House for sale 7+1 • 170 m² without real estateHamburg Wellingsbüttel Hamburg 22391

The offered building is located on a large plot of land. The property’s street frontage is approximately 17 meters long. The plot is fully developed; a fiber optic connection (according to Telekom, 1,000/200 Mbit/s down/up will be possible during the summer of 2024) has already been installed on the street side. With a plot depth of roughly 73 meters, there are numerous possibilities for all kinds of garden use.

The property is developed with a gable-front red brick detached house from 1938, built to a high standard. The building has been continuously maintained without compromising its original character through thoughtless adaptations to contemporary tastes.

The house offers about 170 square meters of living space and approximately 125 square meters of usable space, and impresses with a very generous room layout and high-quality details: special clinker bricks, fine carpentry work, elaborate stained glass windows, floor coverings of Solnhofen slabs in the entrance area and parquet flooring in the living room, wooden floorboards on the upper level, “Hamburg” skirting boards, etc. The ground floor provides direct access to the terrace and garden from both the living room and the kitchen; the upper floor has hardly any roof slopes that affect usable space and features a large balcony; in the attic there is another room and possibly extensive potential for further development. In addition, the house has a well-lit full basement with direct access to the garden. The construction quality is consistently high throughout. The upper level and the attic room have been retrofitted with glass wool insulation against the roof/attic. The windows are predominantly PVC with double glazing from 1979/1985; in the rear section of the building, electric shutters are installed.

According to the energy consumption certificate, the building is rated “E”, which underscores its good structural condition.

The plot is currently landscaped in a low-maintenance style (predominantly green areas). The front part of the property is completely free of trees, which is advantageous for any potential structural changes. In the rear area, adjacent to the building, there is a large lawn followed by a more open area with trees and bushes and plenty of space for leisure activities.

Due to the very generous plot size, for example, the creation of a swimming pond would be possible. If desired, extensive plantings of fruit and vegetables or ornamental plants can be implemented. On the property there is a small garage (built in 1965, with external dimensions of 5 m by 3 m) connected with a similar garage on the neighboring plot. The garage is only suitable for smaller cars but is excellent for ground-level storage of garden furniture and equipment, bicycles, etc. The long driveway offers further parking opportunities for cars. In the neighborhood, carports have been erected in the front garden.

The property is subject to the Wellingsbüttel 16 development plan, zoning “WR o 2 Wo (B)”: purely residential area, open building plan, 2 residential units allowed, only single-family houses permitted, with a maximum plot area of up to 250 square meters possible. The plot, like larger areas of Wellingsbüttel, is designated as an urban conservation area. According to the seller, this particularly refers to the building’s impact on the street when considering any potential conversion or extension.

Wellingsbüttel is located in the northeast of Hamburg and is one of the most sought-after residential districts of the city. It is characterized primarily by upscale detached houses on large plots with tree-lined streets. Wellingsbüttel lies along the Alsterlauf; with the Alstertal in the north and the Ohlsdorf park cemetery in the south, it is framed by expansive green areas.

In the heart of Wellingsbüttel there is a complete range of local amenities: a REWE supermarket, a weekly market (Tuesdays and Fridays), bakeries, restaurants, a pharmacy, doctors, a bank branch, and more. An extensive and high-quality shopping experience, along with a multitude of doctors, services, fitness studios, and various dining options, is available at the nearby Alstertal shopping center (about 5 minutes by car or 1 stop by S-Bahn). A versatile cultural program is offered in the gatehouse by the Alster of the former Wellingsbüttel estate.

From the Wellingsbüttel S-Bahn station, which can be reached on foot in about 10 minutes from the property, there are excellent transport connections via line S1: without a transfer, Hamburg Central Station can be reached in about 25 minutes and Jungfernstieg in just under 30 minutes. The S1 line runs at 10-minute intervals from early morning until late at night; from Friday to Sunday, service is continuous even during the night. Additionally, bus lines connect Wellingsbüttel with various other districts, and the popular mobility service Moia (ride pooling with electric minivans) is also available here. By car, the city center can be reached via Wellingsbüttler Weg or Bramfelder Chaussee in about 30 minutes. The highways A7 and A1 are also easily accessible. The Baltic Sea, with its opportunities for bathing and water sports, is nearby: for example, the travel time to Travemünde is about 1 hour by car.

