House for sale 6+1 • 394 m² without real estateHagen Hagen Nordrhein-Westfalen 58089

The book printing and cardboard factory Bald & Krüger was built in 1892 and has a vibrant history. During World War II, parts of the building were damaged, and in 1956 the structure was reinforced, with the top floor ceiling receiving a new roof finish and the reduced volume being put back into use.

In the following years, factory operations were restricted due to emission regulations and eventually ceased.

Remarkable is the versatile spatial program. In addition to the large, spectacular hall, there are enclosed rooms for various functions such as children’s areas, sleeping quarters, office, home office, guest rooms, utility spaces, etc., comparable to a classic single-family house. You are not forced to combine all functions into one room.

Thus, the airy hall character can be maintained and highlighted through uncluttered furnishing.

It also offers the possibility for combined residential and work use or purely office use, if, for example, 10 car parking spaces are not required.

The property is located in central Hagen within the rings between Bergstraße and Bergischer Ring. It is an urban combination of a rear courtyard location and block-edge development with a preceding green area and generous distance from neighboring buildings. Thus, even with a low winter sun, the southwest façade is very well illuminated.

Urban infrastructure such as educational and cultural institutions, kindergartens, administrative and supply facilities are right at your doorstep.

The house is accessed via an entrance drive, at the upper end of which lies the entirely fenced property. The electric sliding gate with remote control and the separate door (electric opener) regulate access and ensure privacy. Visitors use the new video intercom system.

Through the covered forecourt with several parking spaces, you enter the two-story house section. A staircase leads to the upper floor, which has three rooms and a daylight-lit bathroom with a shower – however, this is not an independent in-law apartment, but rather a residential area accessed via two staircases.

Here, CAT7 data cabling and electrical installations for workstations or private PCs have been installed. Coax (satellite TV) and the building’s fiber-optic connection are also present.

On the entrance level on the ground floor, there are two additional rooms, a daylight bathtub bathroom, a guest WC, as well as the heating boiler and building connections. Hot water is centrally generated using a combi-boiler and water storage tank.

A wide staircase leads to the expansive former factory workshop with large windows facing southwest. The 20 kW fireplace stove is water-carrying, meaning that water heated in the combustion chamber enters the heating circuit, reducing gas consumption or even completely replacing gas.

In this 104 m² living area (dimensions L×W×H = 6×18×3.30 m) lies the open kitchen. The term “LOFT” is more than appropriate here. The 2.25 m high by 1.80 m wide windows are equipped with electric aluminum roller shutters and interior blinds, while the 70 cm thick brick masonry provides summer heat protection on the outside and a cozy, castle-like factory character on the inside. Data cabling and coax (satellite TV) are present here as well.

Connected to the living area are two unheated, highly usable rooms – a tiled utility room with a sink and hot water boiler, a washing machine and dryer area with a floor drain, and a large hobby workshop/storage room with garden access.

The garden is reached through a naturally lit loggia with a vibrant, translucent “plant ceiling”, a hybrid of indoor and outdoor. In the garden, there are fruit trees (apple, plum, cherry), evergreen bamboo, life trees/cypresses, and a large birch. A personal compost system replaces the city’s non-existent green waste bin. With four 300-liter rainwater barrels, the garden – especially the bamboo – can be supplied for 6–8 weeks without tap water.

A water-permeable sunshade protects the lawn during extreme heat.

Three additional factory rooms, retaining their charming original state with open, exposed beam ceilings, offer 80 m² of space for bicycles, fitness, a workshop, garden tools, table tennis, old furniture, archive, studio, or similar uses – essentially serving as cellar substitute rooms, just without stairs.

The 500 m² roof area, almost free of shading, offers great potential for economical photovoltaic utilization.

Furthermore, the development plan allows for significant additional densification in both area and height.
