Flat for sale 3+1 • 101 m² without real estateIm Erlenbruch Essen Altenessen-Nord Nordrhein-Westfalen 45329

The large, bright apartment covers 100.96 m² and is divided into a living room with an open fireplace, a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, a guest WC, and a hallway. From the living room, you can access the garden belonging to the apartment through a large floor-to-ceiling sliding door and via a spacious conservatory terrace. There is a second access from the kitchen.

The apartment also includes a utility space in the basement of approximately 90 m², divided into a large wellness room with an open fireplace, sauna, and shower, along with an adjoining storage cellar. Additionally, there is a separate room (office space) in the basement, as well as a bathroom with a shower and WC, a storage room, and a hallway area. From the basement, you can reach the building’s hallway through a side door and the garden via an exterior staircase. All the apartment's entrance doors are equipped with special burglary-resistant security fittings.

Furthermore, according to the declaration of division, six outdoor parking spaces located in the rear courtyard form part of the common property. These are allocated as a gratuitous special usage right to Condominium Apartment No. 1 in accordance with §5 (3). The previous owner of Condominium Apartment No. 1 transformed the entire area with considerable effort by planting high-quality flowering plants and shrubs to create a private recreational garden. A parking space for a car is provided by a garage built in 1982 in the basement, which is used by the owner of Apartment No. 1. According to the declaration of division, the garage is situated on common property.

The property is located on a quiet side street, approximately a 5-minute walk from Karlsplatz, the local center of Altenessen. Schools, kindergartens, doctors, and all shopping facilities are conveniently accessible on foot. The apartment features tiled floors and solid wood parquet. The bathrooms have a 1970s design style. Both fireplaces are fully operational and approved by the chimney sweep. In the bedroom, there is a floor-to-ceiling wardrobe custom-made by a carpenter, and additional built-in closets are installed in the hallway. In the basement, there is a rarely used but fully functional sauna. The garden includes a garden shed built in log construction.

According to the declaration of division, the multi-family house comprises a total of six condominiums (Condominium No. 1 through 6). During a conversion, Condominium No. 1—which spans large areas in the basement, ground floor, and first upper floor—was physically separated. The ground floor apartment is vacant and can be occupied immediately. The premises on the first upper floor were separated and converted into an independent apartment, which is rented until 31.07.2026.

The conversion can be reversed by installing a staircase and reopening the former ceiling opening, making it an optimal solution for larger families. The apartment is for sale because the owner passed away in 2025, and the heirs (two sons and three grandchildren) live in other cities and are not interested in renting out the apartments.

The condominium association is in agreement with the sale (ensuring an uncomplicated process), is offering the property commission-free, and is now seeking buyers for the following models:

Model 1: Sale according to the current declaration of division. In this case, both the sale and occupation of the areas are immediately possible.

Model 2: Sale of the individual apartments after dividing them into two separate units (ground floor and first upper floor), which can then be sold separately. This process depends on the following formalities, which, although straightforward, can be time-consuming:

1. Consent of the condominium association

2. Building permit

3. Certificate of completion

4. Notarial amendment of the declaration of division

5. Land register entry
