House for sale • 191 m² without real estate, Hesse

This two-family house in the center of Butzbach brings together three qualities that rarely appear together: existing rental income, plenty of space for different lifestyles, and a clear perspective for future use.

On a 353 m² plot, the house—built in 1930 with 190.24 m² of living area distributed over two separate residential units and a total of eight rooms—is sold without buyer commission. The living areas are divided into 58.71 m² on the ground floor (apartment 1) and 131.53 m² on the upper and attic floors (apartment 2, including a portion of the balcony).

The ground floor apartment is leased on a long-term basis; its current warm rent is €470 (with €350 cold rent and €120 advance on ancillary costs). As the cold rent is significantly below the local market level, this creates concrete income potential for the buyer through a rent adjustment that is legally permissible.

The unit on the upper and attic floors is currently occupied by the owner; as part of the sale, this apartment includes a documented, fixed-term rental agreement of 18 months at a cold rent of at least €700. This secures the buyer from day one a guaranteed total cold rent of at least €1,050 per month. After the transitional period, several options are open: owner occupancy, new letting, multi-generational living, or a combination of living and renting.

This flexible configuration makes the property attractive both to owner-occupiers and to investors. Those who wish to live in it themselves can plan the handover timing and meanwhile receive rental income from both units. Investors acquire an asset with immediate income and a clearly defined time frame for complete self-management of both apartments.

The features include a large balcony on the upper floor, a wood-burning stove, a fitted kitchen, a parking space on the property, as well as basement and storage areas. The basement provides an additional usable space with a WC, mini kitchen (stovetop, sink, dishwasher) and a covered outdoor access – ideal for garden parties or as a functional extension. The pool located in the garden is also included in the sale.

Sold directly by the owner, without any broker involvement. Complete sales documents, including architectural drawings, measured plans, and a living area calculation prepared by an architect, are available.

Butzbach – central, practical, well-connected

The property is located in the center of Butzbach, an area that combines short distances with good accessibility. Shopping facilities, schools, kindergartens, doctors, the train station, and other everyday amenities can be reached on foot or in just a few minutes, depending on the destination. This blend of proximity to the inner city and everyday practicality is a decisive locational advantage for many buyers and tenants.

Butzbach also benefits from its location between the Rhine-Main area and Central Hesse. The nearby A5 offers good connections toward Frankfurt, Gießen, and the surrounding region. The train station further strengthens connections for commuters and users of public transportation.

As a medium-sized town on the outskirts of a metropolitan area, Butzbach offers a combination that is increasingly sought after: functional local infrastructure, comparatively affordable purchase prices relative to major cities, and consistently stable rental demand.

According to market data (sources: ImmoScout24, miet-check.de, as of Q1 2026), current asking rents for houses average between €10.50 and €12.00 per m² – an environment that reliably enables market-appropriate renting and underlines the income potential of the property.

For buyers who want to both live in the property and rent it out, the location offers a double advantage: short commuting distances and a rental market with stable demand. Those investing exclusively as capital investors benefit from a medium-sized town with a functioning economic structure and demand that has remained constant in recent years.

The house has been modernized in several steps over the past decades. Notable is the wood-burning stove installed in 2006, the predominantly replaced plastic windows with double glazing (two windows are made of wood) from 1993, the renovated exterior façade from 2002, and the balcony built in 2010 on the upper floor. In addition, interior thermal insulation with drywall and styrofoam was carried out.

The building is heated by an oil central heating system with central hot water supply; the heating unit dates from 1991. The property includes four oil tanks, each with a capacity of 1,000 liters.

The house features a gable roof with clay tile covering, solid ceilings, and a wooden staircase. The floor coverings consist of laminate, tiles, and cork. The exterior wall thickness is 40 cm in the ground and upper floors, and 27 cm in the attic – an indication of the solid, long-lasting construction typical of this era.

On the upper floor, the generous balcony, the wood-burning stove, and the fitted kitchen emphasize the homely character. The attic offers additional fully usable living space with three rooms, a bathroom, and a corridor.

The property is rounded off by a parking space on the premises, spacious basement and storage rooms, as well as an additional usable area in the basement with a WC and mini kitchen (stovetop, sink, dishwasher). This area is directly accessible from the garden via a covered external staircase – ideal for parties or as a functional everyday extension. The pool in the garden, approximately 3 m in diameter and about 0.90 m deep, is part of the sale.

Energy Certificate: Energy demand certificate according to the GEG, final energy demand of 235.3 kWh/(m²·a), energy efficiency class G, main energy source oil, heating unit built in 1991, issued on April 21, 2026, valid until April 20, 2036 (Reg. No. HE-2026-006349605).

Purchase Price: €479,000 – commission-free for the buyer.

Rental Income and Use: The ground floor apartment is leased long-term; current warm rent is €470 (with €350 cold rent and €120 advance on ancillary costs). The cold rent is significantly below the local comparative rent – an upward, legally permissible adjustment is possible and can be discussed with the buyer. The apartment on the upper and attic floors is currently used by the owner; as part of the sale, there is a documented fixed-term rental agreement in the purchase contract for 18 months at a cold rent of at least €700. From the handover, this results in a secured total cold rent of at least €1,050 per month – with further income potential in both units.

The pre-emptive right holders have agreed to sign a waiver promptly upon presentation of a concrete purchase offer, so that nothing stands in the way of a speedy processing.