Fuhlsbüttel Airport is reachable by S-Bahn in only 3–4 stops (without changing platforms) in about 15 minutes, or equivalently by car. Due to Wellingsbüttel’s location between the projected extensions of the runways, the nearby airport does not cause any flight noise disturbance.

A multitude of highly sought-after schools are located in Wellingsbüttel and the surrounding districts.

In the vicinity there are also various leisure activities available—for example, the Treudelberg Golf Club, TSC Wellingsbüttel, UHC Hummelsbüttel, the Oberalster Watersports Club, several equestrian facilities on the outskirts of Hamburg, as well as sailing and rowing opportunities on the Outer Alster.

The property offered for sale is located in a quiet yet “close to everything” setting in a 30 km/h zone in Wellingsbüttel. The local architecture is characterized by a high number of individual, architect-designed red brick villas from the original development in the late 1930s.

The location of the property is exceptionally family-friendly:

A nearby primary school can be reached without having to cross any busy streets. There is also a kindergarten run by a church in the area. Furthermore, the well-known Tennis and Hockey Club Klipper is just a few minutes’ walk away.

Tour:

Entering through the elaborately designed front door, you arrive in the vestibule. The adjacent spacious hallway (13 sqm) is paved with Solnhofen slabs. With leaded windows featuring stained glass inserts, the area is well-lit while maintaining privacy. In this space, you will also find the cloakroom and the guest WC.

The exceptionally spacious living room (a total of 51 sqm) is entirely laid with herringbone oak parquet flooring. The front section (19 sqm), facing the street, can be separated from the rear living area by recessed sliding doors, offering the possibility of using the space (perhaps temporarily) as a home office or a TV room.

The main section of the living room (32 sqm) provides ample space. With a ceiling height of about 2.8 meters, the room feels extremely spacious. From the fully glazed bay window, you have an excellent view of the garden and direct access to the adjacent terrace.

The adjacent large kitchen (12 sqm) also has direct access to the terrace; in addition, it includes a pantry and a storage room of 0.5 sqm each.

The terrace (11 sqm, with potential for extension) forms the transition to the garden, is directly accessible from the kitchen and living room, is sheltered by the bay window and a glass block wall, and can be protected by an awning from excessive sunlight if needed.

On the upper floor, you will find a hallway, four well-proportioned rooms that are practically free from any use-limiting roof slopes, access to the attic via a fixed staircase, and a shower room. Two of the rooms, each just over 10 sqm, are ideally suited as children’s rooms, for instance. Another room is somewhat smaller at nearly 8 sqm. The largest room, at nearly 19 sqm plus a 2 sqm storage room, has been used as the master bedroom and offers direct access to the balcony (11 sqm) with a wonderful view of the garden. The shower room was renovated in 1993, and installing a bathtub is possible.

The attic, accessible by a fixed internal staircase, offers an additional room of approximately 9 sqm, which could serve as a guest room. In addition, about 29 sqm of attic space is available for use as storage or as further development potential.

The basement can be accessed via the vestibule using the internal basement staircase or from the garden using the external basement stairs. There are extensive dry basement areas available (approximately 20 + 19 + 13 + 10 + 5 + 4 sqm, plus 12 sqm of oil storage) for various uses. It would be conceivable to install an additional full bathroom or a sauna. Notably, the basement benefits from relatively good natural light through windows (as opposed to light wells) since the basement projects about 1 meter above ground, and the room height is around 2 meters.

Within the basement, the oil heating system is installed: a low-temperature boiler (Rapido F100/3 NTT with 24 kW, built in 1992), a fan burner (Giersch R1-V, built in 2005, with a performance range of 1–4.5 kg/h), and a welded steel basement tank of 7,000 liters (built in 1971). The long-term average annual consumption for space heating is demonstrably around 2,600 liters of heating oil, offering the possibility to purchase and store nearly 3 years’ worth of oil at favorable prices.

There is no obligation to replace the heating system under current regulations. Thanks to the building’s good insulation and the generously sized radiator areas, the buyer has all options available to switch to another energy source, whether now or later: both the installation of an air or geothermal heat pump is possible, as is a wood pellet heating system (considering the pellet storage possibilities in the area of the current oil tank). Additionally, it is currently possible to install a gas heating system using natural gas with a sufficient proportion of biogas.

The sale is private, and no brokerage fee is applicable.

Inquiries from brokers are not desired.

The property can be handed over on short notice. All incidental purchase costs (notary, land registry, property transfer tax) are to be borne by the buyer.
