Quality architect-designed detached house in Rajamäki, Nurmijärvi

Department head’s home in Rajamäki, designed by architect Einari Teräsvirta

The Municipality of Nurmijärvi is selling, by public auction, a house with its plot in the village of Rajamäki. The property was originally built in 1957 as a department head’s home. The building is part of a row of three similar homes designed by architect Einari Teräsvirta in the mid-1950s for the former Oy Alkoholiliike Ab.

The property for sale, 543-1-26-7, is located close to the services in the centre of Rajamäki at Toivojentie 1, 05200 Rajamäki. The registered floor area of the building on the property is 232 m².

The property has previously been used as a daycare centre. For residential use, the buyer must apply for a building permit/change of use to a detached house. The change of use requires the necessary building drawings and energy report, as well as any structural changes.

The building is heated by district heating, distributed through a water-based radiator system. In addition, the building has a fireplace, which is currently out of use.

The attached floor plans are for the second building in the housing group and are therefore indicative only.

Town plan

The newly subdivided plot 543-1-26-7 is in an area for detached houses (AO) and forms plot 7 in block 1026 of the AO/s/pv plan area for Toivojentie, Rajamäki. The plot area is 1,475 m², and boundary points have been marked in the terrain with red-topped wooden posts. The property will be entered into the property information system shortly.

The property is sold as its own separate parcel in accordance with the zoning amendment 543 1-158 completed for the area. The building right of 230 k-m² has been fully used by the existing building, which is protected under the plan. Under the plan provisions, the architecturally, historically and environmentally valuable building may not be demolished, nor may it be repaired or altered in a way that reduces its value or destroys its architectural characteristics. More detailed restrictions on alterations can be found in the explanations of the plan markings.

The façade openings may not be altered and the building may not be extended outside the external envelope. Restorative alterations are possible.

When the building is renovated, the materials, detailing and colours of the façades and roof must be kept in their original form. Original building components, such as windows, must be preserved. Building components beyond repair may be replaced with new components made to the original design. A statement from the heritage authority must be requested for repair and alteration works.

An area for four single-storey residential detached houses has been planned between the property and Patruunantie. When planning new construction, a significant number of the pines growing in the area have been marked for retention. In accordance with the plan, the environment will be preserved and the tree stock must be managed continuously in a renewing manner so that its landscape value is maintained. The property is located in a groundwater area.

An easement right will be established for access to the property. Maintenance of the access route is the responsibility of the owner of Toivojentie 1 as the beneficiary of the right.
