic buildings and tree-lined streets, this area feels like a quiet oasis while still being right in the heart of everything.

Just a minute away, you’ll reach Lake Zurich, where you can enjoy beautiful walks along the promenade, swim during the summer months, or simply relax by the water. The famous Grossmünster church, picturesque Old Town streets, and many of Zurich’s most iconic sights are all within easy walking distance.

The area offers an exceptional selection of restaurants, cafés, bars, bakeries, and boutiques, many of them just around the corner. You’ll also find gyms, supermarkets, and everyday conveniences nearby, making the location both charming and very practical.

Despite being in the heart of the city, the street itself remains remarkably quiet and green, creating a rare combination of nature, tranquility, and vibrant city life. It is truly one of the most desirable locations to experience Zurich.

Guest access
The entire penthouse is exclusively available to you, ensuring complete privacy during your stay. You will have full access to all rooms, including the spacious living area, fully equipped kitchen, luxurious bedrooms, and two modern bathrooms. Step out onto your private rooftop terrace and enjoy the ultimate luxury and comfort all to yourself.

Liked: Location
The home was spotless and very nicely appointed. Our host was extremely helpful and very responsible since to messages. The check in and check out process was seamless and all of the instructions were easy to understand. The Roofrop Maisonette was the perfect place for our family to stay and enjoy all that Switzerland and Zurich have to offer. 5 min walk to a train station, shopping, dining, and old town. Very close to the Opera House, plaza, and beautiful parks . This was easily the best VRBO experience we have ever had.
