Flat to rent 3+kk • 68 m² without real estateRathausplatz 28, , North Rhine-Westphalia

The house features a thermally insulated exterior façade, and the attics are also fully insulated, so that the apartment remains pleasantly tempered in both winter and summer, thereby achieving excellent energy consumption ratings. It is a well-maintained eight-family residential building in which only one- and two-person households reside, making for a very quiet environment. Since the basement houses the drying rooms and the laundry room designated for tenant-owned washing machines, the attic—located above the apartment on the third floor and belonging to the homeowners’ association—is not used, which also eliminates any footsteps from above. Each apartment comes with its own separate tenant cellar. The modern central gas heating system also provides hot water, which is metered by separate hot water meters so that everyone only pays for what is consumed. Energy guzzlers such as instantaneous water heaters or under-sink storage water heaters are not present because hot water is already included in the heating costs.

The house, Rathausplatz 28, is situated at the corner of Moltkestraße, opposite the tax office and diagonally across from the former post office in Hattingen. This is where the pedestrian zone of Moltkestraße begins, from which all shops in downtown Hattingen are within easy walking distance. In just a 10-minute walk, the S-Bahn stop for the train to Essen and the bus station at Reschop—providing bus and tram connections to Bochum and the neighboring towns—can be reached. Behind the house there is a small garden, accessible via a courtyard door and shared with the neighboring house at Moltkestraße 3. This garden is fenced with a wall and is accessible and usable only by the residents of the two houses. It is quiet, green, and yet very centrally located.

The bathroom was completely modernized and renewed in all respects some time ago and features a window, a bathtub, a separate shower, a toilet, and a washbasin. The sanitary fittings are in white, the wall tiles feature subtle marble-like patterns, and a blue tiled border runs around. Thus, the bathroom is equipped with modern tiles, fixtures, and natural light. All rooms can be reached separately from the hallway. Next to the bathroom is the separate kitchen; in front, there is a small dining or study room, and adjacent to that is the living room, while the bedroom with access to the balcony is at the front right. In some cases, however, the living room has also been set up as the bedroom, and what was intended as the bedroom was used as the living room; that is, these two rooms are flexibly usable. The study room is not suitable as a child's room, as it is too small for that purpose. This room is ideal for a home office, as it provides a separate space with its own door and window. Although it is an attic apartment, there are no sloping ceilings in the bedroom and hardly any in the other rooms, which provides ample floor space for furniture, especially since the entire loft floor is still located above the attic.

The balcony faces the garden and receives sunlight from the morning until noon, meaning it has an east-south orientation. The apartment is very quiet, especially since there are no other residents living above it. The study is equipped with a new Velux window. The other windows in the apartment are standard plastic windows with insulating glazing, and the living area features a balcony door system made of plastic with insulating glazing. Thanks to the many windows in every room, the apartment is bright and very cozy. The interior doors are scheduled for replacement in all apartments in the coming weeks. The main entrance door has already been replaced.

If desired, the kitchen shown in the pictures can be taken over, and the laminate flooring can also be kept.

Keeping a dog is not permitted in the apartment. The apartment is not suitable for shared living (WG).
