House for sale • 496 m² without real estate, North Rhine-Westphalia

Below is the English translation of the text:

In the sought-after residential area of Refrath, this exceptional, modern, energy-efficient multi-family house is presented as a high-quality and exceedingly rare opportunity on the market. Originally built in 1964 as a three-family house, the property was further developed into a modern, unified complex through an extensive new construction as well as a comprehensive refurbishment and modernization.

Today the building comprises a total of six approved residential units, whereby at present two barrier-free units on the ground floor (each approximately 50 m²) have been combined and are used as one spacious apartment. A physical separation into two independent barrier-free units is possible at any time with minimal effort.

The majority of the property is located in the new extension built in 2014, to which the penthouse apartment extends as a complete new construction over the entire building. The remaining existing areas were comprehensively modernized during the expansion (including upgrades to plumbing, electrical systems, water, sewage, and interior finishes), so that the property overall is presented in a very well-maintained and contemporary condition without the typical backlog of renovations.

The layout and the combination of high-quality existing and new construction spaces allow for both a classic investment property and flexible owner-occupation concepts. As a multi-generational house, the property especially benefits from the barrier-free units on the ground floor, providing ideal conditions.

The courtyard, enclosed by exterior walls, offers secure parking for several high-end vehicles with its numerous parking spaces.

The upscale district of Refrath, the gateway to the Bergisches Land, has now become the most desirable part of Bergisch Gladbach and is counted among the dynamically growing and increasingly popular residential areas in the immediate vicinity of Cologne. Its location combines two decisive factors: proximity to the metropolis and at the same time a high quality of life in a green environment. Cologne’s inner city is reachable in about 10 km, both via the A4 motorway and conveniently via KVB Line 1. Refrath even has an express bus connection: the SB40 runs from Refrath directly via the A4 to Cologne with a maximum of one stop until Cologne’s central station. Thanks to the very good connections, not only Cologne is within short reach.

Refrath is continuously developing – both in terms of infrastructure and economically. In addition to a stable, affluent resident structure, the location benefits from a steadily growing demand for high-quality living space.

Particularly notable is the high recreational and leisure value:

• The expansive Königsforst with its wildlife park is in the immediate vicinity

• As well as the Sallermühlensee, the Kahnweiher, and other recreational areas

• The Mediterana is one of the best-known wellness centers in the region

• The Bergisch Gladbach ice sports hall complements the leisure offerings

The topography is an often underestimated advantage: Refrath is predominantly flat, making the area ideal for cyclists. Routes towards Bergisch Gladbach and Cologne (via Brück and Rath) can be covered almost without any inclines.

Overall, this is a location that combines urban proximity, nature, infrastructure, and long-term value stability in a way that is not available in the surrounding Cologne area with such a variety of amenities and possibilities.

The property stands out significantly from the usual standard of comparable multi-family houses. Both visually and in terms of technical equipment, an above-average standard has been implemented.
