House for sale, Via alla Chiesa 13 (Quinto, Switzerland)

Casa Prada is a single-family house designed by the Ticino architect Pietro Boschetti, a leading figure in architecture in Ticino and author of works published and studied at an academic level.
Located in the heart of the centre of Ambrì, just a few minutes from the new Gottardo Arena – home of HC Ambrì-Piotta – it is a rare example of contemporary architecture capable of dialoguing with the traditional rural fabric.

Inserted in a compact set of rural buildings with similar volumes and gabled roofs, Casa Prada (1984) replaces the ruins of a pre-existing farmhouse and reinterprets the relationship between old and new with a modern language. The building is spread over three floors above ground, with exposed BKS brick walls – used both inside and outside – which recall the color and materiality of the historic facades of the nucleus, while the structure and wood finishes (slabs, ceilings, windows) complete an essential and coherent whole.

On the ground floor, the entrance with atrium acts as an "energy buffer" between the outside and the inside and leads to the upper floors. The first floor is dedicated to the sleeping area, while on the top level a large living room with dining area and kitchen is organized to take advantage of the last ray of sunshine, offering a generous and bright space. The house has 5 rooms, two bathrooms, approx. 220 m² gross living area and a SIA volume of 650 m³ on a compact bottom of approx. 94 m² (part. 611, Municipality of Quinto, EGRID CH528421020711).

Casa Prada is currently used as a secondary residence, with no restrictions on use, and is a furnished proposal, an ideal solution for those looking for a ready-to-use home. The microlocation is slightly above average: the house is located a few steps from the public transport stop and the main services, in a cozy and authentic nucleus.

In addition to hockey and the sports offer of the valley, the property benefits from the proximity to the Piora region – reachable by the Ritom funicular – renowned for its hiking routes and numerous alpine lakes, as well as to Val Bedretto and the Airolo-Pesciüm ski resort, a natural gateway to Valais. It is an ideal setting for nature and sports lovers: alpine skiing, ski mountaineering and skin tours in winter, hiking and mountain biking in the summer. Airolo-Pesciüm is also considered a resort with ski pass prices tending to be lower than the Swiss average, which increases the attractiveness for families and budget-conscious sportsmen.
