Flat for sale 3+1 • 66 m² without real estateMarienburger Str. 11, , North Rhine-Westphalia

This high-quality, completely refurbished apartment is located on the 3rd upper floor of a well-maintained multi-family house with only six units. Particularly attractive: two of the apartments in the building are for sale, offering interesting opportunities for both owner-occupiers and investors.

From the moment you enter the apartment, the well-thought-out layout becomes evident. Via the stairwell, you reach a compact entrance area with a hallway, a place for coats, and a separate storage room.

The walls in the hallway are stylishly curved (note: the angular depiction in the visual is outdated). In the bathroom, an additional sliding door allows simultaneous access between the bedroom and the shower room. The circulation areas have been purposefully kept efficient so that the living spaces benefit from a noticeable gain in usable area.

Immediately following are two bedrooms arranged side by side; their large dormers allow pleasant illumination and, despite the sloping ceilings, create a very good sense of space. The sloping ceilings are ideal for custom-built wardrobes, thereby making excellent use of the available space.

Next comes a spacious, modern bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, high-quality new tiling, and completely renewed technical equipment. As part of the refurbishment, all piping and sanitary installations were comprehensively replaced—not only in the bathroom but throughout the entire apartment.

The heart of the apartment is the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area, which impresses in particular with its spaciousness and thoughtful design. Continuous glazing ensures plenty of natural light and opens up a wide view of the surrounding area stretching toward Cologne. The open kitchen integrates harmoniously into the overall layout; additionally, the window area offers potential for an attractive integrated bench seating solution.

The apartment was essentially rebuilt in key areas as part of a comprehensive refurbishment. This included, among other things, the complete removal and reinstallation of the screed and insulation, new interior insulation with Multipor, new windows with triple glazing and shutters, new flooring, new partition walls, structural optimizations with new beams to create more generous room dimensions, a completely renewed electrical system, new conduits and connections for the kitchen and bathroom, new sanitary installations, a new underfloor heating system, new tiles, and extensive plastering and painting work.

Overall, the result is an apartment that combines the charm of an attic space with the comfort and technical quality of an almost brand-new interior finish.

Note: Due to the additional insulation and triple glazing, the apartment is slightly smaller than shown in the plans; consequently, the energy consumption is expected to drop to Class D!

The apartment is situated in Bergisch Gladbach-Hand, a sought-after and established residential area in the western part of the city. Hand borders directly on the districts of Paffrath and Gronau and, to the south, directly on Cologne-Dellbrück; at the same time, Bergisch Gladbach as a whole lies right on the border with Cologne. This location offers a combination of a quiet, predominantly residential environment with quick access to a major metropolis, making it particularly attractive for those who want to live close to nature yet remain well connected to urban life.

In particular, its proximity to Cologne-Dellbrück adds special appeal: you benefit from being close to one of Cologne’s popular districts—and thus from a more urban environment—without having to forgo the relaxed residential quality of the Bergisches. Dellbrück directly adjoins Bergisch Gladbach to the east, further emphasizing the close spatial connection.

Hand and its surroundings also offer high recreational and leisure value. Bergisch Gladbach markets itself as part of the Bergisches Hiking Land, with numerous hiking opportunities and themed trails. In addition, there are nature-friendly areas and wooded landscapes in the vicinity, such as the Diepeschrath Forest area and the forested landscapes east of Dellbrück, making the location ideal for walks, jogging, or outings into nature right on your doorstep.

In everyday life, the immediate area impresses as well. The neighborhoods of Hand and Paffrath benefit from a long-established social infrastructure with daycare centers, primary schools, and local shops. The city of Bergisch Gladbach even has its own kindergarten and after-school care facilities specifically for the Hand district; additional services are also available in nearby Paffrath.

For leisure and recreation, facilities such as the Kombibad Paffrath and the well-known Mediterana in Bergisch Gladbach further enhance the local profile. Both of these facilities are exemplary of the high residential and recreational value of the area.

Public transport connections are also well established: in the current bus network of the Rheinisch-Bergischer Kreis, Marienburger Straße is designated as a stop on the lines.

All in all, the location offers an especially attractive combination of quiet living, a well-established neighborhood, excellent everyday infrastructure, nature-oriented leisure opportunities, and rapid access to Cologne.

Optional: Thoughtfully and budget-friendly furnished by the architect/project manager, including a fitted kitchen, lighting, and built-in furniture.

Note: Due to the additional insulation and triple glazing, the apartment is slightly smaller than indicated in the plans; accordingly, the energy consumption is expected to drop to Class D!
