This richly detailed Swiss chalet style villa is now surrounded by a spacious garden in a neighborhood with mainly large detached houses. It was originally built as a farmhouse on a small farm outside town towards the end of the 19th century. The property remained a working farm with several other buildings until the 1950s. The last of the other farm buildings was demolished around 1990.
