House for sale 4+1 • 130 m² without real estate, Saxony-Anhalt

The historical brick building was constructed in 1896 and is a protected monument. It served as an interim church until 1898, after which it was misused for decades and eventually completely neglected. Beginning in 1998, it was properly and professionally renovated and used as a church again until the current owner acquired it in 2019 and converted it for residential purposes. Since then, renovations have been continuously taking place.

Currently, the former church presents itself as a fully equipped single-family house with a unique spatial impression in every respect. Its interior owes much to the large, arched openings featuring the massive entrance door and decorative wooden-framed windows with colorful, elaborate fused glazing, as well as the generous floor area and pleasant ceiling height. On the exterior, one finds “the functional, unplastered brick construction with a sparse articulation through pilasters, cornices, and rising step friezes on the gable” (from the monument justification). The exclusive ambiance inside—stemming from the building’s original purpose—harmonizes with the furnishings such as solid beech wood doors and wall cabinets, which, together with the original light fixtures and modern elements like the high-quality, fully equipped kitchen island, lend the overall appearance of the house an exceptionally stylish and timeless touch. A pleasant indoor climate is ensured by the central heating system, modernized in 2024, which includes wall-mounted radiators and additional underfloor heating in the larger rooms, as well as by the careful construction of floors and ceilings. The floor is laid with tiles on screed over a 10 cm thick insulation with a vapor barrier; the attic is finished with planks on cement-bonded chipboard over a 16 cm thick insulation, including a vapor barrier and moisture-resistant gypsum board. Additionally, the interior of the exterior walls is insulated. About 130 square meters of living space with 4 rooms on the ground floor, plus approximately 100 square meters of developable space in the attic, provide ample opportunities for use.

The property, approximately 403 square meters in size, is paved and resembles a large terrace with green islands, spaces for potted plants, and seating areas for the residents. Overall, it is a low-maintenance facility! The enclosure with the raised entrance gate protects against prying eyes, and a surveillance system is in place. Additionally, there is a newly built carport (2025) available for vehicles.

The property not only offers a uniquely special living experience—it also comes with tax advantages such as reduced property tax and generous depreciation allowances, thanks to its status as a registered historic monument.
