A Swiss-inspired architectural treasure with a rich history. Welcome to 121 Grand Hill, a residence that blends artistry, vision, and craftsmanship into a truly one-of-a-kind home with 3 bedrooms and 3 baths. Designed by Gian Martin Bassin and inspired by the organic architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright, this Swiss-style property was hand-built between 1961 and 1964 by the Bassin family—Peter, Gian Martin, and Maggie. Aside from the plumbing, electrical, and concrete work, every element of this home was carefully constructed by their hands, creating a legacy of skill and dedication that lives on in every detail. From its distinctive design to its thoughtful use of natural materials, the home embodies harmony with its surroundings. Its Swiss influence is evident in the craftsmanship, character, and timeless appeal that set it apart from conventional builds. Nestled in one of Kitchener’s most desirable neighborhoods, 121 Grand Hill is part of a vibrant community association that fosters connection and pride of place. Residents enjoy tree-lined streets, nearby schools, parks, use of the private swimming Lake/pond, walking trails, tennis courts and a family-friendly atmosphere. The location also offers exceptional convenience with quick access to major highways, making commuting and city amenities easily within reach. Many features of this home are still original and waiting for the next chapter of ownership to take it to a new level. Owning 121 Grand Hill is not just purchasing a home—it is the opportunity to be part of a story, a community, and a piece of architectural history. (id:41954)
