UNIQUE HOUSE-IN-HOUSE FOUNDER ERA ORIGINAL

Located in one of the most beautiful historic buildings on the favorite street of the highly coveted Belgian Quarter, this captivating founder era original awaits you. The absolutely unique house-in-house ensemble consists of the Beletage on the raised ground floor (Unit 4) and the barrier-free terrace/garden apartment on the ground floor (Unit 2).

Each unit already represents a standalone gem in its own right. They were painstakingly modernized from a single source (Unit 4: 2012) or gutted and completely rebuilt to new-construction quality (Unit 2: 2015). They can be occupied as independent units or at any time combined.

The result is a unique combination of a prime city location with founder era spirit, climate neutrality, timelessly modern equipment, and numerous value-enhancing distinctive features. This creates maximally flexible usage options and a risk-free investment in concrete gold with the very best prospects for the future.

Look forward to an immediately available offer that, in this fortunate combination, will likely never be available again. It is offered directly from the creating owner without any intermediaries, thus saving you a six-figure broker commission. Additionally, virtual tours using 3D twins are available immediately upon request (see below).

FAVORITE STREET IN THE FAVORITE QUARTER

The apartment is located in a very well-maintained founder era listed building in the heart of Cologne. Right in the middle of the Belgian Quarter. In an absolutely quiet prime city location. Surrounded by Ehrenstraße, Rudolfplatz, Aachenerstraße, and Brüsselerplatz. Lütticherstraße is set away from the main traffic flows and is a one-lane, exceptionally quiet and beautiful residential street by Cologne city center standards.

The street is lined with mature trees and greenery. There are front gardens and parking spaces on both sides of the building fronts. The distance between the facing houses is approximately twice as much as in typical Cologne developments. This gives the street a very spacious and charming character. It marks, within just a few hundred meters, one of the most desirable and valuable micro prime locations in the already highly coveted Belgian Quarter as well as in Cologne’s city center.

Right at your doorstep, you’ll find urban neighborhood life and perhaps the densest collection of city lifestyle offerings in Cologne. All daily necessities, Cologne’s perhaps largest array of gastronomy/scenes, Stadtgarten, the green belt, and several parking garages are right around the corner. Ehren-, Pfeil- and Mittelstraße along with further shopping boulevards and temples of retail, the walkable city center, and the Friesen- and Rathenau districts are all accessible within a few minutes on foot.

In short—the cathedral city unfolds before you and lies literally at your feet.
