Best Residential Location in Idstein: Quiet and Elevated Setting in a Top Neighborhood!

In a quiet and established residential area of Idstein, this detached flat-roofed bungalow stands on a plot of approximately 679 m² with a peaceful south-facing garden.

Since the street runs to the north of the house, the living and garden areas pleasantly orient themselves toward the sunny south. It is precisely this clear separation between the northern access and the quiet living area facing the garden that gives the house its special quality.

The house was originally conceived as an architect-designed bungalow with a clear language of form and still impresses today with its calm horizontal architecture, central spiral staircase, and the exceptionally beautiful connection between the living rooms and the garden.

A unique spatial impression is created already upon entering:

bright living areas, clear lines, plenty of light, and the direct connection to the spacious south terrace characterize the house.

At the same time, the property offers a rare architectural perspective for the future:

The combination of a flat roof, the size of the plot, and the planning regulations provide exceptionally interesting possibilities for high-quality further development – for example, by adding a set-back tier with a roof terrace, without losing the original character of the house.

The sample visualizations are intended to show possible architectural developments of the existing house and to highlight its inherent potential. The well-proportioned plot offers a variety of options.

The living spaces create an exceptionally pleasant connection between indoor and outdoor areas.

The large living area with direct access to the terrace forms the heart of the house. The single-story house, built in 1963, features a very large, bright living room with a huge window front overlooking the garden (south) as well as additional windows facing west.

The study, with windows facing south and east, is also flooded with light. The bathroom with shower and bathtub is a spacious daylight bathroom (with a laundry chute into the basement). The guest WC also has daylight.

The kitchen, with windows looking out onto the large front garden, could be made even brighter by enlarging the windows. Currently, the building in need of renovation has a flat roof as well as a garage and could be expanded and transformed into a spacious villa.

There is a finished basement with a storage room, laundry room, heating room, party room, a living/sleeping room with a daylight window, a small bathroom, and an additional room.

The living/sleeping room was used as a guest room for a long time and served as a bedroom for more than 10 years. It is also excellently suited for a home office, as a hobby or sports room.

The house is fully basemented and is built in solid construction – both the ground floor and the basement are masonry (hollow concrete blocks).

Especially in the potential additional tier, exceptionally attractive prospects arise for:

• a representative home office,

• quiet work in a green environment,

• bright work or living areas,

• creative retreat spaces,

• as well as a modern combination of living and working.

The combination of a large roof terrace, tranquility, a south garden, light, and a penthouse character creates an extraordinary work-life balance that is rarely found in this area.

Depending on the construction, you can see the Hexenturm (Witches’ Tower). For further details regarding the possibilities for expansion (such as adding another floor, increasing the living area, etc.), please refer to the development plan.

Optimal Location:

Quiet, elevated, and at the same time the best residential location of Idstein.

This quiet architect-designed bungalow in a prime Idstein location combines the living quality of a spacious south garden with the rare opportunity to further develop architecture, living, and modern working in an extraordinary way.

The combination of flat-roof architecture and development potential offers a quality of living that is seldom found in this area.

Supermarkets like Edeka and Rewe, the city center, Fresenius University of Applied Sciences Idstein, and the train station are within walking distance. The highway to Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, Limburg, and Cologne can be reached in just a few minutes by car.

Dream Location:

• Best location in Idstein

• Quiet residential neighborhood

Well Connected:

• 300 m to the swimming and leisure pool with wellness & spa

• 350 m to EDEKA, 700 m to REWE, Rossmann, Biomarkt, Dielmann, etc.

• 400 m to the MediZentrum with pharmacy and doctors’ offices

• 800 m to Fresenius University / start of the center

• 850 m to Idstein train station

• 1,000 m to Idstein’s old town (a 12-minute walk)

• 4 minutes by car to the A3 highway

• 26 minutes by car to Frankfurt Airport

Educational Facilities in Idstein:

• All types of schools on site. The primary school is 200 m away.

• Fresenius University of Applied Sciences

• Adult education center (Volkshochschule)

• Family and Senior Academy

• 2 music schools

• The house is solidly built (both stories – ground floor and basement – are built with hollow concrete blocks).

• Since 1963 there have been many innovations and opportunities such as Smart Home. It is understandable that a renewal of the heating, electrical, and water systems is recommended.

Currently, the house consists of:

• A large living room followed by a dining room – if one wall were removed upon moving in, there would still be a large living room with a terrace door and access to the garden (facing south) as well as a dining room with its own terrace door (facing west).

• Bedroom (facing east)

• TV/children’s room (facing east)

• Spacious study (facing south and east). Originally, the large study consisted of two smaller children’s rooms.

• Kitchen

• Bright daylight bathroom with bathtub, shower, WC, and laundry chute

• Guest WC (also with daylight)

• Flat roof

• Our grandfather (in a wheelchair) was able to achieve barrier-free access relatively easily through two movable guidance tracks. It is also conceivable to install a fixed, almost horizontal, L-shaped ramp along the wall from the front door to next to the garage door.

Energy Certificate:

When the energy certificate was issued, an extremely outdated oil heating system was still installed. This oil heating system and the old oil tank have since been removed. The new owners are free to install whichever heating system makes the most sense for them.

• Spacious south-facing plot

• Pleasant, established neighborhood

• Optimal north/south orientation of the house

• Quiet living and garden connection to the sunny south

It is precisely the combination of quiet architecture, high-quality future prospects, generous southern orientation, work-life balance, and extraordinary development potential that makes this property particularly attractive.

Location

• In one of the most sought-after residential areas of Idstein

• Historic old town within walking distance

• Pleasant neighborhood

• High quality of life

• Relatively close to Wiesbaden, Frankfurt, and the airport

• Very good transport connections

• All types of schools on site

Additional Details:

• GRZ 0.30 and GFZ 0.60 (allowing an extension to approximately 407 m² of gross floor area)

• Fully basemented

• Ceiling heights in the basement are about 2.24 – 2.31 m, making the space suitable for residential purposes under Hessian building regulations for existing buildings with appropriate daylight.

• Additional parking spaces in the front garden are conceivable.

• Heating has been removed (old oil heating system and oil tank removed); the technical area can thus be used flexibly for other purposes.

The fully basemented garden level offers far more possibilities than a classic basement. Due to the available ceiling heights, the natural terrain slope, and the daylight possibilities from the west, south, and east, interesting potential arises for:

• Guest or practice rooms,

• Living-like common areas,

• Studio or fitness use, or

• An in-law suite with a separate external entrance.
